Takes less time and effort to make up your own than to make the trip
to the store... and you'll know who's in it. Takes less than fifteen
minutes to grind 5 lbs of pork butt, package and clean up. I usually
make up 10-15 pounds... some becomes patties, some bulk for meat
sauce, often I'll grind 4-5 pounds of half pork/half beef for meat
loaf, season the meat prior to grinding... also grind in the onion,
celery, bell pepper, and parsely, saves the knife work... may as well
grind the parsley stems and all. For meat loaf I like to grind in
some raw potato for moistness. I use a large carrot for a pusher and
then grind that in too. Don't grind garlic cloves as they'll stay in
one lump, I'll use dehy garlic instead. Grinds faster if the meat is
sliced into 1" strips... toss with seasoning and a wee bit of olive
oil as lube. Best to work cold (early AM), put the grinder head in
the freezer and refrigerate your bowls and meat strips. Sometimes
instead of meat loaf I'll make meat-a-balles.
