Meat Grinder recommendations

[LMichaels]

If you already have a food processor that will work for doggie food.
Just pulse till you get the right texture.

More than dog food I use my processor when I make Bolognese. I make my pestada in it, I grind my beef and my veal in it as well. Sometimes I use mushrooms to sub for the other meats I cannot put in there because of my wife. It works great!

got this for $35 on an Amazon Lightening deal in 2020. it does go on sale frequently from past experience. it works very well. hand wash only. freeze for 30 minutes before use to keep a cold working environment. and 1/8 turn back off the locking nut ring that keeps the cutting plate in place to avoid over pressure on the plate and potential for metal shavings in your food. let your protein provide the pressure to the plate and nut.

It’ll do 10# beef easily, double grind.

Really? It doesn't start getting the grind chamber hot to where the beef fat starts to melt and get a little "gooey"?

My meat is partially frozen and I freeze the metal grinder and parts for an hour prior to using. No smearing.

But if you use it warm and your meat isn’t cold, you’ll have smearing.

I do the same with my old Hobart grinder but it's pretty much useless pretty quickly
