Our take on the #12 Electric Meat Grinder

The #12 Electric Meat Grinder is a 350W (0.5 HP) countertop grinder with a 13 lb metal body, forward, reverse and circuit-breaker buttons, and dual steel gears in the gearbox. It ships with three stainless plates (3.5mm, 5mm, 8mm), a star knife, three plastic stuffing tubes, a Kubbe attachment and a stomper. It suits beginners and home sausage makers doing batches of roughly 10 to 15 lbs. Against modern mid-range grinders it is simpler and slower, and owners report it gets loud under load.

What reviewers say

  • NoiseCriticisedBuyers report it gets very loud when grinding under a load.
  • Stuffing setupCriticisedThe star stuffer and kidney plate needed to support the auger during stuffing were not included and had to be bought separately.

About the #12 Electric Meat Grinder

The #12 Electric Meat Grinder has a 350W (0.5 HP) motor and a solid 13 lb body. Large quick-launch buttons control Forward and Reverse. A Circuit Breaker button resets the grinder after an unexpected overload.

Vortex grooves inside the auger housing reduce smearing. A pair of steel gears in the gearbox delivers consistent torque for smooth, continuous grinding. An ergonomic locking knob holds the auger assembly to the body, and oversized finger-grips on the locknut make it easy to twist on and remove.

Three stainless steel grinding plates, a star-shaped chopping knife and three stuffing tubes for different sausage sizes are included. A Kubbe attachment makes mini croquettes, kibbeh/kubbe balls or potato-cheese fried dough balls. A safety stomper pushes meat into the hopper and keeps fingers clear.
