Interesting.
Run the meat with seasoning mixed through the Champion, then run the fat through separate then mix the two together in your stand mixer with ice water. The cold is absolutely key.
As far as the trouble to ice pack or freeze the grinder head,,,, I gave that up years ago, it’s to...
You guys suck the life out of my bank account.....🤣🤣
Bought LEM Stuffer, meat mixer...to go along with grinder...
And yet...no one answered the question I asked....lol
Howdy all you Mothers. Good time to buy if you are in need or want. I had the 20# electric stuffer in my cart a couple times this morning. Even made it to the credit card section of check out 1 time. lol. The #8 grinder and 10 inch slicer are on sale. The 30# stuffer wasn’t...
...That Grey gunk is kinda normal. It doesn’t happen every time you grind and sometimes it’s more that other times. Like I said, you have a LEMgrinder, this is great quality and the same as mine, but the meat temperature is what I’ve noticed as being the biggest factor. Otherwise just pick out...
So I think I decided on this. Probably get a 10mm plate while it ship free. Going to wait until fathers day in case of sale. Make me a good Birthday Gift:emoji_wink:
Yea, my LEMgrinder has a nylon bushing with a thrust washer all incorporated as one piece. And is replaceable, same for most grinders. I’m surprised that grinder doesn’t have that.
I've spent a fair amount of time perusing the forums over the past week, and have found the information here to be invaluable. I was trying to decide between purchasing the #8 LEM Big Bite and #8 Cabela's Carnivore meat grinders, when Academy made the decision for me with the current sale they...
Yes, it's super easy to reload a stuffer. I've got a 5# LEM stuffer and it works great. I only ever make batches less than 10 pounds, though. I used the Kitchenaid as my grinder for a long time and that works really well. You will eventually want a dedicated grinder, but it's not nearly as...
I bought my LEM #8 Big Bite grinder back at Thanksgiving on their Black Friday sale. I've always wanted a cuber, as some of us call them, for home use, but the Hobart 403 is $1500-$2500 USED! Not worth that kind of money for occasional use so I asked the forum for any experience with the LEM...
The LEM #12 is a beast!
The LEM ground meat packaging system is awesome!
Did ok stuffing from the grinder, but next time use the motorized stuffer.
Left some out for sausage gravy and biscuits tomorrow and vac sealed the rest.
I just stuffed a bunch of game bags with my LEM #12 grinder.
Worked ok, but next time the 5lb manual or the 20lb motorized stuffer depending on amount.
Don't give up yet....
Picked up 2 pork boneless butts at the commissary. About 16.75 pounds.
Time to break in the LEM #12 grinder.
Will package in game bags.
Get to try out the LEM tape machine as well.
Now, just need to settle on a recipe.
I have some AC Leggs seasoning I might try, or a "Jimmy Dean" clone recipe.
You can do that. LEM actually makes a horn that will only fit the grinder (not the stuffer) and it is like 2 1/4" in diameter and perfect for game bags.
Hi there and welcome!
I don't know if I have any vacseal meat last more than 2 years before it's eaten but I have no doubt it would be fine with my vac sealed results.
So like the others are reporting, you will seen no difference.
As for vac sealers I suggest getting a real one which will...
When LEM came out with the dual grinder head, I looked at them but decided against purchasing because they made one unit for both the #8 and #12 so basically, I would end up with the grinding capacity of a #8 grinder. Not what I wanted. Well after a ton of consumer feedback, looks like LEM...
