Is this any good?

both reviews on site says about it going rusty quickly but perhaps not enough care was taken? Maybe there's a reason it's so competitively priced.

My rings, unfortunately were kept in a bag with a damp cloth, but I had had them about 20 years up til then. But that type of mincer is usually good as long as it has a strong clamp.

So if I got the mincer separate, any recommendations for a food processor with a dough hook?

aah - can't help you there, sorry - no idea about processors. Good luck though - when i thought my old Kenwood was on it's last legs, I wondered about a processor. The Chef takes up so much room in the cupboard along with it's accessories but I never got any further

I didn't think you could mince cooked meat?

Yes you can mince cooked meat - that was how the cottage / shepherds pies were originally made. Roast on Sunday, cold meat on Monday when it was washing day, and everything else minced up for cottage pie on Wednesday.

Noticed that Lakeland Ltd sell a meat mincer that is used separately to any mixer.

Is this really good?
I'm guessing you can add to it as you expand?
