    still deciding on if its worth it. Sausage patties

    I went through two lem grinders, plastic gears, won’t buy again. $99 grinder, haven’t had an issue

    Pfefferbeisser/Pepper Stix

    Looks great but not brave enough to step up to sausage making Rick. But did find a hand grinder a couple of weeks ago that my BIL brought home from somewhere 😀. Gotta start making some burger meat soon! Keith

    still deciding on if its worth it. Sausage patties

    In regards to the Lem getting hot. I am pondering. How many actual grinder OEM manufactures are there that the known brands use. Case in point one of the smaller Cabela's grinders has a big bite auger. Some of meat grinders have dual grind like lem

    STX Turboforce II #12 grinder

    I figured it was time to move on from my Kitchenaid grinder attachment and get a real grinder. I was about to jump on a LEM #8 but this one kept catching my eye. The STX Turboforce II came with 3 blades and 6 cutting disks. The biggest complaint I see is not getting enough cutting disks. It...

    10 mm Grinding Plate Wont Fit in Grinding head

    I just used my phone camera to match up a like stamp . Whatever Cabelas means . Just depends on who makes it . Mine is either a Kitchener or a Weston I think . They don't give up that info . All you can really do is match it up for looks / features and " assume " . The #12 Pro series Cabela...

    Metal in grind?

    I have some grey stuff coming out of my grinder. It's always toward the end of a 6-8 pound grind. My grinder is magnetic, I can stick a magnet on it, the shavings do not seem to be magnetic, but they could be to small to stick. I'm worried it's metal shavings maybe? The plate has some...

    Walton's Grinders #22/#32?

    Mine got removed... only my wife and I run it... not that dumb to stick my hand in it! Plus as you say it's deep. If you don't have one already I would recommend a foot pedal... used my grinder once, then ordered the foot pedal. Think mine was $50 when I bought it. Otherwise I think it was...

    still deciding on if its worth it. Sausage patties

    Wow, you're right! Their cheaper grinders use plastic gears! That's crazy! Fortunately, it does seem that the big-bite grinders don't use plastic gears. Still, it's odd to me to see any plastic gears in any grinder, even in their lower-end models...

    usable cuts for burger grinding

    My Weston has a lot more room between the auger and the veins than that. I am going to regrind the 36 burgers I made last week through the 4.55 plate this weekend. Will do with mostly frozen meat, I loved, loved the taste of the burgers but did not like the 8mm grind. If that does not go...

    homemade hamburger meat?

    Can't say it any better than they did above... Although I have a LEM Big Bite #8 grinder for big jobs, I love my Kitchenaide meat grinder for little jobs. (You have to love a household appliance with a PTO!) Ham & Turkey Salad give it the biggest workout. Breakfast sausage next... Burger...

    Lem Jerky Maker Attachment!?

    So I received an email about 30% off LEM items which seemed interesting as they don't really ever do what I would call a "good" discount, so I clicked and checked and saw this new funny thing while poking around! It's a burger patty, jerky, snack stick attachment!!! It can work directly with...

    10 mm Grinding Plate Wont Fit in Grinding head

    Not disagreeing with you @indaswamp but I don't think INOX is any indication of size or fitment. I have very little experience with grinders. Only been using one for a couple of months. But INOX seems to be a European designation for stainless steel. I've seen lots of knives, guns, and tools...

    waking up the kitchenaid mixer thread

    ...When I use the mixer, the dough is over worked and the pizza turns out too dense. I used the grinder once and sent it back and bought a Lem grinder, and Lem slicer. The KA grinder worked ok, it was just slow. I should prob sell the mixer, and use the money to help finance a vintage Fender...

    LEM dual grind adapter

    The new set up is the smartest way forward. All I can say is that the dual grind, however you have it , is a real nice tool to have. Plus , LEM is quality equipment, can’t really go wrong. I have both heads and run the dual grind almost exclusively.

    Metal in grind?

    do you put any of the parts in the dishwasher? The PH will tarnish the blades and plates and that tarnish rubs off gray.

    Pork butt question for the sausage makers?

    I'm new to grinding myself. Started out with the KA grinder and after a few times got a LEM #8 a few months ago. BIG difference. I can't feed that thing fast enough. Good luck with which ever grinder you decide on. I don't think you will regret it. Grinding my own beef has been worth it alone...

    still deciding on if its worth it. Sausage patties

    A ton of folks here run LEM grinders without issue, so I would discount the bad reviews elsewhere.

    Is there a trick to snack sticks?

    I usually add my ECA and more water right before stuffing. By the time I mix in the ECA (by hand of course), it's fairly loose. I've stuffed in a 13mm horn this way with no issues (manual stuffer). I normally stuff with a 5lb stuffer (the good ole' Kitchener I've had for 20 years or more)...

    Problem grinding beef today

    Hoping some of you guys with experience can help me understand what went wrong here. I have a LEM #8 that I got back around Christmas. I've used it with many pork butts, brisket, and top round with no issues at all. Cube it, chill it in the freezer mixing around occasionally, feed it to the...

    Need New Grinder

    I just bought a VEVOR #32 at a good price under $500. It's twice as big as my last one. I actually thought i was getting the 12 but I guess I puched the wrong button when ordering so I'll keep it.
