Our take on the MEAT! #12 Meat Grinder 0.75 HP

The MEAT! #12 is a stainless steel electric grinder built for hunters and home sausage makers. Its 0.75 HP motor and #12 head handle whole muscle, venison and pork, with a claimed throughput of up to 11 lbs per minute. Two grinding plates and sausage stuffing horns come in the box, so it covers coarse grind through links without add-ons. It is heavy at 47 lbs and sits in the same class as LEM and Weston #12 grinders, trading a bit of motor size for a stainless body and a large removable tray.

Questions and answers

Is the MEAT! #12 strong enough for whole deer?
Yes. The 0.75 HP motor and #12 head handle trimmed venison, elk and pork in one pass. Cut meat into strips that fit the feed tube and keep the meat cold.
Does it come with sausage stuffing parts?
Yes. Stuffing horns are included along with two stainless grinding plates, a knife and a food pusher. You supply the casings.
Can the parts go in the dishwasher?
The stainless plates, knife, auger and tray are dishwasher safe. Hand wash the head and horns to keep the finish.
How does it compare with a #8 grinder?
The #12 head and 0.75 HP motor move more meat per minute than most #8 models. It suits batch grinding; a #8 is lighter for small weekly jobs.
Does it have a reverse function?
No. There is no reverse switch, so clear a jam by stopping the motor and disassembling the head.
How much meat can it grind per minute?
MEAT! rates it at up to 11 lbs per minute. Real output depends on meat temperature, cut size and plate choice.
