10 mm Grinding Plate Wont Fit in Grinding head

[SmokinEdge]

I was thinking Salvinox.....my bad...

Salvinox is what I run as well.

Looks good from here, 2 things I learned early on was that ground meat doesn't store for long periods no matter how it's packed, I rarely stuff sausages these days other than summer, Italian and others get bulk stored and pattys formed and grilled/fried. I keep deer in large roast sizes and then grind as needed, steaks hold better also and can be ground. last thing I learned is it takes more time and I don't have enough hair to fight stuffing tubes ect

Inox plates will fit perfectly in the LEM grinders. Cabela's pates run a little larger so not sure if they will work or not. I have an LEM grinder....

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 branded grinder specs out between a LEM big bite #8 and a Lem big bite #12 , but also has 2 forward speeds plus reverse . DC motor runs cool too .
They're great grinders .

. But INOX seems to be a European designation for stainless steel.

I wasn't aware of that , good info . Like said I was searching the stamp on the plate . Seems to mean " Non- corrosive " because of the lack of certain metal compounds .

I just ordered the one from Amazon in post #10 . If you can wait a couple days , I'll let you know if it fits .

BrianGSDTexoma
Do you have a caliper to measure diameter and thickness relative to the other plates?

I gave it to a friend who works a machine shop. It is a little thicker which should be ok. He said he can match the diameter of the other one. If the one rich gets works i will just order that.

 

[chopsaw]

He should be able to fix you up . Even diameter from the center hole and you're good to go .
I figured for a couple bucks I'd just order this one . If it fits I'll used iot for beef chili grind .

. Not sure this is for me but i guess keep trying.

Just keep at it . Keep it fun ! Meaning scale down batches or don't always stuff . Build your way up to a comfortable work load . I do mine over 2 to 3 days . Sometimes I grab the grinder to just do a couple pounds of trim . Just depends , but I remember the big batch all in one day .

The stuffing gets easier as time goes . Keeps your natural casings stored wet . Makes a HUGE difference as does the quality of the casing .

Yeah I here you. I just doing 1kg batches. I think i might try the bigger tube next time? I got some Lem casings for next time but pretty sure its just me. Just got to figure it out. Next batch going to be boudin. Also ordered some rubber suction feet for stuffer.

I gonna figure out how to make a 10mm work! It just a matter of getting the right plate. time for a drink or two!

I called sky blue and the 10mm for the commercial grinders and they don't make one for this unit. Oh well.

got several plates on Amazon from Smokehouse Chef. All fit perfectly no problems. Know your measurments and compare to model and make on listing.

 

[chopsaw]

I think i might try the bigger tube next time?

My stuffer came with 3 , I use the middle one for 30 to 35 mm hog casings . I want it smaller than the finished sausage so it lifts off the tube as I crank .
Like this ,


BrianGSDTexoma I got that plate . Fits perfect .

The holes are right at the collar , but maybe that's how they are .
No slop though . Didn't run it , but it's not tight , not loose .

It's the one from the Amazon link , but if your buddy can adjust the one you have , try that first .

I would rather just get this. I sent message to just give everything back. Which one was it? I see a couple links. Thanks Rich!

I is a bit tight but it fits. Thanks again bud. I bought the other one on my gift card so did not get the refund but no big deal.

 

[chopsaw]

I is a bit tight but it fits.

All mine are like that . I have to take the head off and push them out with the auger . They go right in though . When I'm done grinding , I'll run it in reverse . That takes the pressure off the collar and the plate . Nice feature .
I know that's a new grinder , but check the shoulder where the plate goes in . Maybe there's a casting burr on it .

I also meant to tell you to check the plastic horns for your stuffer . Same can happen with those on the outside .

OK. Never thought about the reverse. I going to try the 1" tube next time I stuff if the casings go over it. Made some killer pork steaks yesterday with my Asian marinade.

killer pork steaks

Nice ! That's what's on the menu for today . I bought two , and hand cut 2 more from my sausage run last week . I've been using that Monroe county mop on pork . Works pretty good .

That's a nice center cut steak you have .

 

[chopsaw]

BrianGSDTexoma I think you're gonna like that plate . 9 pounds of beef chuck chili grind .
I was just gonna do a couple pounds course , and the rest through the 1/4" plate . Decided I'd do it all like that . I like it .

Have you cooked this yet? Was wondering about the texture. I went to store mainly for rice for my boudin and got home and no rice. Damn! I do have some Success Boil-in-Bag Rice, Basmati Rice. Maybe that will work. I actually got the 3 hole kidney plate to complete the set. Not sure what I use it for other than the shrimp for the boudin.

 

[chopsaw]

Have you cooked this yet?

Going to cook some up tonight .

 

[chopsaw]

wondering about the texture.

Perfect for this . This is for pasta , but change the spice and it would be great chili .
You can always break it down more as it cooks if you want .

Man that looks great. I have some of that course from the store and it was chewy was why I was asking. I will give it a go. Getting ready to haed to store for the rice I forgot last time. I have decided to just go with the original boudin recipe from 73saint to start with.

 

[chopsaw]

That will be a good recipe from him . Wise choice .

This was nice and tender . Fresh too . Still had 10 days on the sell by date .
Chuck pectoral . Sits on top of the brisket .
