How well does this work to grind chicken?
1775941
Hello, I primarily use it to grind chicken breasts, which grind into a nice, clean, burger consistency (has 2 sizes of dies for meat). The product works surprisingly well, is well made and solid, easy to clean, doesn't feel like "cheap" plastic. I just feed the chicken breasts into the hopper (big enough to accept full size breasts), and turn the handle, and it does its thing, hard to believe how much ground meat a single breast makes, you can have pounds of fresh ground chicken in no time. Great buy. Hope this helps.

It works great! I bought it to grind meat for my 11month old because she loves meat but has no teeth. I grind chicken, steak, & pork so that I can make patties and grill like hamburgers. She loves it!

Yes, it does a good job. I bought the grinder primarily for spices. I grind cumin and cardamon seeds regularly and always get the desired result.

I am assuming you mean soft bones (like sardines), so yes, I think it would do just fine. It can't handle hard bones like in pork or chicken, or even more substantial bones like in larger fish. If you can eat the bones (without grinding), I think this will grind them. If you wouldn't eat the bones without grinding, then I wouldn't try it (besides, eating ground bones like that might be dangerous as Xrahdio points out).

Boy, this question has me stumped. I've only used this mill for tomatoes and am really not sure how it would do with meat. One thing that I'm sure would work is something I've owned for years. It's the Black and Decker mini food processor. Mine's probably close to 20 years old, but looks very similar to the newer ones. It's not big, and only holds about a cup or so of food, but I grind up chicken for chicken salad with this thing and love it. Here's a link at Amazon for it.

I like it a lot, but I think if you're looking to grind up meat, a little food processor might be a better idea for you. Boy, this question has me stumped.

I only grind corn for our thirty chickens,so i'm sure what you need. But it can grind corn very very fine if you want.But the finer you grind corn ,the harder it is to crank.We like it for what we need it to do.

I used the STX Megaforce 3000 grinder.I now completely raw feed whole pieces of meat, but this grinder was amazing while I was using it. It ground up raw chicken wings, thighs and drumsticks easily and completely. I highly recommend this grinder!

It doesn't actually grind, but it chops meat pretty well. Cut the meat into half-inch cubes, put it in the freezer for about 20 minutes, and pulse to the texture you want. We like it pretty coarse, but I've accidentally chopped it finer and it doesn't smush if the meat is cold/firm enough.

Yes, grinds very well. Grinds egg shells to fragments, I estimate them to be approx. 5mms.

I use it to grind meat and it purees that just fine. I believe it would do just fine for the peas. I have been very happy with the performance of this grinder.

I have been grinding dog food for several years using primarily a mixture of chicken, bones and all, wings and legs are the easiest, and deer meat if I can get it. I started using a Sam Baere machine, I'm not sure if it was the 110 or larger model. It worked but I had to chop up the chicken which was a real pain. After burning up two of the smaller machines, I finally ordered a Same Baere Model SB840. It was a little pricey but well worth it. I don't have to chop wings or drumsticks. Just feed them in whole. If you are going to grind chicken bones, this machine is what you need.

Yes. I did the exact same thing with it by grinding a whole chicken. Make sure the knife is sharp of course.

I have used it to grind whole peppercorns. Does a decent job. Grind for a few seconds, then check for desired consistency.

It grinds to approximately dime size, and yes, it grinds eggshells. I grind a lot of broccoli stalks, and did cabbage lately, so it works well.

Yes!!! Most assuredly! I haven't used it for grinding bones as stated it will do, but it hasn't slowed down with any of the wild game I have thrown in it. I would buy another tomorrow! I love, love it.

so far I made fried rice , general t'so chicken and chicken with roasted peanuts and it has work good. I use the biggest or hottest cooker trying to keep the base even on the hot surface so the sides get hot evenly.

I've used it to grind nutmeg, and it works pretty well. You need to put more than one nut into the chamber for it to work well (and it gets pretty noisy), but it will grind it up.

Yes. It grinds the bones in chicken legs and quarters with no problems at all.
