QUESTION: How do you handle the leftover mince in the stuffer???
-
All kinds of good ideas!!! The next area of deal with is the oversized elbow that is on the stuffer. If I would have done some research I could have seen how frustrating some of those designs are. I may have an idea based on some of your suggestions though. I will keep you posted

My earlier post addresses this issue as well as meat left in the stuffer tube. I have only tried it once, and would like to hear from others whether it works for them.

Well, thinking about sending a “bolus” down the stuffer to clear the elbow (since clearing the horn is a lot easier), I decided to use my physical therapy background to my advantage. I will experiment with some tear resistant pliable/malleable stress ball (Non-Toxic, BPA/Phthalate/Latex-Free thermoplastic rubber) that we use with hand therapy and for sensory integration with our Down’s patient. Send one or 2 down the stuffer and press it to the horn. They clean up and can be sanitized easily. Should be an interesting experiment!!!

Let us know how the stress ball works. I was trying to finds something to uses that was compressible, flexible, non toxic and cheap. Cooked rice was all I could come up with, but no doubt there are better options out there. -
I roll/flatten the left overs between some parchment paper cur with a pizza cutter and make reconstructed jerky sticks, zero wasted.

Well my little experiment was a success!! The last pic shows how squishy. The amount of mince left over was little and was a breeze to stuff through the horn

Dr_Pain congrats, Looks like you may have nailed it.
I see squishy balls are non toxic and besides they will not contact the mince for long -

Dr_Pain that looks like the best option so far. Looks like I need to visit the PT folks where I work. Thanks for sharing.

Dr_Pain Looks like a good process, how do you clean it when done?

I see squishy [censored] are non toxic and besides they will not contact the mince for longI did clean them and sanitize them with iodophor before using them so since they are thermoplastic the likelihood of a cross contamination is small. They are Non-Toxic, BPA/Phthalate/Latex-Free so… worse case scenario and the get pinched or split and I lose a small chunk into the mince I can fish it out and all is well.

Actually you can pick those up on Amazon. You would have to visit someone that works with sensory reintegration to have something like these and not many PTs specialize in that. Most of the stuff I use at the clinic have graduated levels of squishiness and most often are puttylike not a perfect sphere.

I washed them with plain ol’ soap and water after I was done. Before I was done I washed them with soap and water and used Iodophor dilution as per instructions.

I take the leftover and form a log close to the size of snackstick I’m making and throw it in the smoker with the rest. Just have a little skinless snack stick
