Starfrit Manual Meat Grinder

ASSEMBLY

Always wash before first use. Please refer to the cleaning section on the next page.

1. Clean the bottom of the suction base and place it on a clean and non-porous surface for added stability.
2. Place the suction base 2 cm from the edge of the work surface to free the handle during usage. Lock the base to the worktop by turning the locking button clockwise (using your hand or the end of the pusher).
3. Insert the grinding coil into the mincer housing.
4. Install the cutting blade onto the grinding coil. The sharp side must be facing outwards.
5. Install the required blade depending on the texture desired. Screw the blade cover onto the mincer housing and turn counter-clockwise to lock.
6. Slide the mincer housing onto the suction base until it clicks.
7. Install the handle by pushing it into the grinding coil and turn the screw clockwise to lock.

CLEANING

• All pieces are detachable for easy cleaning.
• Remove the grinding coil before detaching the mincer housing from the suction base.
• All parts are dishwasher safe except the suction base.
• Use a damp cloth to clean the suction base, do not submerge it in water or put it in the dishwasher.

TO USE

Insert cubed meat in the mincer housing. Push down with a pusher while turning handle clockwise to mince.

For better results:

• Place the assembly upper part of the grinder in the freezer for about 2 hours before use.
• Dice your meat into small chunks before inserting it into the meat grinder.
• Do not overfill mincer housing.
• Do not grind frozen meat.
• Tendons, bones, and skin must be removed.

TO MAKE SAUSAGES

• Immerse the casing in room temperature water for 2 hours.
• Unscrew the cover blade, and remove the fine blade and cutting blade from the grinder.
• Place the sausage funnel inside the cover blade and screw it back on the unit.
• Slip the casing onto the sausage funnel leaving at least 6 inches at the end.
• Put your refrigerated preparation into the grinder and start cranking. Air should be the first thing that comes out of the sausage funnel. Once the meat reaches the tip of the sausage funnel, remove the air from the casing and tie it to the end.
• Let the sausage come out tightly in one long circular coil with the least amount of air possible; you will make links later.
•  Once all your meat is in the casing, remove the casing from the grinder, remove the air, and tieto the end with a knot
• Shape the size you want by twisting the sausage onto itself 3 times. Make sure to change the direction of the rotation of each node, so they do not come o.

Tips:
With a toothpick, prick air holes in the sausages to release pressure and avoid splitting the skin during cooking. Let dry for 2 hours on a flat surface or hang on wooden racks.

SAUSAGES WITH CHEESE CURDS, BACON AND ARUGULA

PREPARATION OF HOMEMADE SAUSAGES
Assemble the meat grinder with the fine blade and place the upper part in the freezer for about 2 hours. Cut meat into chunks of one or 2 inches in size and place inside a large bowl. Add spices and all the ingredients to your meat and mix all together.

Cover the bowl and then chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours. After the sausage mixture has chilled, remove the meat grinder from the freezer and grind the cold meat through the meat grinder. Ensure you have applied the suction base to stabilize the unit on the counter.

Once done, it is recommended to place the preparation in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the sausage meat to macerate and enhance flavors. Refer to the previous page to make sausages.
