Rubber protectors that spare the counter
|
Stainless steel makes the grinder as easy to care for as it is handsome: no oiling, no rust, just a quick wash after use. The rubber protectors at top and bottom keep the grinder steady while you work and spare the counter top. With the hand crank you set the pace yourself, the meat never warms up, and you know exactly what goes into your mince. At just 2.4 kg and a small footprint, it is always ready when appetite strikes.
Grind the meat just before use and hold the salt until the burgers are shaped. Salt the mixture too early and the proteins start binding, making the burger dense and chewy instead of loose and juicy. Freshly ground meat, salt at the end and a good sprinkle of coarse pepper, that is all it takes.
Features
- Easy-care quality: Entirely stainless steel, which neither rusts nor needs oiling, and cleans quickly after every use.
- Full control: The hand crank lets you govern pace and texture yourself, without the meat warming up along the way.
- Standard size 8: Extra hole plates, knives and sausage funnels in size 8 fit straight on, whatever the manufacturer.
How to use
- Fit the knife and hole plate, and place the grinder steadily on the bench with the rubber protectors against the counter.
- Cut the meat into strips that fit the feed tube, and crank at a steady pace while feeding.
- Take the grinder apart and wash all parts in hot soapy water after use, and dry well before storage.

FAQ Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between grinder no. 8 and no. 22?
The number indicates the standard size of the grinder head. No. 8 is the compact everyday size at 2.4 kg, perfect for dinner portions and smaller batches. No. 22 is the big workhorse for game, sausage making and large quantities. Accessories such as hole plates and sausage funnels follow the same size system.
What is the advantage of all-stainless over tinned cast iron?
Stainless steel is practically maintenance free: it does not rust, needs no oiling after washing and dries quickly. Tinned cast iron is heavier and traditional, but requires the parts to be dried and oiled after every wash. Both grind equally well, the difference lies in the care.
Can I make sausages with this grinder?
Yes, with a size 8 sausage funnel you can stuff smaller batches of sausage straight from the grinder. If you make sausages in large quantities, a bigger grinder or a dedicated sausage stuffer is more efficient, but for everyday use no. 8 works very well.
