Easy to use can do the job perfectly it totally fit the purpose it was made for, small in size to be stored.
am a single person who wanted to prepare the food mom used to do so yes I like it.
Great meat grinder. Used it number of times and so far very pleased. It has enough power do grind through tougher meat cuts without any issues. It is loud but this is to be expected. You can use it for stuffing but from my experience it would be better to use manual stuffer as you get better control and also you do not put the meat through additional grinding, as this is what happens with electric stuffers.
I also wished it came with one more attachment, 3 hole cutting plate – for thicker cuts. I am yet to see if these can be sourced somewhere, Kenwood does not sell them.
Great for grinding, not so much for stuffing if you want thicker pieces in your sausages.
Needed a mincer to make raw dog food. Whilst it’s not made for bones, it takes chicken carcass well. You have a standard chute so have to chop up the carcass, but the motor handles them easily.
Bought this in lockdown for a bit of fun, really loved making sausages! Made a few batches so far, machine has worked really well. Found it very easy to use and set up, pretty sturdy. The parts all seem pretty decent quality and stack/store pretty well. In terms of a couple of draw backs preventing 5 stars; could perhaps be heavier to offset the balance when using it, nearly tipped over a couple of times, would be good to have multi speed functions, and would be so much better if the detachable parts were dishwasher proof
This mincer was purchased to replace a cheaper model which packed in after one use. The difference in quality was noticeable the minute it came out of the box. It feels so much sturdier.
The motor also has a good solid sound to it and actually feels more powerful than the 200 watt higher item that broke down.
I haven’t yet ground any bones in it yet although a friend with the same machine does so every week and advices that it does the job just fine.
I can’t see me ever using the sausage facility but, if I do, I will edit this review.
I am delighted with this mincer and am glad I spent the (not a lot once delivery is added) extra to get this named branded item. There are simply some kitchen items where it does pay – in the long run – to go with a company who you know has a reputation for good quality and reliability.
Whilst I have given the machine a five star rating which it deserves it has a very poor instruction leaflet. You would have thought a company like Kenwood could do better than this. My primary reason for the purchase was to produce my own sausages and the level of information on this in the instruction book is very poor. Below are some tips that I can share on its use for producing sausages.
1. First ensure you have the right tools to clean it afterwards otherwise it is a nightmare as you cant put the parts in the dishwasher. I use a bottle brush, a test tube brush and a nail brush with these I can clean the whole thing in about 10 minutes. I dry the metal parts with paper towel then put them on top of the oven to ensure they are completely dry then spray with vegetable oil and store in a plastic bag.
2. Before using assemble the grinder attachment and put it in the freezer (not the motor) for an hour or two. The grinder can get hot and this discolours the meat. If it starts off very cold this does not happen.
3. Chop your meat beforehand and put it in the freezer until the temperature is just above freezing. Separate the fat and cut into very small pieces. It is very important that the fat is very cold almost freezing.
4. Grind your meat, add your seasonings then return to the freezer for half an hour so that again it is cold.(not frozen)
5. I prefer the English “banger” style sausages so I use a 32mm cassein casing from Tongmaster on Amazon, these fit the largest stuffing nozzle.
6. The small cutting screen struggles with pork. Would not recommend using it.
7. Assemble the sausage attachment and load with casing and put your ground meat into the hopper. It is useful if you can get someone to keep pushing the meat down in the hopper as I find it is a two handed job to control the stuffing process.
8. If you prefer “chipolata” style sausages I made some without using casings just lightly coating in flour as they were extruded.
9. You get some meat left in the nozzle when the screw drive is empty, I put some breadcrumbs in at the end so that the remaining meat is forced through.
10. I have found that the sausages are best left in the fridge for 24 hours before cooking or freezing as the taste from the seasonings seems to develop better.
So far I have used turkey, beef, pork and chicken all with success.
The grinder can be a little noisy when it is under a load (sounds like a vacuum cleaner), pork seems to be the worst.
Build quality is great, with a nice full metal body unlike a lot of cheap plastic machines is very easy to keep clean and is very sturdy.
I have so far minced several pounds of pork which was done very quickly with no issues at all.
Sausage making worked like a charm. Not the quickest sausage maker, but for domestic use more than adequate.
I made several strings of homemade sausage which taste delicious and i know exactly whats in them unlike shop bought ones. And my friends and family are happy with the end product aswell 🙂
Machine building, break down and cleaning again has no issues. All parts are solid and well made and come apart very easily. Stripping down from mincer to sausage making takes literally a matter of seconds.
I can not think of any cons for this machine and think if your looking for a good, well built machine with metal parts not plastic, its worth spending that little bit more for a machine that will last and this Kenwood for me fits the bill.
Then I started looking for any meat mincer that is made of stainless steal and got all the accessories I need to make Kebbe (from oriental cuisine). I finally found this in a reasonable price! and it does the job.
PROS :
it’s powerful
needs smaller space than the regular mincers
Stainless steel mincer screens
got all the accessories I need.
CONS:
the only negative point so far, it has that it’s not competely stable, you need to be careful when you’re using the plastic feed tube pusher. That doesnt mean it’s not good or it’s dangerous!! but I want to be honest, that happened a few times when I was pushing the (wheat and meat) mixture hardly down the mincer tube.
P.S please dont put it in the dishwasher.
