Waring MG100 meat grinder
I'd like to get started making sausage. I'd prefer to buy a grinder
locally and about all I've come up with is the Waring MG100 shown he http://www.lowes.com/lkn?action=prod...3681-576-MG100 Has anyone used this grinder? How do you like it? Thanks. |

That big 'ol case hides a measly 150w motor. I can't imagine a motor that small hanging in there when pushed. It might be adequate for grinding a couple chicken breasts for chicken salad or enough beef for a few burgers, but I can't see it pulling the load if you want to grind 10 lbs of sausage and push it into a casing. I've got an old Sears grinder that's barely adequate and it's got a 370w motor. Now, the drive goes through a 90 deg set of bevel gears, but even with 30% power loss, that's still 250w for grinding. And mine is half the size of the MG100. You might look at these grinders if you want some serious power. http://www.chefknivestogo.com/meatgrinders.html nb |

In fact, mine is not really any good at making sausage, either. Running meat out of a grinder into a sausage tube is basically a marketing gimmick, anyway. Real sausage making requires a dedicated sausage stuffer, not a grinding/stuffing compromise. OTOH, if one is just going to grind up a couple pounds of round for meat loaf, these lightweight grinders may cut it, although 150w still sounds pretty damn wimpy to me. I think I have a cocktail stirrer with more muscle than that! :) nb |

(At least not anymore). I use a Rival Model 2100M with a 225 Watt motor. It has no trouble with ten pound batches. Mine is pretty old and has a solid cast aluminum grinder housing with a plastic auger. I think they're mostly all plastic now. M&M |

I fully expect it to burn up every time I use it, but so far it just keeps turning, although slowly. I have a #22 cast iron hand cranker. They're a lot of work. My next one will probably be a long the lines of: http://www.butcher-packer.com/pg_gri...ctric_beem.htm or something of similar size. Bill |
