Home meat grinding

[Blackbeard]

I'm looking to make some delicious burgers, and I've been looking at some home meat grinding.

I have a Kitchen Aid, but as looking at getting this grinder, https://amzn.to/2USs4Xy
It's only $29 - and seems kind of cheap...but then again, it's probably made in China. (it's plastic)

I've also seen a metal one that is much more expensive, $80 https://amzn.to/2OmIXXS

A guy I used to work with had a saying. " Buy nice or buy twice"

Buy once, Cry once. At a minimum, you will want 1/3 horsepower, steel auger-blades-discs. Discs of varying size as well. Of course, cost increases as the HP does. Don't cheap out.

The Kitchenaid add on works well, but its not as good as a dedicated grinder

Of the two I'd recommend you go with the Kitchenaid grinder. I've had one for about 10 years that I use on our 6 qt. mixer and it works great, I use it for making sausage.

For as little as we do, it's perfect

So do you use the plastic one or the metal one?

 

[Bender]

I think the one we have is metal. I would have to ask the wife, we've had it five or six years

The one I have is metal.
