I bought this to process deer. Our family hunts alot and after having the grinder for two months (5 deer) we have no compliant. Definitely recommend for sausage making
Every time I bought hamburger in the grocery store or even the meat store there would be gristle. So when I saw the advertisement for the Cuisinart Electric Meat Grinder I decided this would solve my problem with gristle. Now I buy steak and use the grinder every week. Fantastic product and I do not know how I did without it all these years.
I'm very happy with the results we got from this machine! My 86 year old mom and 90 year old dad have been making sausage with a hand grinder for over 60 years! I've been helping them do it since I was a kid and used to watch and then got promoted to turning the crank handle. The job was hard and took a long time to feed the meat into the binder with one hand and turn the handle with the other. It was a constant stop and go. With this machine doing all the cranking, the steady flow of the process can be kept going till the meat runs out. We typically make 40lbs of sausage at one time and this machine worked well throughout. It also made stuffing the casings easier. The stainless steel pieces are easy to clean and the tools that come with the machine are useful and well thought out. The only thing that worries me about this product are the plastic gears. They worked really well for the first time using it but I wonder how they will hold up over time.
