Is it powerful enough to turn ground meat into a paste?

I would say yes, although I have not tried that but it will do shaved ice, so it makes sense to me that you could do that. It pulverizes frozen fruits for smoothies, so again, I would think that the system is quite efficient.

I'm sure it's powerful enough, if blenders or food processors can even do that. Do they?

I have never put meat into it. . I have ground seeds to powder. I have crushed ice til it is like snow. I can't imagine it would have a problem with meat.

I haven't tried it, but I would think that if you cut the meat into bite size pieces it could work. It is very powerful!

If you intend to stuff sausage cases, you will need to either get your meat already ground (ground beef, ground pork, ground turkey or ground veal)to use in your recipes or you will need a grinder if you use whole cuts of meat. There are several good grinders available. Lem is a good one. Depending on the qty of meat you will be processing should determine the size, power and rate you will need. Grinders come in several sizes. Shop for best price as these can get expensive.

Yes. I have done the same thing. Helps to rinse the ground beef with hot water to get rid of the grease first.

Yes, but it would have to be made in very small batches. So, if you combined the ingredients in a larger container and fed the chopper incrementally, it should work. It does puree quite well. Just small amounts.

Yes, you can grind most any meat to make ground burger or sausage. That's the beauty of grinding you own. You know exactly what's in your burger or sausage. I would suggest cutting into cubes and putting in the freezer for a short time to firm up the meat while you get everything set up. Then remove and start grinding. This grinder worked well for me. I made lots of deer burger and sausage last fall.

Not sure, I used it for meat only. Could be a little too deep for vegetables

It is a very strong blender, so it should work. But the meat would have to be very well cooked and chopped up into small pieces and mixed with some kind of liquid for it to work well. I suspect that a regular upright blender would be better.

Yes, it works fine. I use it quite often on partially frozen roast beef to cube it for stews.

No - the meat would place an undue strain on the appliance. You could probably do it .... but not for long!

I'm sure you could if it was moist enough. The design of the jerky gun is basically take the ground meat, pack it in the tube, and squeezer the trigger. Also the plastic is a bit thin so forcing anything through it could damage the gun or it's parts.

Yes. Without a doubt it should do a very good job of grinding chicken. Nice and powerful. Take the bones out first. Hope this helps.

I cannot tell you that, unfortunately. I do know that my husband said it was MUCH faster than his old one, and it ground up refrigerated chunks of pork in no time, flat. It came through thoroughly ground up, the first time that he put it into the machine, and gave him a nice, even consistent batch of ground pork, for sausage patties.

Yes u can use this meat grinder by hand, but using a 1/3 hp electric motor would be easier and faster.

No sure. We only use it to cook fresh garden vegetable and meat. So I am not sure.

Possibly, but I would buy a meat grinder for that purpose. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=meat+grinder

I mixed pork fat with my deer meat and it ground it. Like i said for the money it did the small amount of meat i had. I'm used to a butcher shop grade grinder
