electric mincer/grinder for meat
 
hi, could you please recommend some kind of inexpensive electric
mincer/grinder to mince up meat for hamburghers etc. we dont want to use a
blender since it will turn it more into a paste. thanks for advice.

Use a food processor. About 10 1 second pulses works well for chopped beef.

You can't produce ground meat with a food processor... then he may as
well use his blender.

Cabela's has some very nice grinders. If I knew what quantity of meat
you're looking to grind and what your concept of inexpensive is then I
could more easily suggest a model.

If I were to choose one now it would be the 1 horsepower model (I think
the reverse capability is important).

I second the motion! Cabelas is where I got mine last month. Not sure of
the model, it was the one on special for the Black Friday sale, and it
does have the reverse option... but I've no idea what I'd use that for?

Sheldon?

A food processor does a surprisingly good job make ground beef -- for
very small quantities. You have to just pulse it a couple of times.

I bought a rather large consumer-grade electric #12 meat grinder from
northerntool.com a few years ago for about $100. It does a great job,
and you don't have to cut the meat into nearly as small strips as you
would for a #8 grinder. Cabela's has a grinder for about $100 that
looks just like it in the catalog (but I don't know if it's a #12 or a
#8), and I think it's on sale right now for about $69.

Best regards,
Bob

It works well for me. Just take care to stop before it's too late.
