Making Summer Sausage with a Bowl Chopper?
-
processhead Mine looks like it has the same dimensions as yours. I’m expecting a couple of slabs of back fat tomorrow. So, it might be a 10lb run of Summer Sausage this weekend.

Do you already have a grinder of some kind you can run the fat and meat through before chopping? -
Yeah, I have a Pro-Cut Grinder, but I’d rather not get it dirty?LOL
What I like about the chopper is that seems to be better at creating a good emulsion/binding.

The chopper will get get you a finer emulsion, but you will still want to run everything through the pro-cut coarse and fine plates.
A guy has a like-new #12 Pro-cut for sale on FB market place along with a ton of extra plates, knives and other swag for $500. Wish I needed it. lol

processhead Do you have a link to the #12 Pro-Cut sale? I’m curious what he has for sale. I probably won’t be able to view it since I don’t have a FB account, but will try.

Sure. Just to clarify, his grinder is badged with a Tor-Rey label. As I understand it, they are now marketed as Pro-cut.

processhead that’s correct! Torey is ProCut. Mine is a ProCut

Hope it tastes as good as it looks.

processhead Yes, it does!

smokinbubba Yeah we could do something on that for a livestream, I’ve got one in our commercial test kitchen and it seems like people are getting more interested in them.

processhead I paid $1100.00 for it from a local used restaurant equipment store. It was pretty dirty when I got it. I ended up taking apart the bottom plate to remove all of the old crap and polished it up. It looks really nice now. I also replaced the blades and locking collar and nut. I’ve been mainly making frankfurters with it along with a loaf of Leberkasse.
Pivodog What did you use to polish your chopper up? It looks really good.
-
When I got the bowl chopper, I took it apart and scrubbed it down with simple green to get rid of the old food and grease stuck on to it and then used a little bit of aluminum polish to shine it up. After that, I washed it down and sanitized it with Clorox and water.
-
I think some of these machines with the cast aluminum housings probably were factory polished with a fine wire wheel buffer and then clear coated to seal the surface. I know on mine, there are areas where it looks like the coating has worn through from repeated cleaning and general wear and tear.
