I often buy meat in bulk especially when it is on sale. Lately, I have found that some of the cuts aren't as tasty cooked whole and decided to use the meat grinder. The meat grinder is such an easy way to tenderize cheaper cuts of meat, and infuse them with seasoning. It does work better if you cut the meat up in pieces and trim the fat to an acceptable amount. Also this meat tastes so much better than meat than you buy already ground at the store. Also if you have any hunters in your house, this works wonderfully for game meat. It is a great way to process your own meat and control what your family is eating. Great tool!
