Took delivery today. It's built like a tank! All SS. The suction cup base is solid as a rock! I couldn't budge it a millimeter once I attached it to the counter-top. It comes with a six-inch "cheater pipe" to get the suction cup lock-handle rotated over 180˚.When I first saw the suction cup base I thought no but saw it also comes with a screw down clamp.
Reviews seem good with all SS materials.
I'm no expert Dan, but from what I've been reading some people leave it on, but most say to remove as much as possible as it apparently gets caught around the cutting blade. Sinew, tendon etc should not be used in the grinder as again it gets wrapped around the cutting blade.Is silver skin an issue when grinding? Or does it just grind up along with the lean meat and fat?
That's true. When I grind up meat, I use a chuck cut, because it is a lot cheaper here. And it does have all that, and it does wrap around the blade. I assumed it was due to the lack of power or lack of SS compoments from my Kenwood.Sinew, tendon etc should not be used in the grinder as again it gets wrapped around the cutting blade.
