GRINDING HEAD ASSEMBLY 1. Loosen the head locking/side knob enough to insert the grinding head onto the main unit (see Parts & Placement on page 3). Tighten the head locking/side knob to stabilize the grinding head. 2. Insert the auger into the front of the grinding head with the short tip of the auger facing out (Figure 1).
MEAT PREPARATION The temperature of the meat is VERY IMPORTANT. Your meat should be as COLD AS POSSIBLE without being frozen solid. Most professional butchers grind their meat at 34° Fahrenheit. The consistency should be crunchy to the touch – NOT frozen solid. If your meat is not cold enough when you grind, it may ball-up in the front of the grinding head and may result in charring of the meat and meat by-products (fat, blood, etc.).
HOW TO GRIND MEAT 1. Choose which grinding plate you wish to use and install it into the grinding head (see Grinding Head Assembly on page 4). 2. Cube or strip your chilled meat and put the meat into the meat hopper on the top of the assembled grinder.
SAUSAGE STUFFING ASSEMBLY 1. Insert the auger into the front part of the grinding head with the short tip of the auger facing out (Figure 5). When you insert the auger, you may have to twist it just little until you feel it set into the motor housing.
HOW TO STUFF SAUSAGE 1. Grind the meat to the proper consistency you desire for your sausage prior to stuffing the sausage (See How to Grind Meat on page 6). 2. Add water and the spices of your choice to the mixture. Mix thoroughly and chill overnight in the refrigerator.
KUBBE ATTACHMENT ASSEMBLY When using the Kubbe Attachment: • Do not use a cutting blade or a grinding plate. • The meat must be prepared beforehand, prior to using the Kubbe Attachment (See How to Grind Meat on page 6). •...
WHAT IS KUBBE? Kubbe is a traditional Middle Eastern appetizer comprised of a small football shaped shell filled with meat (usually bulgur wheat and lamb). The center section is often stuffed with spiced minced lamb filling and the ends are sealed. Kubbe is usually deep fried resulting in a crispy outside with a delicious filling.
