Has anyone grinded raw meats with this? Can it grind meats finely into a paste?

I do not think this machine is really suited to this purpose. It grinds, but perhaps not for what you are expecting. Personally I use an attachment to my Kitchen Aid Mixer for any grinding of raw meat.

This is designed to grind meat. I use a Magic Bullet for seeds and nuts and it does nicely.

Yes this will work just fine. The best thing would be to either season large chunks of meat first, then grind. Or, do a course grind on the meat, then add in the seasoning and then do a second grind. Or, do a course grind, add seasoning, then use the stuffing attachments to stuff your sausage casings.

It may do it,but I would not recommend putting bones through any meat grinder,it would be hard on any cutting knife.I hope this helps.Thanks Randy

I never tried grinding raw rice. But I grind whole spices (including Mastered seeds)... Hope rice will also grind.

I gave this requested gift as a wedding present. Didn't study it very hard. I don't think it had a serrated edge, so I don't think it would do raw beef or similar meats. I've used one very similar on chicken tenders , though I usually use scissors on small raw meats like that.

YES! This meat grinder is amazing!! I had actually bought the Kitchenaid meat grinder attachment first, but it couldn't handle really processing meat. My husband and I needed to grind up our deer & hog meat from a recent hunting trip. I LOVE my Kitchenaid mixer, don't get me wrong, but when it comes to grinding meat--this thing is the way to go! It is easily about 10x faster than the Kitchenaid..and our meat grinder attachment from Kitchenaid began to spit grease into our meat after a while because it couldn't handle the job. I would definitely recommend this meat grinder. It was a great buy, and a durable, fast meat grinder! YES! This meat grinder is amazing!!

Good question. I have never done it. It could be done but you would probably have problems with a good seasonings mix in the ground meat. The stuffing tube will definitely fit with the grinding plate and the meat would be able to fill the casing. Marinated meat might be worth trying. Dang, I see the needless murder of another wild pig in my future!

Not a problem...I originally purchased the Cuisinart DLC-4CHB to help my 88 year old mother-in-law be able to eat some of the types of meat we would have for dinner. What I would do is cut up the (cooked meat) into half inch cubes before putting them into the Cuisinart. Using the chop and grind back and forth it would chop the meat to as fine a consistency as I wanted. That said, I have never used it on raw meat. I would suggest that you just try it with a small amount of meat at a time. Just listen to the motor to make sure it is not laboring, and don't run for an extended period of time, this is not a commercial food processor. One other point of information, after cleaning let the cutting blade dry thoroughly so that the part that slips over the motor shaft is dry. This will keep the shaft from corroding.

Does a great job for grinding meat. Not sure about bones...will possibly dull the blades.

No I don't think you want to try grinding bones less you want a big mess on your hands....I ground small 1" peaces of just meat and it was a big job pushing the meat down the feed hole it kept pushing the meat back up and out all over the counter....You should look at better electric unit to grind bones.........LEM makes a good unit but expect to pay 200 at least........

I have used it to mostly grind meat but it is very easy to clean and works well. I am sure it would work well with nuts.

Hello - I grind whole, raw chicken. Bones, meat, tendons, skin - everything. I chop it into pieces that will fit through the tube. RAW rabbit and turkey bones should be soft enough to put through. You probably know that cooked bones are very hard. I would not grind beef or pork bones in the 1800. Grinding 10-20 pounds of chicken a week since April and this model is still running like new. I hope that helped.

We have used this machine to "cube" cuts of steaks. We run the meat through a second time, which makes it even more tender. I expect you could do stew meat with it. It may work with smaller pieces of meat. Might be worth a try.'

This is a heavy duty grinder. It should grind raw chicken with a lot of "elbow grease". Cheers!

I haven't used this one on raw meat or fish but with our old electric knife, my husband used to filet fish. He said this knife would work well to do that also. Hope this helps...

I don't know if it can grind row bones or not I haven't tried. It does really well on the meat we grind.
