I have never ground before. I'd like to add herbs to meat and then grind for sausage. Will this work well?

Yes it works good. I like to season cubed meat for certain sausages and leave sit overnight. I still mix the sausage with a mixer or by hand after grinding.

Yes this will work just fine. The best thing would be to either season large chunks of meat first, then grind. Or, do a course grind on the meat, then add in the seasoning and then do a second grind. Or, do a course grind, add seasoning, then use the stuffing attachments to stuff your sausage casings.

I agree with the other two responses - this machine is a work horse and will grind anything!!!

I use ground coffee. I grind it extra fine and it seems to work. Not as fast as course ground. But it works.

Definately NO. This is like using pure salt on anything you put it on. If you use it then use it sparingly and do NOT add any salt to the meat at all.Personally I do not think it works that well. It will work to a point if you tenderize the meat with a meat tenderizer, (The kind that looks like a hammer or one that has many points on it )

I have never used it for making sausage so that I could answer your question. However, I used it for making ground meat. I like it.

I love my "grinder" & use it for a lot of things but never for bones, it was not made for that job. I have made mincemeat and cranberry sauce that is healthier then store-bought. each piece is uniform and same size last year, I was given a turkey. I stripped the meat off the bones and ground it. it was good but not a job that I will do again.

I don't know. I've only used to grind deer meat. And I've generally tried to get the meat boneless first. I'm sorry I can't be any more help.

Not a problem...I originally purchased the Cuisinart DLC-4CHB to help my 88 year old mother-in-law be able to eat some of the types of meat we would have for dinner. What I would do is cut up the (cooked meat) into half inch cubes before putting them into the Cuisinart. Using the chop and grind back and forth it would chop the meat to as fine a consistency as I wanted. That said, I have never used it on raw meat. I would suggest that you just try it with a small amount of meat at a time. Just listen to the motor to make sure it is not laboring, and don't run for an extended period of time, this is not a commercial food processor. One other point of information, after cleaning let the cutting blade dry thoroughly so that the part that slips over the motor shaft is dry. This will keep the shaft from corroding.

I have never ground them, I use them in drinks and for canning beets and in my cinnamon and honey tea. I have used a grater to grate small amounts on tops of drinks and foods so I would say you should be able to.

The grinder comes with all you need to stuff sausage. The only other things you need are the casings and meat

I am not sure. I never tried grind fat scraps. I did not have problem with fat meat. I think if your fat will be cold it will work. hope this will help. Benjamin.

Yes. The type of sausage you are making will determine how coarse or fine of a grinding plate you will use. As an example, when making a summer sausage I use a 6mm plate and when making a Kielbasa I use a 4.5mm plate. Once the meat is ground and seasoned, stuffing into casings is pretty effortless.

Not yet. I am buying pre-ground meat at the store,not my favorite option. I don't think the KA grinder is meant for this kind if thing, based on the discussion board.

You could try it, but I usually do two grinds for the sausage I make. I don't think this short cut of grinding and stuffing would prove to be much of a time saver.

I haven't tried coffee beans yet, but I have ground spice which came out fine. I think it would work just as well with coffee beans.

Yes I have never made jerky from ground beef with this seasoning.. jusy slice against the grain thin slices and matinate with water and spice mix overnight... packets do give instructions also.. have never used with venison but I'm 100% sure it would be great!

I have never ground that kind. There are 2 types, metal and stone. The metal is supposed to grind wet things.
