The best way to be sure of the freshness of your ground meats is to do it yourself. The Starfrit Manual Meat Grinder allows you to choose the cuts of beef, chicken or pork you prefer and grind them just the way you want for your patties, meatballs, meat pies, or homemade sausages. The ultrastrong suction base holds the unit in place, while the 2 different sized cutting blades give you the consistency and texture you prefer. The meat grinder is also ideal for cutting cooked ham or chicken for great salad toppings or easy sandwiches. Plus, since the parts disassemble for the dishwasher, cleanup is a breeze.
