Anyone tried grinding minced meat for Kabobs (for Sheekh or Shami)?

Ultra Dura+ is not made to grind meat. We do not know anyone who has used it for meat.

No, not really. Meat requires a very sharp blade and although the blades in the machine are sharp, they're not that sharp. It works great for making ground beef with the cutting mixing blade, but for those deli slices, you are better off with a machine made for the job. Just search Amazon for "deli slicer" or "meat slicer."

There is a rack, we have done turkeys and chickens, you could probably do ribs. Let me know how they turn out. Good Luck.

Yes, several times. Also have done capons, beef roasts and even pork roasts...all came out very nicely and very juicy. Rivals anything I've had in a restaurant

Shirley, I haven tried that, but I think the cumin and cardamon would be fine. I wouldn't try anything bigger than peppercorns...or anything harder either. I hope this helps you. It is a sturdy little grinder!

Yes, Either coarse or medium grind. The finer the grind the better the stuffing process is.

I am not sure. I never tried grind fat scraps. I did not have problem with fat meat. I think if your fat will be cold it will work. hope this will help.Benjamin.

Yes. meat grinders work great on vegetables. If you like reibekuchen or kartoffelpuffer (German potato pancakes), this is the fastest, easiest way to make them. Much easier than grating the potatoes, and the texture is the same.

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 purchased this grinder to do the same thing. I've had no trouble at all with chickens, bones and all. The manufacturer says it will handle turkey and rabbit bones and all. It is very heavy-duty and powerful. Though I haven't tried anything but chicken yet, I have no doubt it will work. I put the meat/bones through twice. Once with the large-hole die and once with the small-hole. You have to clean the bone pieces out to keep the meat moving through efficiently, but you'd have that with any grinder. I love this grinder and would buy it again.

I tried grinding cooked ground turkey. It required a lot of "muscle" to push the food through. As a result, I also wound up with metal shavings in the food because the metal is too soft . I wouldn't buy this product. It's not worth the risk of metal shavings in the food.

I wouldn't attempt to to anything that is not the consistency of cooked potatoes. I suggest a meat grinder for meat and poultry.

We have not tried that yet. This was for my husband, and so far he has only done a medium/fine grind.

I'd say many or most grinders can grind chicken & rabbit bones with meat. I do so for making cat food. This one should do. I've talked to people that say they grind chicken bones very well even tho the instructions advise against it. Turkey bones is harder to do, and forget beef bones unless you have a big expensive unit.

You could try it, but I usually do two grinds for the sausage I make. I don't think this short cut of grinding and stuffing would prove to be much of a time saver.

Not really chop, more puree. I did make tabbouleh however and with bulger wheat in there it kind of chopped it.

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!
