Sorry, but that's not true for everybody. A food processor tears the
meat, creates wildly unevenly sized chunks with more surface area, and
is very difficult to time repeatedly for a particular result.

A decent grinder has plates for a wide range of sizes of meat "pellets",
produces a much more consistent result, and is perfectly repeatable. And
it can easily grind twenty pounds of meat in minutes.

Plus my grinder is considerably easier to clean and takes up less room
in the dishwasher than my food processor, even though it has one more
piece -- 5 vs. 4.

As an example, chili made with a food processor is just horrible. Chili
made with my largest grinder plate, with 1/2 inch holes, saves me a
half-hour of cubing beef by hand, and is terrific.

FWIW, for about ten years, I've been using a Maverick, from pleasanthill
grains.com:
http://pleasanthillgrain.com/maverick-5501-meat-grinder
$82 and well worth every penny.

So you've been using this one for 10 years? That sounds much more
into my range of maybe buying one. I would love to have one but my
annual use just wouldn't be worth it. It's half the price of the nifty
one Sheldon recommended though.

If you don't need one very often, you don't have to have an electric one.
Hand ones are very cheap:

That looks good enough for me as little as I would grind meat. I'll
have to translate that later into USD. :-D

I'm about to cook early TG dinner. Will only take about 1 hour once I
start as all preparations are done now.

- "Oven fried" chicken -
- each piece dipped into an egg wash (egg & bit of milk)
- then dredged into flour containing sage, salt and pepper

- baked sweet potato with butter, s&p
- broccoli with cheese
- a bit of homemade stuffing (sadly, no whole chicken to cook it in)

- for dessert, a thick cold slice of cranberry-apple cake.
I made that yesterday evening. Dangerous food...it's so moist
and rich, I always eat too much. ;-o

Yes, but you should be sure that it either:

1) comes with all the choices of grinding plates you might need, usually
1/8", 1/4", 3/8", and possibly larger; o

or

2) uses standard plates, which come in several diameters.

Very similar to what I had about 30 years ago. It clamped onto the
countertop. It was initially to grind food for the baby along with the
blender, but it soon had many uses.

Huh... I made my own baby food too but with a Foley food mill... I
would never use that filthy POS crank grinder for baby food, I'd not
trust it for feeding feral beasts. I'm joking of course but no meat
grinder prepares food fine enough for a baby, a meat grinder is fine
for toddler food but not for a baby. I still use my Foley food mill,
perfect for tomato sauce from home growns, removes all the seeds,
skins, and cores. Mine is some 70 years old, of tinned steel, not SS.

Sheldon tends to over estimate.

My Tasin (true one, not the chinese knock off) was about 150$ and got
it 2007. It's been doing 50-60 lbs a month since then with 1/2 or more
small bone in chicken raw for dog feeding.

Funny you should mention it. My dishwasher is working right now,
while I laze about reading rec.food.cooking. Sure, I could do
without a dishwasher, but why should I? It uses less water than
I would hand washing. My water bill is already high enough.

I'm with you - loathe washing dishes so if something can't go in the
dishwasher, doesn't live here

I have my own private well so I don't pay much for water, just a
little electric for the pump, but still I don't run my dishwasher very
much, I find it easier to wash cat food bowls by hand. I use a lot
more water for flushing toilets and bathing, you probably rarely bathe
and don't flush until you're about to pass out from the stink.

As much as I dislike you, Sheldon, I do laugh at your over-the-top insults.
The idea of someone not flushing their toilet until they're "about to pass
out from the stink" is absurd. I knew this hippie chick who thought that
you shouldn't flush every time as long as it was just pee, but letting poop accumulate in the toilet isn't something that any sane person would do. If
you were skilled at poetry--and perhaps you are--you could write lyrics for
a punk rock band. A song titled *Some Like it Gross* could have a verse
about not flushing, and another about intentionally letting food rot, and
perhaps one about keeping the cat's litter box on the kitchen counter.

Sounds like pltrgyst is Full Of DooDoo... he showed a web site of a
grinder with an aluminum housing, those go in the dishwasher and you
can toss them in the trash. Anyone can pull an ad off the net, if he
really owned that toys r us grinder he'd show a photo of it being used
to grind meat.

But fact is it takes me less than three minutes to clean my meat
grinder washing it by hand, less time than to clean the bowl, cutting
board, knife, and and what other implements are used. An electric
meat grinder consists of the body, and then four small parts... the
auger, front nut, plate, and blade. You don't wash the motor. Takes
more time and effort to clean a stupid plastic food processor, that
can't grind meat anyway. A food processor is fine if one wants to
*emulsify* meat into paste for making bologna and tube steak, but it
can't grind anything.

My recommendation is to buy a grinder that's larger than what you
think you'll need, small throated grinders smear meat, ruin it... meat
is expensive, it's plain idiotic to buy a cheapo toys r us grinder
when a measly ten pounds of meat costs more.

I own two meat grinders, I upgraded to a larger one because a small
grinder ruins fattier meats like pork shoulder and chuck. A meat
grinder is a good investment, hardly a week passes I don't grind
something; bread crumbs, cracker meal, nutmeats, shreds cheese, preps
all kinds of veggies, especially does a great job with spuds 'n onions
for latkes... and makes meat loaf a breeze, no more knife work hacking
veggies... my least favorite chore is mincing a whole fistful of
parsley (for meat loaf, meat-a-balles, etc.), a meat grinder minces
parsley beautifully and faster than you can rinse it, stems and all...
why toss away the stems, you paid for them. Yoose need corn flake
crumbs, graham cracker crumbs, matzo meal, sody cracker meal, no
problem, in ten minutes you'll have more than you can use.. yoose
wanna bake carrot cake but don't feel like all that grating... grind
them to perfection. All yoose who like fish cakes, will grind any
fish in no time. I shouldn't even mention sau-seege... and no, you
don't need to stuff casings, mostly I make bulk sau-seege for patties.
For yoose who like breakfast sausage make up 5-10 pounds patties for
your freezer... for the first time in your life you'll know what/who's
in it... I can gaurantee there's roach/rodent and worse in your
sausage from your favorite breakfast joint that serves the cheapest
no-name crap.

Why is it that you're so seldom right? Ah, yes -- you're basically a
dolt, which explains the pointless insults.

Many of them, like the Maverick I own, also have a removable feedtube
and auger assembly housing that is very easily removed and cleaned. You
push a button, rotate counter-clockwise about 30 degrees, and it slides
right out.

The motor housing never comes in contact with the meat and never needs
to be cleaned.

I've never seen any grinder with a removeable feed tube, for safety
the feed tube is integrel to the body. Some have an optional tray
that sits atop the feed tube. Making the feed tube removeable from
the body would be stupid and dangerous because the feed tube should be
made long enough to prevent fingers from reaching the auger, which is
what makes most hand crank grinders so dangerous, the very short and
usually wide feed tube... when one isn't very coordinated they can and
have mangled their entire hand. The Maverick grinder is a Toys R Us
POS... much too tiny to produce a proper grind. I just looked again,
the Maverick meat grinder does NOT have a removeable feed tube, DOLT!

Good lord that's tiny!

No wonder some don't get it that I process 60lbs (some bone in) at a
shot.

I will agree someone with lesser needs might get away with that unit
though.

Not bad for the price. I got mine years ago and it's American made.
Newer ones aren't as much so.

Might be you have a better one, but this one works for us. Big enough
while not hogging too much storage space in the pantry.
