I'm like that too. If someone expresses interest in something of mine, I'm
liable to just give it to them. Most times I'm happy to do it but sometimes
I regret it later - but only for a little while. :)

Aye but sometimes they have to be replaced ... like my rice cooker:)))

The ones I've had were Italian made units of modest price. Those were fairly
popular in the US. I suppose they're made in China these days.

Ok I found the pic I posted here. You can just see the top of the hand
roller

I had it for years till it was errr moved down to England by the afore
mentioned Gdaughter!

I don't think it was expensive. It was a lot easier to use than the
electric one.

Oh my goodness! They are still selling it:)) I don't think I paid all that
for it though:))

It is subtle. I just can't see grinding a strip, filet or ribeye, especially on Gary's budget. I do cut up strip into meat for carne asada, but that's the strip portion from "Product of Mexico" t-bones that I buy for $4.99/# when they are on sale, so they're as cheap as I could get tougher cuts.

I mostly make my own... fresh sausage is easy, I make it into
patties.... I don't bother making hotdogs, I don't eat much tube
steak.
If some people enjoy eating shitburgers that's all that matters.

Adding ice doesn't give a cleaner grind, what gives a cleaner grind is
to chill the meat in the fridge but mostly use a properly sized
grinder... those tiny toys r us grinders smear the meat.

>Now that you mention it, I think they added a bit of crushed ice as
>well!

I place my grinder head and bowl into the freezer about a half hour
prior to grinding. I don't partially freeze the meat, I see no point,
just drives out the moisture. I just make sure it's cold from the
fridge. Some saw-seege recipes benefit from mixing in some crushed
ice but not burgers... However for saw-seege that benefits from adding
extra moisture rather then plain ice I'll add ice cold wine/beer.

In Yiddish schmeer would be to bribe/grease one's palm, or creamcheese

That's a pretty sleek model although the housing is different from the link to the new model. I might have to buy another pasta machine. Oh no! Not again!

Concerning your link, you can strip out all the metadata after the question mark. The metadata is information generated about the link by the search engine used. I'm not sure what's in there but I assume there's time and date in there and information about the machine and the search terms used and God know what else. You're probably better off not including all that garbage.

Got a delicious quart out of it. 5oz beef plus beef broth and
extra amount of vegetables, listed above.

Got almost 4 pints of good stuff and no effort once it all got
thrown into the crockpot. It worked for me. :) I was just
playing around with that 11oz strip. I normally will cook a
larger batch.

You're not supposed to use a tiny holed plate, builds too much
pressure... for grinding beef use a plate with 1/4" holes. And if the
grinder body is too small it won't grind meat properly either, it also
builds too much pressure, it will smear. No one should waste their
money on those toys r us sized grinders... anyone has that mini
plastic attachment for the KA stand mixer toss it in the trash NOW,
and buy a real grinder... a #12.

Six ounces of beef stew wouldn't feed a mini dog. Would (maybe)
have made more sense to add that extra beef to a large can of Dinty
Moore.... save a lot of time. I'd have browned it, julienned it, and
in the same pot cooked a packet of ramen... at the end take the ramen
off the heat add the julienned beef.

!/4" holes are the size butcher shops use... those tiny grinders use
1/8" plate holes and some use a plate with 3/16" holes, both much too
small. I use a plate with 1/4" holes and sometimes 5/16" holes.. If I
want a finer grind I send it through a second time. For chili I use a
plate with 3/8" holes. However it's also important to have a grinder
with a large body, a #12 minimum.
I've been grinding meat all my life, I never buy pre ground mystery
meat nor would I ever use one of those tiny toys r us grinders.
And no knife leaves meat cells intact... even the best surgeons doing
microsurgery cut through muscle cells. However a grinder cuts into
the same muscle cell but once, a food processor cuts into the same
muscle cell infinite times, no one can know how many times... one
would do much better with a round wooden bowl and a curved chopping
knife. For a handfull of ground meat Chinese cooks use a Chinese
knife on a wooden board, takes 15 seconds to chop that much meat but
all pretty much evenly. Really don't need a machine for a 1/2 pound
of meat, a chefs knife can do the deed in about one minute.
