I had a kitchen aid mixer start smoking on me one time using that grinder attachment. No bueno.
Mine got pretty warm and was thinking that my wife would kill me if I burned it up since it was a gift and they're like $300.

If you are going to use the grinder to stuff casings, get the foot pedal. If all you do is grind it is completely unnecessary.How does it handle silver skin. I only asked about the foot switch because I haven’t used one but wondered if they were worth it.
I only add fat if I know what I will be using the meat for in the future. Otherwise I add fat if need when I go to make something. If I'm making hamburgers I add beef fat so I can feel good about cooking them medium rare. I usually smoke a few cases of brisket every year so I save my trimmings from them to add to my burgers. For sausages I normally add pork fat from a local butcher shop.I’m tired of paying the local processor and am wanting to start grinding my on meat. Are y’all adding fat and if so what kind/where do you get it? Thanks

I got tired of running everything through twice. Went and got a quarter inch plate and have been happy with the results. Meat needs to be very cold to keep the fat from smearing. Helps to put ice packs on the head too.I have the next smaller size, and for the most part it acts like it isn't there. You may get some strands built up that you notice when you switch (if you switch) from coarse to fine grind. The worst part about the LEM Big Bite machines is that you get so spoiled with the speed of the first coarse pass, the fine pass through the grinder feels like it takes forever.
I would strongly recommend putting the thought on hold until you can get a 3/4hp model with all metal parts. I've used hand grinders and cheap electric ones and if my house caught fire tomorrow I would either afford the one I have now or just cut everything into roasts and steaks.Alright trying to figure out what meat grinder to buy for Christmas. I want to process my own deer. I usually kill about 3-4 deer per season. What would y’all recommend for let’s say under $190. There are so many with so many mixed reviews that it’s confusing.
No clue. I don't own a dishwasher. I can't see why not. But I generally hand wash, let them sit in a light bleach mixture for a few minutes, rinse, dry, and oil.So, my question is: Can you put the stainless steel parts into the dishwasher?

I'm running an stx megaforce 3000, it was less than 190$. I just looked on amazon and for some reason I can only find the 'turboforce' not the mega force. . . Not sure what the difference is, but I like mine a lot.Alright trying to figure out what meat grinder to buy for Christmas. I want to process my own deer. I usually kill about 3-4 deer per season.

How much do y'all grind vs treat otherwise? And out of what you grind, how much would go to sausage.Alright trying to figure out what meat grinder to buy for Christmas. I want to process my own deer.
