HELPFUL HINTS
•
Grinding stale bread pieces may help
remove food residue left in the
Cuisinart™ Meat Grinder after use.
• Cut food into strips or cubes slightly
smaller than the opening on the
Die-Cast Hopper.
• Make sure food is free of bone, tough
tendon, nutshells, etc. before
grinding.
• Raw meat and fish should be
thoroughly chilled (not frozen) before
grinding to reduce the loss of juices.
Freshly ground meat should be
refrigerated and cooked within
24 hours.
• During extended grinding, fats from
meats can build up inside the grinder
tube, slowing down grinding and
straining the motor. If this happens,
you should stop the Cuisinart™ Meat
Grinder, wash parts in hot water, and
reassemble. When possible, alternate
bread with meat. This helps keep the
feed screw clean.
•
Trim a handful of fat from meat.
Process the fat through the hopper to
lubricate grinding mechanism for
better processing results.
•
For best drying results, prepare
sausage a day or two prior to use
NOTE: Grinding times may vary with
different types of meat products. To
ensure optimum grinding performance,
meat must be placed in the freezer for no
longer than 30 minutes (must be able to
pierce meat easily with the tip of a knife).
TO MAKE SAUSAGES
The sausage attachments allow you to blend meats and spices for homemade sausages.
METHOD #1
* If you have purchased dry casings, they must be soaked in cold water, or a mixture of
2 cups (500 ml) water and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of vinegar, until they become soft and
pliable. Soak for approximately 1 hour changing water 3 times to rinse salt off.
* Meats should be cut into cubes that will fit through the Die Cast Hopper opening and
mixed with seasonings before making sausages.
