STX Megaforce 3000 Powerful Air Cooled 5-In-1 Heavy Duty Electric Meat Grinder with Foot Pedal • Sausage Stuffer • Kubbe Maker • Burger/Slider Maker • 2 Meat Claws • 3 S/S Blades • 4 Grinding Plates

I would have given it 5 stars if I had used it more than once, but I have only used this for 4 hours of grinding. In Georgia, I harvested a couple of small deer and found that they had a lot of silvery skin and connective tissue all over their bodies. The first grind pile was trimmed down to the very last bit of venison, and virtually nothing else was left. I began the second grind pile after trimming off the most egregious bits of "gunk". I left some of the thinner silver skin strips on the first pile, but kept a few slender ones on the second. In order to find out just how the grinder handled that, I put it to the test. The first pile - that is, the first pile of coins - fell in the expected way. This weight loss took place fairly quickly, about 30 lbs. In the wagon wheel die, I first ran it through, then ran a few pounds of pork fat through and mixed them all together. Put it through the die a second time with the larger diameter hole. I was happy with the results. After running for a few minutes on the low speed setting, the second run took about 12 It took a little longer to do the second run at low speed, perhaps 15 minutes Take twenty A motor that is free of clogging and I am extremely pleased with the result. Using the second batch of machines with a few bits of imperfection, the entire process was extremely The next run took about the same amount of time, but after the first run, I had to remove some trapped bits of sinew and silver skin trapped inside the die from behind. Clean up and reassemble for a second run is easy. As the worm gear was still clean after the second pass, I added some bacon to the mix and ran it through the smallest die a third time. There was no difficulty in disassembling and cleaning the unit. It is explicitly mentioned throughout the documentation to make sure that your parts are CLEAN and DRY after cleaning and after drying. After sitting overnight, there is some discoloration on the dies as a result of being lazy on the drying part. It would be better to apply a light coat of vegetable oil after the dies are dried. Although I could easily give this 5 stars, who knows what the future holds? He might be lost to us in a As of now, it is an excellent machine that does the job I bought it for. Minced meat that is delicious, consistent, and clean in no time at all.

We have made hamburger and sausage meats with it. Taking it apart and putting it back together is no problem for me, and I wash all the parts in hot soapy water to make them look like new. It's a good idea to wipe off the blades quickly after washing them, as water will quickly rust them. If you are not going to use them again for a while, rub a tiny bit of cooking oil on them so they remain rust-free. I never have to worry about this machine bogging I can't cut up the meat fast enough because it goes so fast. My cutting board and top feeder are full, and the very last thing I put into it is a piece of bread to make sure that all of the meat is out of the blades before I take it apart and wash it. On one occasion, I used the fine grind and it caused the meat to turn to There's something about a medium grind that I like. Although it's loud, it goes by so fast that you only have to keep it on for a couple of It took us less than ten minutes to make 13 pounds of sausage. All the meat was holding into one bowl, so I ran out. Parts are kept in the little free bags that are given out by banks and so forth. In my cellar, I keep the machine until I need it again. It's not a heavy machine, and I store it until I need it. The price of a pound is $50. It is crucial that you leave the fat in your burger to give it moisture and flavor, so don't remove it and throw it away. Put it to good use.

Garbage in its purest form. The blades that were attached to it did not work. The blade from our old grinder allowed it to do a little bit of grinding at a time, but we had to stop frequently for cleaning. We saw some success with grinding through large and then medium plates (the sizes we desired). There were no bones in this chicken. I shudder to think what would have happened to beef or venison if it had been used. It lasted eight years before i replaced it with a new one. As a result, we'll have to clean it up, repack it, and send it back.

For many years, my parents used their older electric grinder to grind venison, but it would jam up with sinew constantly, so I decided to do some research and purchase This property regularly appears in top reviews on third party sites for a For only $150 this is a real deal for the enthusiast who wants to grind their own meat at home. If you check out the prices at other outdoor sporting goods stores you will have your jaw on the floor. The little guy handled my 40 lbs of venison grind with ease and I was able to blend the pork butt and venison to make a good sausage for my supper. It's easy to assemble and disassemble, as well as to clean up. now, the durability is the only area from which further testing is needed. It is already a 5 star after year one, and I hope it continues to be great even in years to come!.

A meat grinder I owned from this manufacturer was used bimonthly to grind whole chicken quarters (bone, skin, tendons, meat and all) and chicken organs for almost ten years before it finally started deteriorating, so it was time for a replacement. Due to the positive experience I had with my old brand, I chose the same one again. While I knew from the start that this machine should not be used on bones, I had hoped it could at least repair This is an enormous error. There is no way this grinder can grind anything other than boneless, skinless chicken breast. It cannot A few seconds later, it just clogs the mechanism. Furthermore, it was unable to deal with gizzards to the extent that the motor stopped working altogether. In 2 months I used this machine hoping it would improve after the apparently bogus "break in period", and now I cannot return it so I am stuck with this horrible machine. I just spent almost 200 dollars to mash up a boneless skinless chicken breast. How can you be so naive? Because of the pandemic, I cannot even afford to get a new computer, so I'm frustrated to the point of tears trying to use this thing. It should have been my fault for not reading the reviews before I purchased. Take advantage of this great opportunity to save Buying anything else is a good idea.
