Tre Spade Meat Mixer "MiniMix" (Manual)
Kneading cold meat mince by hand is cold, tiring, and inconsistent. Tre Spade MiniMix solves the problem. This compact, manual meat mixer is designed to give you professional binding in the meat without your body heat melting the fat (which ruins sausage quality). With a capacity of 8 kg, it fits perfectly for the hunter or hobby chef who wants full control over ingredients in sausages, patties, and burgers.

Why use a meat mixer? To make good sausages, the meat must be kneaded until it becomes sticky (myosin extraction). Doing this by hand melts the fat and makes dry sausages. The machine does the job quickly while the meat stays cold!
Features
- ✔ Efficient mixing: The specially designed stainless steel paddles turn the meat thoroughly for optimal blending of spices and liquids.
- ✔ Lexan lid: The transparent lid allows you to monitor the process while preventing spills and splashes on the counter.
- ✔ Robust construction: The tank is made of AISI 304 stainless steel, while the housing is painted steel for maximum stability.
- ✔ Removable: The mixing arm can easily be removed for thorough cleaning after use.

FAQ
Can I wash it in the dishwasher?
The stainless tank and mixing arm can technically be machine washed, but the red housing (gearbox) cannot handle it. We recommend hand washing all parts to preserve plastic bushings and paint for as long as possible.
What is the minimum amount of meat needed?
For the paddles to grip well, you should have at least 1-2 kg of meat. If you have very small amounts, a kitchen stand mixer is often easier. This is ideal for batches from 3 kg up to 8 kg.
Is it hard to crank?
There is resistance, especially when the mix starts to bind (become sticky), but the crank ratio makes it manageable for most people. It is much easier than kneading by hand!
