Need a larger push stick/plunger for #12 Electric Grinder to prevent blow back
Can anybody recommend a good push stick for a #12 Meat Grinder. I currently own the Kitchener #12 Meat Grinder and when pushing already ground meat down the neck, the meat blows past the plunger because the diameter is not wide enough and makes it difficult. Looking to see if anybody knows of...- meatsweats86

Work sharp knife sharpener
Maybe my problem was I was only getting a burr on the coarse belt. I count the passes on the coarse belt until I get a burr, then do the same number of strokes for the other side. I then switch belts and do 10-12 alternating passes on each belt thereafter. I've been doing this at 20° and it's...- meatsweats86

Work sharp knife sharpener
I bought the Work Sharp Ken Onion edition with the standard belts that come with it and I cannot seem to get a razor edge on any knife that can cut through paper with ease. I've watched multiple videos, tried multiple angles, used multiple knives and still cannot get a "razor" edge. Any...- meatsweats86

40 day dry aged boneless ribeye with a fridge, fan and sensor push...nothing fancy.
The side caps had about 1/4" hard crust and bottom and top had about 1/8" crust that I removed. I have the sensor in the fridge to make sure it doesn't go above 40°. I am gone most weekends and want to know if my power goes out and fridge goes above temp causing the meat to spoil....Cheap...- meatsweats86

40 day dry aged boneless ribeye with a fridge, fan and sensor push...nothing fancy.
I've been wanting to try dry aged meat, but couldn't bring myself to pay the prices in restaurant or supermarket. I needed more fridge room anyways so I picked up an almost new full size fridge on craigslist for $150. I bought the sensor push to monitor my temps and a battery operated fan to get...- meatsweats86

Ultimate smash burger tool for griddle ! ! !
You don't want the tool to be hot or it might stick to the burger. I use parchment paper under my tool. Once you smash it, the top will start to turn brown and greasy. As this point scrape the bottom with a metal spatula so you get the crust of the meat and flip it over. The burger is fully...- meatsweats86

Ultimate smash burger tool for griddle ! ! !
Chef Jimmy, I started off using using a cast iron pan, the bottom of a small soup pot with parchment paper to smash the burger, a metal spatula with sharp edge and 8/20 beef. I use 2.5oz patties and get them as thin as I can. Make sure the pan is HOT and you press down hard when scraping the...- meatsweats86

Ultimate smash burger tool for griddle ! ! !
Tortilla press would no doubt give you a flat burger, but the point of the smash burger is to throw a ball of meat on the hot griddle and then smash it down so it forms a nice crust. Placing an already flat burger will still be tasty, but i don't think you will get the desired crust.- meatsweats86

Ultimate smash burger tool for griddle ! ! !
I'd be interested depending on the price. The only issue is everybody probably has a different thought on the diameter and height of the side wall. I found this press on ebay thinking I could use it for a smasher. It's only 3.75" diameter and about 3/8" deep. If it was about a 1" larger...- meatsweats86

Ultimate smash burger tool for griddle ! ! !
Glad to hear my research of burger tools has come in useful! Right now I use the rectangular lodge bacon press with parchment paper under neath. I do 2-3 oz patties and it works out pretty well. I am always searching for something better! I did find one more tool for around $45 with shipping...- meatsweats86

Ultimate smash burger tool for griddle ! ! !
I was bored at work and did some research. Turns out Smashburger has a patent on their smashing tool. Basically anything with a handle and sides on it to form the meat or smash it to a certain thickness is covered under their patent. Williams Sonoma used to sell a cast iron Smash N Sear tool...- meatsweats86

Do you recall what the name of it was to look it up online? Also, is the bottom smooth or does it have ridges?- meatsweats86
