Home Meat Grinders

Aaron,

I have burned out several of the smaller Rival "Grind-O-Matic" kitchen grinders over the decades, but have had good service with them. Since I pick them up at yard sales and garage sales for $5-$10 for the whole set with the stuffer and sometimes the salad chopping/grating sets too, its hard for me to justify the expense of a bigger grinder.

I have had no trouble with them for a deer...usually I manage to kill them by getting impatient with an elk on the table. they ARE slower than a larger and more powerful unit. They also do NOT have a 100% duty cycle. Grinding the meat when its ALMOST frozen seems to help the silverskin/sinew problems as does touching up the grinding disc with a flat stone before one starts.

Yeah I can be cheap...but it works!
