Default Why Every Cook NEEDS A Meat Grinder

There's no exact recipe for 'kotleti' (Russian burgers), I usually use
ground beef but chicken works well. Season how you like but no pre
ground mystery meat.
One of my favorite uses for skinless boneless chicken breasts,
Kotleti:

What's the penalty for using ground meat from the grocery
store?

If memory serves, I have twice in the past year gone to the grocery
store and purchased 1/2 pound of ground beef. That's it. My
entire home use of ground meat in a year has been 1 pound. I believe
1/4 pound is still in the freezer. It's just not worth grinding my own.

Yes, I have a grinder. It hasn't been used in years.

Me too but if I want some then I would throw in the food processor,
mine does a job that's just as efficient as a grinder with less clean
up.

Managed to work out your so you don't get a basically pink/red paste?
I like the distinct grind and generally the fatter blade grind (called
chili grind by some).

For so little all you need is a wooden bowl and a chopping knife... at
least you'll still know what/who is in it... and will have many other
uses. This company has very nice wooden kitchen products at good
prices:

Obviously, I don't care what's in it. It's meat.

FFS, I eat raw fish that I haven't seen prepared. It's
just not a problem.

Only one pound per year. Really? I don't eat much ground meat myself
but certainly more than that. A grinder would be nice here but I
wouldn't use one enough to warrant the price. Sheldon pointed me to
one for about $165 a few years ago. Decent price but not for as much
as I would use one.

That represents four hamburgers.

That's this past year. Other years, I've used more. Maybe
5 or 10 pounds. We eat mainly chicken, fish/shellfish, steak,
and pork loin, but very little ground meat.

In the past year, DH has lost 160 pounds; we weren't
eating a lot of beef.

I just did up 40lbs bone in (chicken necks, backs and leg quarters)
with a neighbor here. While she finished bagging, I washed the machine
down and then we cut and ground 20lbs pork. We were done in a little
over an hour.

Key thing is we have need (pet feeding and other) for one and we get a
better (safer) meat. Your grocer may be fine, but if they get it
pre-ground from some mega facility, your chances go up that something
may be wrong with it.

I buy it often to make meat loaf, never had a problem or a
complaint...except maybe here which really doesn't mean squat to me since
some of the posters are obviously mentally ill. LOL

I am very fussy about my minced meat. I like to mince it and either cook or
freeze it immediately. The idea that it is sitting around half a day on
some counter ... Then there are those butchers who mince it for you. Who
knows what is in that mincer before your meat goes through it.

I don't complain about others' choices but they are not for me.

Really. Imagine if Klondike was the last one to use it.

Well I don't have a tin hat. Perhaps you can lend me yours? )

Indeed it does. You weren't on RFC in 1999. I remember the date
because it was right before Y2K and I needed just a bit of ground pork
to make steamed pork crab & shrimp dumplings. The grocery store (I was
still in TN) had just changed hands. All I could find was 1 lb.
packages of Hormel cryo-vac'd ground pork. I didn't need a pound of
ground pork.

The butcher asked what I was looking for. I told him. He said the new
management wouldn't let him grind anything *but* beef. He told me he'd
been a butcher for 20 years and he sure as hell knew how to clean a
grinder between every grind. He basically said screw management and
ground 6 oz. of lean pork for me.

Thai Dumplings

3 oz. flaked crabmeat
6 oz ground pork
6 large shrimp, minced*
1 Tbsp water
1/4 tsp garlic salt (I use minced garlic and add some salt to the mix)
1-1/2 - 2-1/2 Tbsp cornstarch
1 egg
1-1/2 Tbsp light soy sauce
1 Tbsp peanut oil
1/2 tsp pepper
1 pkg wonton wrappers

*Since I rarely just have 6 large shrimp lying around, I buy a bag of
small frozen "salad shrimp" and measure out what I need... no need to
mince those, either! Place shrimp, crabmeat and pork in mixing bowl.
Blend in remaining ingredients except wonton wrappers and mix together
until firm (add a little more cornstarch if mixture is too wet). Hold a
wonton wrapper in one hand. Place 1 Tbsp filling in the center. Fold the
corners in to meet in the middle, squeezing to close the top. Moisten
fingers with water and gently seal (I noticed last night they look like
small whole heads of garlic when done!). Place in a lightly oiled
steamer basket. Steam (covered) over simmering water about 25 minutes.
Serve with dipping sauce (below).

Serves 4

Dipping sauce (or use whatever you like):
4 Tbsp white wine vinegar
2 Tbsp hot water
1 tsp sugar
2 Tbsp dark soy sauce
2 Tbsp thinly sliced ginger root

Blend all ingredients together. Let sit at least 30 minutes. Use as a
dipping sauce for dumplings.

Sorry, I wasn't specific. What's the penalty for using store-bought
meat in this particular recipe? Will Sheldon detect it and drive
over here to berate me? Will God strike me dead with lightning?

No, he's too provincial to leave Noo Yawk for such affairs.

LOL, I don't believe that they would let Sheldon have a license to drive
anything other than a tractor, so it will probably take him a long time to
get there and you will already have used it by then. ;-)

Yep! Which is why I let my favorite local STL gourmet grocer Straub's grind all my "ground beast" for me!! They use high quality sanitary beef and equipment, and make the best "ground beast" in STL, I'd bet! I KNOW it tastes better than Schnucks' ground beef!! Been there, had that, and NEVER AGAIN!!

"My mental health professional has directed me to apologize to this
group at large and to Marty and Steven in specific for acting out
here. A change in my medications is being made to address a disorder I
have been experiencing this summer. I will be monitored, but I am no
longer allowed to engage in certain activities I previously have
enjoyed as they exacerbate my condition. I apologize for being
disruptive, in a better state of mind this was generally not an issue
for me."
