Hiya,

I've just added your post onto a thread that covers quite a few aspects of making your own sausages which should help you out here.

If you can't find your answer by all means ask in this thread.

Good luck

Oh Squeaky my little chicken where would we be without you to help?:D

I've read the whole of this thread and have got loads of info now.Only one question remains for me to answer.Which is better to buy a stand alone mincer/sausage stuffer or get the attachment for my Kenwood Chef?I can get either of them for about the same price so its not a question of cost more about which performs better after all I dont want to waste my time on a piece of equipment that isnt fit for the purpose I want it to do

When my OH made sausages he did them by hand AFAIK, no electrical gadgets.

Totally lost

Erm... I've never heard anything bad said about the kenwood attachment - but plenty about "some" other mincers. It will depend on which one you choose, I guess.

Could someone please tell me if the A950 sausage attachment for a Kenwood chef will fit my newly purchased Kenwood A920?
Been searching for ages for the answer.

The best way to make your own sausages is to get a starter kit- once the bug has hit you will make lots of different ones and the taste is so different from the manufactured ones - cheaper and better quality. http://www.designasausage.com have all the goodies that you need. My latest sausage was made homemade bacon and farm pork with Italian Herb spicemix. Gourmet stuff at a fraction of the price

Have just made a cassoulet, using pork shoulder (just from supermarket) and good quality sausages. I was rather alarmed to find that the sausages cost much more than the meat, in fact, going on double!

I think it's about time I tried to make the pork shoulder into home made sausages. i have found a couple of things on the web, but was wondering if anyone has had a go at doing this. I realise that a lot of members will find the idea of making your own sausages 'quaint'. Although I'm not funny about a lot of the stuff I buy, I'm a bit funny about anything that has unidentifiable meat in it.

Hi purpleivy - not a thing I've made myself, but I do intend to once I have my own pigs

I'll add your post to the existing sausage making thread so that you can browse the hint and tips there

Hi,

Has any one made any home made sausages.

I have just bought a hand mincer and am eager to give it a go.

I might even give burgers a go later aswell.

Hi a11waysindebt,

There's an earlier thread that should help with the sausages so I'll add your post to it to keep the recipes together.

This thread may help with the burgers:
