Meat grinder / mincer recommendations

[Kenny202]

Wife has a restaurant and she's decided wants to do her own mince. Not huge qtys about 5kg a week. Beef mainly.

 

Just wondering anyone have any recommendations for a mincer? I have seen quite a few on Lazada and some look quite good ranging from 300 to 800 watts. One says 3000w which I find hard to believe. All under 2000 baht. I don't mind spending a bit more if better quality. I see the bigger ones they use here in the markets basically an aluminum hand grinder on a steel stand attached to a motor and pully. Too big for us anyway. I have successfully used the food processor to mince pork but beef not so good. 

 

I don't want to go to the expense of buying a kitchen aid / attachments etc. Prefer a purpose made grinder. Any advice appreciated

if you don't want to go the the pricey professional kitchen equipment class buy the biggest watts you you can afford on lazada and you'll thank yourself you did...

Go to the Champ shop at Makro. Lots of catering stuff there.

Kenny, or anyone for that matter, did you end up buying a meat grinder? If so, any feedback.

Thanks.

I did mate and very happy with it. Bought it from Central online, 1 year warranty about 1500 baht I think. You might see the same model on Lazada may be cheaper? Have been using it for must be around 6 months now and going gangbusters. I uses it semi commercially too, mostly 10kg beef at a time. You need to cube the beef first about 2 x 1" pieces and feed it in. Easy to clean also. Can't complain at all. beef actually grinds up a lot better than pork although I do pork as well no problems. Pork is a lot softer and has collagen (shiny white fat).

Thanks Kenny for the full feedback, I'll look out for that.

Thanks again,

Much appreciated.

 

Edit: you got a good deal at that price, it's about 2,800 Thb now.
