However Kitchenaid is a pretty pricey peice of equipment.
i think i'd rather just go with a manual one. btw, do you know what kind of stores would carry them. i checked online at macy's and target and didn't find much. i'd prefer to go to an actual store to get one.
Actually, a food processor will do the job just fine. Just make sure you start with small enough pieces (1'' cubes is fine) and don't over fill the processor. Also, use small pulses and don't over process or it will turn into whipped meat.
I guess so. I've never tried the food processor to grind meat. I would imaginge the texture would not be the same as meat ground in a grinder given the difference in the types of blades. But i'll take you guys word for it
like tough mentioned, the cleanup beats all. You can also add spices and whatever else on the initial step. And you can combine different types of meat at the beginning, like veal, pork and beef for that ultimate spaghetti sauce and meatballs.
