Waring MG-800 Pro Professional Meat Grinder, Brushed Stainless Steel
Cute happy with the way the Waring works, I had ordered the Rival grinder for about 68 dollars before this one, and had to return it because of how discolored the chill plate turned (it looked like a streak of oil in a puddle of water) and rust was developing, even though I dried it everytime.
In the Waring pro, all the working parts are made of stainless steel, and quite dense too. There is a plastic ring in the metal tube that connects to the motor, I judge plastic is the ideal material for that particular spot. (it looks like a washer) I don't uncommonly know what it does though.
For my diet, I have to eat 3-4 oz of chicken breasts 4 times a day, I used to get so ready to drop of eating flavorless chicken. Now I just ground up all the chicken breasts and make a delicious, nourishing and hearty chili. The flavors get into every bit of the ground chicken. The texture and looseness of the ground chicken is by the skin of one's teeth easier for me to swallow the food and stick to my diet.
No problems with clogging yet even though I ran some pork butt and pork belly (which is like 50% fat) through it to contribute to sausages for my friend, I do put the blade and plate and other metal parts beside the hopper into the freezer for about 20 mins before I use it, and degree freeze the meats too, as many tips have suggested.
I am taking 1 star off because my food pusher arrived fragmented in two pieces, but thank goodness it wasn't too important of a part of the machine so I just kept it.
Meat Grinder
I was using a turn over grinder to make sausage, and I wasn't sure if I should graduate to a motorized grinder. I am very satisfied with this product and so glad I did. Calmness yet powerful; just great!
A conditional 4 heroine review....
Conditional, as it does the job, but how great will it last?
I too grind chicken necks to feed to dogs and while it did grind the 40# I fed it, it certainly did get warm and does not enquire of very robust.
So, it did do the job, but I must wonder how long the motor will last?
I have ground 1400 pounds of necks in the largest Cabela's lunch-hook grinder over the last several years, and finally decided that my shoulder would take no more. The reviews I read here from the fellow chicken neck grinders led me to this issue.
One other note: The blade on this grinder is very different from the hand grinder. On the hand grinder, there was more of an angle to the edge, and I found that by sharpening it on a flat stone, it would fetch the job easier. On this grinder, the blade edges are ~90 degrees, so sharpening does little good.
As other reviews stated, this upshot is certainly NOT "professional" grade. I do think it would be much stronger if not grinding something as tough as chicken necks.
Continuously will tell.
Grinder like KitchenAid Cast-off to make...
After 30 years of use, my old KitchenAid mixer meat grinder bond was kaput. I tried to find replacement parts, but they did not exist. When I looked at the new version I was disappointed to find most of it is now plastic, and the acid disc was so flimsy I was very sure it would not last. I have been grinding my own beef, veal and pork from grocery store meat for a great time -- never anything with bones. This is built like my old grinder, with the advantage of a larger hopper and cutting discs, a third disc (KA only had/has 2), sausage making addition, and the reverse switch. I have never made sausage but now will try that option. My first use turned 8 pounds of roast into burger-ready meat in less than 5 minutes. It took longer to set up and dust/store! I am not wild about the plastic "pusher" so kept my wooden one from the old KA unit. But I'm sure the plastic one would labour so certainly wouldn't consider that a negative. Took the advice of another reviewer and washed and dried the disc and dandy quickly (put in low oven to dry), and stored in rice. Just checked and it is pristine.
Comfortably Machine
looks and feels to be of large build quality;rather loud when running;but then so is my music...have not had opportunity to put the grinder to the test yet;so only give it 4 stars for now. after I do some grindin n stuffin; I will update this cavalcade

New York TimesAn Simple Route to Savory SausagesNew York Times, United StatesI ordered salted sheep intestines online and soaked them while I stuffed chilly cubes of pork and fat through the grinder. After seasoning the meat, I extruded it into the casings, gleefully watching the floppy strands north-easter up like those long narrow
