    Course grind hole size

    Thanks a ton. I was leaning toward 1/2", but I think I'm going to go with 3/8". I think between that and the 3/16" I have should cover both courser and finer ground meat depending on what I want. If I want stew meat, I'll cut it with a knife.

    Well I'm a little disappointed nobody could make a compelling argument, but there is one thing universal everywhere I've asked, and that is that everyone would rather use a stuffing press. It's quite uncommon that I go with the crowd for no clear reason, but this is going to be the exception. I...

    Best tool to stuff sausage

    Hi everyone, this is my first post here. I've asked this question on some other non-cooking related forums with horrible results. That brings me here, which this seems to be the best group I could find for working with meat. I'd like to begin with some background of myself. I'm not a chef, or...
