Collection: Meat grinders for preparing your homemade recipes

Which mincer for your burgers, meatballs, and stuffings?

Choose based on the meat to be prepared, usual quantities, and the desired texture. Check the intended use indicated on each product sheet and in the manual: some products in this selection are described primarily for vegetables, without confirmation of their compatibility with meat.

Bowl or plates: two ways of working

A plate mincer passes pieces through a perforated disc. The chosen plate influences the texture; use only the sizes intended for the model and actually supplied.

A bowl mincer compatible with meat processes pieces within the container. Monitor the texture in sequences, respecting the indicated quantities and operating times. It does not necessarily provide the same result as passing through a plate.

Manual or electric: choose according to your use

A manual mincer requires operating the mechanism and checking its attachment before use. Compare the size and the space needed to handle it.

An electric model motorizes the mincing, but requires adhering to recommended operating durations and pauses. Choose based on the allowed quantities and accessories rather than just the advertised power. The bowl capacity does not necessarily correspond to the maximum authorized amount of meat.

Prepare the pieces and control the texture

Remove bones, cartilage, and overly tough parts, then cut the meat into pieces suitable for the opening or the bowl. Keep it cold until preparation and work progressively, without overloading the appliance or forcing the mechanism.

For burgers, meatballs, or stuffing, adapt the plate or sequences to the desired texture. Finer mincing is not necessary for all recipes.

The CuisinerTelUnChef tip: start with a small portion to check the resulting texture before preparing the rest of your mixture.

Hygiene and cleaning

Keep utensils used for raw meat separate from ready-to-eat foods. Wash hands and clean surfaces after handling. Respect the cold chain and the storage and cooking rules specific to your preparation.

Keep fingers away from the opening and use the pusher provided when available. Stop the mechanism before any intervention and unplug electric models before disassembly or cleaning.

Clean parts that come into contact with meat after use, carefully remove residues, and dry components completely before storage. Never immerse the motor block. Check the manual before putting anything in the dishwasher.

Frequently asked questions

Can you prepare sausages with all mincers?

No. Mincing stuffing and filling casings are two different operations. Filling requires a suitable accessory and use authorized by the manual.

Can you mince bones or frozen meat?

Do not assume so. Remove bones and follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding the state and hardness of the food.

Do the labels small, large, No.5, or No.10 indicate a precise quantity?

Not on their own. Consult the dimensions and allowed quantities for each variant; these names are not enough to establish a mincing capacity.
