A meat mincer - NO I do not have one I just buy the minced meat from the supermarket.

I had a hand cranked one years ago, it was okay for mincing up the remains of a joint and onions, but clogged a bit on fresh meat. To be honest for that price I'd go for something like this as it's more versatile.

I used to use a 'hand-cranked' one every Monday on the Sunday leftovers of cold, roasted meat - as a girl. It looked something like this

... although looked as though it had a relatively hygienic enamel finish!

That looks like the one I had, I could never get it to stay clamped for more than 5 mins, thank heavens for food processors I say.

we have a hand cranked one from lakeland, and it's ok, but food processor is probably easier to use, easier to clean and more versatile.

I have a mincer attachment for my Kenwood Chef which I do use now and again, but I wouldn't bother with it as a seperate appliance tbh.

I have a minced from Lakeland that is rubbish for mincing meat but very good for mincing vegetables. I'm not sure how much use I'd get from a machine for mincing.

I have my gran's hand cranked mincer but it didn't do a good job on raw meat. I think it's probably just blunt, I don't know.

I want to make pates, terrines and sausages, so got a mincer attachment for the old chef that I got off freecycle.

I looked into the Lakeland electric mincer, but the reviews were a bit mixed and it would be something else to store, not to mention the significant expense.

how do you mince meat in a food processor? Using the cutting attachment?
