Thread: Homesteading / Sustainable Living

Dieseld, the jury is out on performance. The KA attachment worked better than the hand-cranked grinder I have used in the past but didn't even approach what I've seen a Weston meat grinder do.

I've got a good hand crank grinder with a couple different plates for different grinds.
Was just wondering if this was worth getting for small batches like you did.

My grinder is bigger than your grinder.

I wish I had a mixing bowl for it. Maybe one of these days....

^^^^^
Yep, I need one of those!

I seem to recall your grinder came out of a restaurant, right?

My brother used to work for a company that repaired commercial equipment. They took it in on trade and couldn't resell it because the throat is to large. Some kid crawled up on a counter and put their arm in one.

Modern regulations try to control natural selection.

I need to remember before it is grinding time to make a proper plunger like I see in your picture.

I have been using just a wood dowel that in my picture is on the top if you look close. It surely doesn't hurt the grinder if I make a mistake but I loose a quarter pound of meat best case scenario, or more if I am asleep at the switch.

I've been foraging for wild edibles, which I think falls under homesteading activities. One Morel mushroom this afternoon.
