Just a simple video where I share with you how to properly clean and maintain your manual meatgrinder. - Навчання та стиль
Good tips - especially the part about lubricating w/cooking oil
It's such an easy thing to do to ensure longevity of your equipment
Adding the oil was a nice touch, I hadn't thought of that. I imagine the knife and plate would be the most critical parts as they are probably high carbon steel.
An important tip I learned the hard way, and while it's not as important on this device as for some others, I saw that still you did it: Whenever you are doing ANYTHING around a sink, put the drain stopper in! LOL!
Being in Europe, we do not have the issue of dropping things in the sink, there is naturally a little 'grate' there, ensuring big things don't go in, we also do not have grinders in the sinks as many Americans have.
Looks easy enough. Great video
Thanks, it's faster than driving to the butchers for mince, and here you know exactly what you get:) And it's a fun process to grind your own mixes
Awesome, can't wait to see recipes from you
Going to be crazy
I found this exact one today at value village second hand store for $3:99!!! I grabbed it fast. LOL
Exactly how fast????
I believe I paid around the same for mine, second hand as well, good price, and great value for money:) Enjoy it, and take care of it.
@@Deebo99 Haha, I bet it was really really fast
Nice video...so how did the burgers come out?
Thanks
You are so welcome, thank you for noticing:)
Thanks so much for your video. Really helpful. I have a question for you: after putting the cooking oil to keep the mincer, when I go back to use it, should I to wash the machine again?
You are super welcome - It shouldn't really be necessary to wash before using it again, unless it has been exposed to dust and dirt, then I would give it a rinse under warm water before using - I don't wash mine, I store it in a small container, with the knife and hole plate wrapped up in an old rag with a couple of drops of vegetable oil on it - then it is always ready to go - bacteria shouldn't be an issue, as you would most likely cook anything that goes through it, so dirt and dust is the only thing you need to worry about before using it.
@@soiboughtameatgrinder2363 muchas gracias!!!! Greetings from Mallorca!!
ngl i'm thinking of just nickel plating everything before painting so i don't have to worry about rust
I am not sure how that would work, but look forward to the result, it will be hard to sharpen the plate and knife if it is plated - let us know how it works out
Hello, it's been a year. Are you making any more videos??? I was hoping for one with the meat grinder and a yummy recipe.
I will make more, I actually just got a new meat grinder for my birthday, and will share my bolognese recipe with you all - I didn't realize I had gotten this many views on this video, I just put it up to help people out, because everybody asked me all the time:)
I can't wait! Thanks for answering back.
Of course, I think I should maybe try and put up a video every 14 days from now on. Next one, bolognaise, after that, I will do my famous burger patties, then lasagna base, falafel after that, and I also want to show alternative things to do with it:) I will keep you all posted, easier if you subscribe to my channel, then I guess you'll see it automatically, I am no youtube wizard, but I'll learn as I go
Sounds great, looking forward to those videos!
Would it help if I use a little bit of vinegar to clean it?
It might discolor it, especially any bits that are high carbine steal, such as the knife and plate. I use full strength vinegar for removing rust from badly rusted garage sale tools. But it darkens the metal and makes a smelly black slime that will stain almost anything it touches. The boss lady was NOT happy when I washed a batch of old files in her white porcelain kitchen sink after they spent a night in vinegar. Now I clamp parts outside and hit 'em with the pressure washer before handling them. So I think I will stick with soap and hot water, and maybe a Scotch Brite pad when cleaning my own grinder.
As Jon mentioned, you can do it, but it's overkill, if you are unlucky and got a bit of rust on there, use a little steel sponge and get it off with warm water and soap, it will be alright - take care not to "scrub" the knife and plate, it will get dull - if that happens, you can try to use a flat sharpening stone (wet) and carefully run small circles on it, only a little bit, and be careful to hold it straight - the best way to keep it sharp and working are simply to ensure cleaning and maintenance after use.
@@soiboughtameatgrinder2363 thanks for the tip boss
Great video, thanks!
How did your grinder hold up? Still no rust?
Is the oiling absolutely necessary?
The internet mentions putting it into a box of rice to keep it dry, what do you think?
Besides my Porkert meat grinder, I also have a Porkert poppy seed grinder and fruit grinder.
I don’t want them to rust because some of them are quite rare (they were made in Cezchoslovakia).
Hoi, ze worden nog steeds gemaakt in Tsjechie, heb zojuist een nummer 5 besteld en binnen gekregen.
The Porkert ones are really good, the only weak spot is the hole plate, I have found that if I do not oil them up after cleaning, they will go bad quite quickly and start to rust, so I always give them a drop.
I am a big believer in making it super easy to use home cooking tools, and I would not bother with packing it in rice for storing, but having an old rag, throw a bit of oil on there, wrap the knife and the plates in it, and store it like that - it will not rust unless it's stored in a moist environment.
Regarding your question of if it held up? - I tightened it too hard using a knife, and actually broke of the foot completely, which was a bit sad really, lesson learned, and lesson shared - it was un an unstable table, and I tried to make it stand better by tightening a bit extra, KLOnCK - cracked, but there was no rust on the plate:)
De gehaktmolens wel (maar niet zoals ze vroeger gemaakt werden), de andere molens niet of nauwelijks. Los daarvan wil ik de mijne zo lang mogelijk roestvrij houden :)
Good point, if it’s a hassle to store and to get it out again, you’re less likely to use it…
I found the same thing with the plates, the original iron plates rust quickly inside the holes. However, the previous owner of mine made a stainless plate and they might be available online as well.
I’ll oil the plate and/or store it (together with the knives) in an oiled rag, thanks!
Oh and thanks for the warning as well… I’ll make sure not to tighten it too much…
@@mversantvoort Exactly, I like to use mine a few times per week, and it just has to be easy to get out and use, as well as cleaning and getting out of the way. I am not sure about the stainless plates, I have never seen them before, and I am also not sure if they will stay "sharp" the same way?
Thanks, this video deterred me from buying a meat grinder. I figure the point is to grind meat fresh and use it at that time. So grinding a bunch in advance defeats that purpose. Therefore having to go through that cleaning process each time I figure it's just better to pick up ground meat that day I'll use it. Now if I could just dump it into my dishwasher, and just let the parts air dry on the counter I might have used it often.
Hi Glenn,
there are pros and cons to everything:) I do mix 3 types of meat when I make burgers for example: Lean beef, Pork belly, smoked bacon - all of it goes through the meat grinder along side garlic and onion powder, then mixed with salt and pepper - using the meat grinder ensures that I can use exactly the cuts I want, knowing that it all comes from the correct type of meat. As a butcher I can tell you that industry mince is really disgusting, especially the industry type. I do however understand that the cleaning is not the funnest part, but in all reality, it only takes a minute or two once you get the hang of it:)
Commercially-ground meat could contain 100 animals, thereby increasing the possibility of bacterial contamination.
Bhai ye machine hamko kahase milega please batao muje kharid na hai muje ish number pe adress send Karo
no worse than cleaning a juicer!
Exactly, it is nothing to be afraid of, and there is so many things you can use it for, not only meat:)
@@soiboughtameatgrinder2363 I bought one off ebay,took me 2 hours to clean it! Now it works great.
You washed ALL the soap off the brush after doing the screw. Bad wash job.
Nobody got sick, the warm water did the job, remember that once dry, bacteria doesn't grow, and everything running through the grinder will be cooked as well, so it is not a disaster, and it got clean anyways, so there must have been a bit of soap left on it anyhow, but good of you to let everybody know - thanks! Cleanliness in the kitchen is important
