Size 22, large capacity

Stainless steel knife and 8 mm hole plate

Works without power, at the cabin or game larder

With the hand crank you set the pace yourself and keep full control of the grind, with no motor noise and no meat warming up from a machine working too fast. That gives cleaner cuts and better texture in everything from burgers and meatballs to sausage meat. The grinder weighs a solid 6.7 kg and stands firm while you work, and since it needs no electricity, it works just as well in the game larder and at the cabin as on the kitchen counter. Size 22 also means that standard size 22 hole plates and knives fit, whatever the brand.
Cold equipment gives the best result. Put the grinder's metal parts in the freezer for half an hour before grinding, and use meat that is almost frozen at the edges. The grinder then cuts clean pieces instead of mashing, the fat stays intact, and the mixture gets the professional texture that makes juicy sausages and burgers.
Features
- Rock solid construction: Tinned cast iron that takes hard use year after year, with stainless steel knife and hole plate.
- Full control: The hand crank lets you govern pace and texture yourself, without the meat warming up along the way.
- Standard size 22: Extra hole plates, knives and sausage funnels in size 22 fit straight on, whatever the manufacturer.
How to use
- Fit the knife and hole plate, and mount the grinder firmly on the bench before you start.
- Cut the meat into strips that fit the feed tube, and crank at a steady pace while feeding with the pusher.
- Take the grinder apart and hand wash all parts in hot soapy water after use, dry immediately and rub the metal parts lightly with food oil before storage.

FAQ Frequently asked questions
What does size no. 22 mean on a meat grinder?
Meat grinders follow a standardised size system, and no. 22 is one of the large working sizes with high capacity. The advantage is that all size 22 accessories, such as extra hole plates, knives and sausage funnels, fit the grinder regardless of which brand the accessory comes from.
How do I care for a tinned cast iron grinder?
Hand wash all parts in hot soapy water right after use, never in the dishwasher, since that damages the tinning. Dry the parts immediately and rub them with a thin layer of food oil before storage. The grinder will then stay in fine condition for generations.
Why choose a manual grinder over an electric one?
With a hand crank you control the pace yourself, the meat is not warmed up by a motor, and the grinder works everywhere, including the game larder and the cabin without power. It is also quiet and almost maintenance free. The price is a little arm power, but for many that is part of the joy.
