Meat Grinder Recommendation?
I'm looking at the Waring 800...158.00 on Amazon with free shipping.

Not nearly as pricey as a separate appliance and finding space to house it. Polly |

From what I gather, there is now only one 110V non-commercial meat grinder/mincer on the American market which is not produced in China/Laogai: the made-in-Japan Panasonic MK-G20NR-W (available on Amazon). In the 220-240V category, there is a choice of producing countries. I like the made-in-Germany Braun Power Plus 1300 (also labelled G1300K). Some US distributors carry this and other such mincers, for example <http://www.newkunst.com/cat.asp?mCat=Small%20Appliance&sCat=Meat%20Grinder >. This is just an example, not a personal recommendation, as I do not know anything about this particular retailer. Otherwise, these mincers may have to be ordered from abroad. Victor |

What are your needs, then? I have the KA attachment in addition to my Maverick, and it works fine for grinding 1-3 lbs of meat. But it does not take a standard plate, so if you want a coarser grind (I use a 1/2" grind for my some of my chilis), you're out of luck, or paying for custom work. -- Larry |

I do at least 5 # at a time, and it stresses my KA too much. Plus, it has to be cut just right and at the right stage of frozenness? for it to work well. I'm sure that applies to other grinders, too. |

I'm sure that > applies to other grinders, too. Not really. That Chinese #12 grinder that I linked last night will grind up an entire cold beef brisket in just a few minutes, and it doesn't have to be partially frozen, and you don't have to cut it up all that small first. -Bob |

The newer Pro (no longer labeled Waring by Cabela) is now 500W and costs $229. I'd go for this MG800 at Amazon: http://tinyurl.com/33ezwt .....for $160 (free shipping). That's a good price, anymore, if they're what Shelly claims. nb |

That's a good price, anymore, if >they're what Shelly claims. The one at Amazon is the very same 450 watt machine sold at Cabela's for less money but you may need to pay shipping unless you live a reasonable distance from their store. Tha Amazon deal is good with free shipping. I bought mine about five years ago from Chef's Catalog, I paid $160 +shipping. It was meant as a gift for my daughter but she said she'd never use it so I used it and retired my Moulinex. If you can buy that Moulinex in Victor's post for $85 grab it, it's a size smaller than the Waring Pro but I think it's designed far better, the grinding head attaches much better and it has avery nice storage compartment for blades and plates... it's plenty powerful enough for the home kitchen. BTW, meat should be cold for grinding but never partially frozen, then it's no longer fresh meat... Isuppose that's okay if you'r egoing to freeze it anyway or you'r egoing to use it for chili, but for burgers you want fresh never frozen meat... freezing breaks the cells and the meal will lose a lot of moisture and make dry burgers. With either of these machines you don't need to put meat in the freezer to get a good grind, just keep everything cold for food safety... I place the grinding head and bowl in my freezer to chill. |
