SunBeam MixMaster
« on: February 22, 2023, 11:20:14 AM »
I found this site while looking how a meat grinder and juicer work on a SunBeam MixMaster.

Interesting little video and I love that kitchen he is in.

had a meat grinder for the old ladys sunbeam. It was lame at best. A little #8 grinder is 10 times better and there lacking.

If you're doing any kind of volume
at all, you'd just as well to buy a
proper purpose built grinder with
enough HP to get it done and over
and not bog down 
I don't usually do over 10 lbs at
a time,  because that's about what
can be dealt with by the recipe
and smoker capacity for casing
sausage
18 MINUTES.  . . . . . .

Growing up on a farm we did our own meat processing, beef, hog, and chicken. We had a hand cranked sausage mill and when we finally got electricity my dad converted it to electric power. He removed the crank handle and ground the shaft down to where it mounted on down to where a 1/2" electric drill chuck would fit. One of us would run the drill and another stuff meat into the mill. It really did away with a lot of the work required to make sausage and it did just as good with hamburger.

That’s a great idea.

I was told that the more prosperous
people near my folks that had a model
A or T ( whatever had the wagon wheels)
would jack up the rear and put the grinder
handle in the wheel spokes and the
axle would spin the grinder handle.
Usually an elderly person would sit in a
chair right beside it and feed the grinder
meat, and the young-uns would relay
pans of meat to be ground, and take
away pans of ground meat and put
down an empty pan.
All assembly line stuff.  All neighbor
labor sharing stuff
