Product Description

Waring Pro MG800 Professional Meat Grinder, Brushed Stainless Steel. Professional quality meat grinder for homemade sausages, hamburger, and more Sturdy brushed stainless-steel housing with extra-large die-cast hopper.

Amazon.com

Fresh ground sausages, pates, meats for chili, and fish for soups can all be prepared at home with this professional quality meat grinder. Solid and sturdy, the beautiful brushed stainless-steel housing should last a lifetime. An extra-large, die-cast hopper holds a generous amount of cubed or sliced meat, which is then fed into the grinder tube with a long plastic pusher. Three metal cutting plates are included: fine, for spreads, pates, hamburger, and baby food; medium, for soup-related textures; and coarse, for ground meat used in chili. Fish and vegetables can also be ground with the appliance. Stored inside the pusher are two sausage attachments, which allow meats and spices to be combined for thin or plump sausages (recipes for Cajun, Italian, venison and other sausages are included in the user guide). Covered by a five-year warranty, the 350-watt motor works effortlessly and operates with a simple on/off/reverse switch. With the hopper attached, the grinder measures 10 by 13-1/4 by 8 inches. All parts should be washed by hand. --Ann Bieri

I love to cook and have practically every appliance available. Many items remain in their boxes and are seldom used, but this grinder is an exception. The idea of buying store-bought ground meats is a real turn off since I have been grinding my own. Most of us have seen or read about what goes in the meat we buy or question the hygiene of the store employees or handlers of the product. That being said, the Waring Pro lives up to all of its positive reviews.

Cleanup is easy, especially if it is done right away so parts don't have meat drying and sticking. I air dry and store the grinding plates in a bag of rice as another reviewer suggested, preventing the need to oil and avoiding the guminess that can be caused with prolonged storage.

The noise of the motor that some felt was excessive is to me what would be expected from a grinder, it can't do the job and purr like a kitten!

The unit is well made, sturdy, attractive, and gets the job done with ease. No problems with jams or speed and the finished product is a beautiful thing! I also suggest running bread or crackers through to purge the remains from the meat.

Ground beef is my primary use for this machine and after extensive Internet searches for the best cuts to use, I have found that a combination of chuck and sirloin renders the best flavor, texture, and fat content. I trim any silver skin and grizzle from the meat, cube and chill, and run it first through the course grind, then the medium. When sirloin steaks are on sale (typically $2.98 lb. at the local Wegmans) I will ask the butcher for the whole cryovaced piece and purchase an equal amount of chuck at around $2.49 lb. This makes the price of top quality, safe and delicious ground beef comparable to the regular priced store-bought. I have found that the texture tends to be softer when using whole cuts rather than trimings so resist the temptation to grind more than twice.

Very good grinder, some quibbles, though

Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2012

This is a good, solid, workhorse of a grinder. For most household use there is little more you could ask for. It is well constructed and does a very good job grinding even partially frozen meat. It is lightyears better than the Kitchen Aid attachment I used prior to getting it. I've used this model for 2 1/2 years and am now looking to step up to a higher volume grinder and my experience with it has helped me understand better what I want out of my next machine.

I do have some minor quibbles, none of them deal breakers, but enough to take it down one star.

- The cheap, hollow plastic plunger. It's cheap. And hollow. And plastic. It's also too fat and oddly shaped to fit comfortably in my hand (which is by no means small).

- The fit. Certain types of sausages are very sensitive to temperature, so I sometimes freeze the blade, die, gear and housing before use to minimize the transfer of heat to the forcemeat. When cold, the ring on the end doesn't like to thread easily and is hard to tighten. If not properly threaded or not tightened well enough, the blades and die do not work correctly resulting in mangled meat that grinds very slowly. Disassembling to fix it after the grind is started is messy.

- Noise level. It's a little loud. Not crazy-loud, but in my apartment controlling noise to avoid pissing off the neighbors is always an issue. No one has whined about it yet, so I guess my 2 A.M. grinds have gone unnoticed. :)

- "Bite size" could be bigger. It's no worse than cheaper units I have used, but the size of the pieces of meat has to be controlled well, as the grinder bogs down a bit if the meat chunk size gets too big.

My new favorite Kitchen Tool. Makes good ground like the store

Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2012

Verified Purchase

We got the Waring MG-800 because we have been very happy with other "commercial grade" waring products we have owned.

It arrived well packaged in the mail today and I had 30 pounds of venison waiting for the grinder. I quickly read the directions and assembled the machine. Assembly and operation are very intuitive.

I have never owned another meat grinder before but I have been given "home ground" meat that looked like it had been smashed and mushed without actually grinding leaving a stringy consistency in the pan. Based on the reviews I read this machine would give me a good quality grind.

I am entirely pleased with the performance.

SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE NOTES

The auger does an amazing job of pulling the meat through once it comes in contact. There is no need to force the chunks down the chute unless they are too large to easily slide down.

The motor has power to spare. It took less than 15 minutes to grind 30 lbs of venison. This also included time I was taking to soak up some excess blood beforehand and to fiddle with the machine. It was over too fast. I was having fun!

The machine was not nearly as loud as other reviews had indicated. I was prepared to put in my earplugs but they were not necessary. My wife and I working side by side were able to communicate with ease while the machine was running.

The quality of the grind was excellent. The meat comes out ground and not "mushed and extruded" like some other grinders do.

I only used the medium grinding attachment but I think its great that they give me options for both a finer and a coarser grind as well as the capability to make sausage.

I was impressed with the overall quality of the machine. It appears to be well built and it comes apart easily for cleaning. Take-down and cleanup was completed in about five minutes. The oven was on because we were baking bread so I put in the carbon steel cutting head and plate to heat off any excess moisture. Reading the other reviews, I don't want to have any first hand experience with the rust I keep hearing about.

The box and packaging is well built and it all goes back in very well so I will be using the box it came in to keep it safe for storage between uses.

We tested the final product this evening in a venison spaghetti. It cooked up great and we were very pleased that we can now eat our venison in more ways.

Meat grinder came on time and worked much better than expected. Ground up a 15 pound roast beef in about five minutes, works better it you cut meat into strips then put it in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes prior to grinding.
