Anyone use one of these stuffing plates to dice meat into small chunks with??

I’m not a fan of dicing meat into small 1/2”x1/2” chunks with a knife so I’m hoping this will get it done for me. Need to get a couple of pork butts first. Really been enjoying tacos from pork steaks lately. But cost me 4$ a pound last time. I can get whole boneless butts for 2$ a pound. Got a brisket today. 19 pounder and will be making pepperoni soon and wanna use one of the pork butts for diced meat for mostly tacos. Or whatever else I find on the web to try and make with it.

Not sure if that will actually cut/dice the meat. But I could be wrong

Yup it will work fine. I have a couple different sausages I make with 1/2-1” cubed meat and to save time I have used the kidney plate. Only down side is you will get around 1/2” one way and about 3/8” the other just because of the speed of the knife rotation. Otherwise it works good.

Btw, that’s also how my dual grind head works. The meat first goes through a kidney plate then across the knife and through the second plate. Basically two grinds in one pass.

I never thought of using the kidney plate with the knife for chunky cuts. Thanks!
