  • Lem #8 grinder vs Weston #22 grinder
    I had been using a Lem #8 grinder, it works great but for the quantity of meat I'm grinding I wanted something bigger, faster, and quieter. I went with the Weston #22.

    Thanks for making this video. I used a cheap grinder like your LEM to grind my elk and deer for many, many years. Over 25 elk, and many deer went through that machine. When it got stolen, I bought a #22 from Weston, it is used, and I paid $150... What a difference, small grinder would take about 2 hours, it took less than 15 minutes to grind 100lbs of elk. I do feel that the large machine left more meat on the auger, but it wasn't a huge deal with a large run. For small runs, I'd use the little grinder, I think it was easier to clean

    Someone simply wanted a new grinder. All of this mysterious information is so very readily available and easily accessible. in MANY places. But no one has to justify anything they buy to me (unless they use my money to buy it). BEST OF LUCK TO YA WITH THE NEW GRINDER!

    Thanks, you made it easy to see the differences in the sizes. #12 looks good for what I'm doing. Most smaller machines don't even mention the size in their adds sadly.

    today we're going to compare a speed test on a Ferrari vs an Elantra. In addition, we're going to handicap the Elantra, just to ensure our sponsor can upsell the much more expensive version of their products. Home cook beware, you need to grind much more meat per minute. Also pay no attention to the fact that the slices of meat we are using is much larger than manufacturer recommended sizes. Get the commercial version guys. C'mon man... =) ass hats

    Thanks I have an older weston #8 that is about as slow as the one in your video and have been considering a #12. After seeing your video I now know the #12 is the way to go. Thanks

    Apples & oranges. These small machines with plastic gears are not for someone wanting t do a good job. The only thing worse is the grinding attachment for your Kitchen Aid mixer.

    One of the issues I am contemplating is reports I've read that the larger the plate size (and larger feed tube/auger channel), the more wasted meat that can get caught in the auger area that won't come out (unless you force it out putting additional fat chunks or bread to push it out). Do you find this to be true? How much is the difference between the two sizes you have here (#8 & #22)? Thanks...

  • @giancarlocipolla4416
    @giancarlocipolla4416 4 роки тому +6

    I believe that there will be a considerable difference in price too, unless you have a big production you don't need a #22, a #12 would be more than sufficient.....

    Did you chill that meat for the number 8 meat grinder?? some of these reviews are set up to market the bigger meat grinder, I been executive chef for 30 years, never had any issue with my #12 1hp grinder for my home. 😂😂😂 You just wasting your money if you only grinding for as needed I like use up my meats in the freezer after 3 weeks anything after that meats start to like freezer burns.

      He clearly said in the first 10 seconds that the video was about size difference because he couldn't find a vid on it. It wasn't about which is better. His needs required a bigger grinder. Sometimes a bicycle will do and sometimes you need more hp.
