TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

HELPFUL HINTS

For best results, grind meat that is very cold
or partially frozen. The grinder parts can
be pre-chilled in the refrigerator or freezer
before use to maintain a cold grinding
temperature.
For more tender results, some meats can be
ground twice. However, fatty meats should be
ground only once.
To grind bread for crumbs, be sure that bread
is either oven-dried thoroughly to remove all
moisture, or not dried at all. Partially dried
bread may jam the Metal Food Grinder
attachment.

NOTE: Very hard, dense foods such as
completely dried homemade bread should
not be ground in the Metal Food Grinder
attachment. Homemade bread should be
ground fresh and then oven- or air-dried.
If using natural casings, it is recommended to
first soak them in cold water for 30 minutes
to remove excess salt, then rinse several
times by running cold water through the
entire length of the casing. For best results
for sausage, refer also to the instructions that
came with the casings.
Use the cleaning brush to clean the main housing and
other accessories, including the grinding plates.
The following parts are dishwasher-safe, top rack only:
sausage stuffer plate, sausage stuffer tubes, cleaning
brush, and food pusher.
The following parts should be hand-washed only,
using warm, soapy water and drying thoroughly:
main housing, grind screw, collar, tray, grinding
plates, and blade.
