Can this grind beef or pork finely enough for hamburgers or meatloaf?

This is a very small processor, so I wouldn't even try it. Best to stick to veggies.

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.

good question, I would say you could if it was fresh boiled and fresh eaten as long as there's moisture for it to break down easy, but it does take a lot of elbow grease to grind up big stuff.

I mixed pork fat with my deer meat and it ground it. Like i said for the money it did the small amount of meat i had. I'm used to a butcher shop grade grinder

Yes it will stuff sausages. It has a special plate to use instead of the grinding plates and comes with (3) different size casing tubes. I have not used it for sausages yet but it should work very well for that. It is an excellent grinder!

Yes, this will grind coffee into a fine powder. it is a great grinder that can adjust from fine to coarse.

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

Yes, I have used it for ground beef as well as steaks, pork chops, and chicken.

If you intend to stuff sausage cases, you will need to either get your meat already ground (ground beef, ground pork, ground turkey or ground veal)to use in your recipes or you will need a grinder if you use whole cuts of meat. There are several good grinders available. Lem is a good one. Depending on the qty of meat you will be processing should determine the size, power and rate you will need. Grinders come in several sizes. Shop for best price as these can get expensive.

The way it grinds chicken bones so easily, I'm sure it would go right through that paua meat like butter, I made sausage a few weeks ago, was able to grind about 55 pounds of pork in about 21 minutes, very capabile

Yes. You can do any meat on it. Prepackaged, bulk, everything. I have thawed thick steaks, to thin, premade hamburger patties. No problem.

I have never made beef jerky........so I am sorry that I can not help you. I use the grinder to grind up ham and it works great!!! I place chunks of ham in the grinder and it turns out like ground hamburger in consistency. I hope this helps!

The plate with the two HUGE holes is for sausage stuffing. The rest are just different sizes, and can be used for whatever, mostly. The one with 5 holes does a more "Chili Grind" that gives you larger chunks that are perfect for a chunky chili, where as the smaller plate does a "hamburger grind" thats perfect for like Taco Meat or Sloppy Joes... Its just a little bigger than the small grind that came with your meat grinder unit. The one that came with your unit is a very fine hamburger grind, thats GREAT for hamburgers or meatballs... But mostly. The only difference between the rest of the plates is how fine/course your meat will come out, and thats a personal preference rather than anything that's set. I suggest grinding about 1/4lbs with each plate, cook them seperately, and see what you like the best and what you think will work for you. I like using the one that came with the set with the 6 holes for ground chicken! Its nice, because it dooesn't make chicken mush like the stuff i get at the store!

Yes. The type of sausage you are making will determine how coarse or fine of a grinding plate you will use. As an example, when making a summer sausage I use a 6mm plate and when making a Kielbasa I use a 4.5mm plate. Once the meat is ground and seasoned, stuffing into casings is pretty effortless.

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.

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

I've used it for fried okra from the freezer but I'm not sure it will work with meatloaf. There would be too much drip page even with ground sirloin. And I think it would only work with precooked chicken fried steak but that would probably crisp up nicely.
