I just had a thought come to mind while awaiting the delivery of my new (to me at least) meat grinder.
Is it worth having every available size of plate?
If not which sizes are worth having?
Obviously it will depend on what exactly you are making, but assuming someone planned to make a bit of everything are there any sizes that are redundant? I'm thinking for example if it's worth having both a 3/4" plate and a kidney plate, or both a 3/8" plate and a 1/2" plate. I assume 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, and 3/8" are all necessary as the difference would be much more noticeable in the smaller sizes.
Between the plates and a knife for each one it adds up pretty fast buying every size.
