Hi All Just finished stuffing 3 lbs of Bratwurst= 2 lbs Pork shoulder/1 lb Veal cubes and LEM seasoning pack.
Let me start for by saying it was a MAJOR "PIA" stuffing thru the largest grinding plate 5/16, for some unknown reason the grinder as you all know didn't come with a spacer/kidney plate.
I had to use a lot of arm strength getting the meat stumper in and out of the hole where the meat goes into the grinder. When I had to clean up the grinder, the plate was really suffed tight,no wonder why I had to put soooo much pressure on the meat stumper. Half way thru the process my wife said "we need a stuffer". I still have 5 lbs of Italian sausage to stuff after dinner. We both need a break!!!!.This time I'm cutting the use less Kubbe attachment and use that as a spacer, should make stuffing much easier. If not then onto a stuffer.
The Italian sweet sausage seasoning was to my wife's liking, she wasn't to happy with the Brat seasoning, to salty, we both DON"T use salt in our cooking.
To be continued.........
