Usage Recommendations
Start by trimming meat of excess sinew and large pieces of fat for a consistent grind. For thicker grind results, use the coarser plate and for sausages switch to the stuffer tube and feed ground meat using the pusher. If the feed becomes blocked, press the reverse button to clear the jam and then resume operation. Allow the motor to cool if the thermal cut-out has activated, since the unit will stop automatically to protect the motor from overheating.
Advantages
This grinder is useful for preparing homemade sausage mixes and specialty dishes like kubbe, and it handles a range of meats including beef, chicken, and game. The dedicated storage compartment helps keep the included accessories tidy between uses. Durable stainless cutting parts are dishwasher-safe according to the manufacturer, while some alloy parts should be hand-washed to avoid darkening or oxidation. Consider that heavy continuous commercial use may require pauses to prevent repeated thermal shutdowns.
