Champion juicer for emulsifying. Wow!

Heck of a deal there Steve. Nice unit.
There is a bit of a learning curve with feeding the meat because the throat on these is a bit narrow. I make small meatballs or roll them out like smallish sausages that are smaller than the throat to feed well. If you do this ahead of time the process goes smoothly. The machine eats the meat with ease and really about as fast as you can feed it but dropping a handful of meat and pushing it with the stomper didn’t work well for me.

Congrats on new toy, Steve! Now - back in action! I am pretty sure you are eager to check it out....

Thank you! I'm hoping to try it this weekend.

Steve, think you got an excellent deal!

Thanks! I think I did as well.

Thanks! And thanks for the tip. If I can get some casings. I'll try something this weekend. Nothing really fancy though.

Congrats Steve H Around here $100 is typical but most are missing parts. Mine didn't have the blank plate. Ebay is a good resource for parts. IIRC the blank plate is like $40 plus ship new. I paid $15 shipped for a used plate.

+1. Seems like it works best with a gentle hand.

Hi guys. Just picked up a used champion juicer couple of days ago but it has no blank plate. Can it still be used without it? Am looking for a replacement but with shipping it's about what I paid for the machine in the first place.

To emulsify you have to use a blank plate or in some way block the opening.

Since I am cheap bastard I mcgyvered one out of some 2 inch pvc pipe I had standing in the corner and used heat gun to shape it. Looks like it will work. Hopefully I'll get some time this week to try it out making hot dogs for the grandkids. Fingers crossed.

Great that you are satisfied! I can understand that you feel that it is a lot of cleaning when you made only 1 kg.
I think that the cleaning is quick and easy.
I first rinse the parts in cold water to prevent that the meat "turns to sticky gum" to remove all visible residue. Then with a brush in luke warm soapy water, then rinse again.
5 min tops

Great tip on using cold water first. Thanks.

Got a call from the woman I got the juicer from.

She found the new cutter! Like she said. Brand new in the wrapper. I offered to pay for it. She said no thanks.

very nice!!

Just a tip for those buying old champion juicers. The cutter tends to be pretty nasty from mineral deposits from the fruits and vegetables.
I bought a champion nr. 2 off eBay. Soaking the cutter in soap water and bleach accomplished nothing, the stuff was like concrete
Before and after pictures after soaking in Vanish oxi for clothes for 24h.

We have like 5-6 containers of Dollar Tree oxy on hand at all times. Amazing stuff. The hotter the water the better. Cleans up smoker racks like new as well.
