I specifically want the grinder to grind chicken w/ bones for my dogs. Has anyone used it for this purpose and how did it work for you?

Mine broke while grinding semi-formal deer meat. It would definitely break with bone

in particular after I get me home I tried it and in 5 minutes it caught no more, though I Molio defective bino meat well I do not mean it's bad but I only lasted 5 minutes and I returned it.

Does a great job for grinding meat. Not sure about bones...will possibly dull the blades.

It depends on what you define as large. I have used it to do batches of ground meat that were upwards of 25-30 lbs and the grinder did a wonderful job for me and I can barely keep up with it. I also admit that I am an amateur and only do batches like this a few times a year.

Well, I think that depends on how fine you want them. This will do very fine. I use a mini Cuinart depending on how fine I want nuts. Finish with something else for coarser nut pieces unless a regular nut (manual) grinder will work. Never done chicken. I would coarse grind with my Kidtchenaid.

Yes, it can grind chicken breast if cut in cubes. I have tried that once few days ago.

I used the STX Megaforce 3000 grinder.I now completely raw feed whole pieces of meat, but this grinder was amazing while I was using it. It ground up raw chicken wings, thighs and drumsticks easily and completely. I highly recommend this grinder!

I've used the meat grinder - and i'd say it works well. it's a small attachment - small capacity - and you just keep adding the meat. The power /motor seems adequate.

I purchased this grinder specifically for making venison jerky and it works very well. I have ground 6-8 pounds of venison and a few pounds of beef so far and I haven't had any issues. Personally, I like to first grind the meat through the larger diameter grinding plate, then run it back through again with the fine grinder plate in place. This makes the jerky nice and tender in the end.

though the grinder worked great for elk, i don't think it is made for bone crushing ! in a few days my wife, and I ground 400 lbs. of elk i would invest in the higher end of the grinders......1000 - 1500 watts, and that size is still inexpensive !!

Yes. I did the exact same thing with it by grinding a whole chicken. Make sure the knife is sharp of course.

It will only work with ground meat. Maybe invest in a meat grinder.....that's my next purchase!

I'm not sure what Katrina is talking about because this grinder works amazingly. Maybe she put it together incorrectly? Anyway, it will crush chicken bones with no problem. I've even done turkey bones although the turkey legs did cause the grinder to stop twice. But, turkey bones are bigger and harder than chicken bones. I actually made some youtube videos showing it grinding chicken, check it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWARTDPfjy8

I found a place that sells the bosch mixer meat grinder places with the various size holes. It's http://www.foryourkitchen.com/products/Bosch_Mixer_Meat_Grinder_Attachment_Parts-890-93.html ... I have the Bosch for small meat grinding jobs and I'm IMPRESSED with the great job the plate and knives work to grind up meat. I have a Chop Rite 2 for that I've motorized for heavier duty jobs, and have exhausted a number of other so called grinders. The plates are expensive, granted, but then they are expensive for the chop rite also. Chop Rite sharpens both their blades and plates which extends their life immensely, but sometimes you can find someone in your area that can sharpen meat grinder plates and knives. If not, then perhaps Chop Rite might consider doing it for you. If I remember correctly, it cost me about $5 apiece to sharpen. Enjoy!

I've used it to grind nutmeg, and it works pretty well. You need to put more than one nut into the chamber for it to work well (and it gets pretty noisy), but it will grind it up.

I emailed a company rep and he said he used it to grind bird seed so he thinks it'll work, just set it to a very fine grind.

Of course it will do great. We even use it to grind whole chickens, bones and all, for dog food.
