Grinder? LEM vs Weston vs Pro Cut?

Joe1 Some people will grind twice through a 3/8 but I think once through a 3/8 and the second time through a 3/16 is a better product unless you are looking for something like chili and that is usually a large specialty plate.

mudmuppet speaking for Jonathon, I’m sure his thought is just buy a Walton’s grinder.

I had not heard of dual grind technology before, Pretty pricy but may be good for high volume dual grind applications

mudmuppet If that actually worked well they would find a way to be put on commercial grinders and they don’t. How a commercial grinder would handle this is called a gemini system and it is one grinder feeding the hopper of a 2nd grinder, which would be far more expensive than 1 grinder that did it twice. I can’t speak for 100% sure but when we think about it I see it as a bad idea. Your 1st grind is always going to be faster than your second, even if you go through the same size plate. The protein has already broken down so it is harder for the auger to grab it. So, when you have a small 3" distance between 1st and 2nd grind the protein is going to be unnecessarily stressed between those two points. Now, maybe they made adjustments and the outside knife runs faster than the inside knife but then we seem to be sacrificing the 1st grind for the 2nd.

I have found that LEM products are quality but pricey. My go to now is a cabelas #12 pre carnivore (Weston) and it is awesome. Key is COLD meat like almost frozen. It does not matter what grinder you have, if your meat is not almost frozen, you are going to struggle. If I had to do it again, I would have went with a Weston #22 butcher series (has reverse) and called it a day. They can be hard to find now tho. Look at Home Depot.com believe it or not. Will set you back 5 bills.
