TIPS ON HOME MEAT GRINDING
With the increased availability of residential meat grinders from places like Cabela’s and Bass Pro comes the need to get the most out of these usefully pieces of equipment.
Here are eight tips for improving grinding.
1- Be sure to remove all the sliver-skin from the meat before grinding.
2- Make sure the meat is cut into small enough pieces to easily fit into the top of the grinder.
3- Start grinding by using large hole plate first, followed by smaller ones
4- Make sure the blade in the grinder is facing OUT towards the die plate (holes)
5- Periodically sharpen the grinder blade
6- Make sure the whole assembly of the grinder is good and snug. Too loose and the meat will not be cut, it’ll be smashed – too tight and the machine will struggle.
7- Make sure the meat is VERY cold when grinding. Placing it in the freezer for ten minutes or so will help achieve clean cuts when grinding.
8- Chill the grinder (head) before using. Put the assembly in the frig. or in an ice bath. (NOT THE MOTOR) This will help keep the meat cold and easier to cut.
