Nesco FG-500 Stainless Steel Electric Food Grinder - 500W Heavy Duty Meat Grinder for Home Kitchen, Sausage & Burger Making - Perfect for Beef, Pork, Chicken & Game Processing

First, I suspect many of you are looking for something to grind dog food. This works well for that purpose. While it will not chop cow or pork bones it will grind chicken (raw) bones quite well. Although, some of the larger bones I had to whack with a meat mallet to get them into the hopper. You only need to run it through once for the pieces to be extremely small.Second, I used this to grind my own hamburger meat last night and, truth be told, I may never by pre-ground beef again. I used chuck and sirloin in an 80/20 weight ratio. Then I cut into 1" chunks and ran it through the grinder twice. These were, hands down, the best burgers we ever ate. I'll be using it for sausage in the near future and cannot wait!The price point is great and for home use, I cannot imagine why anyone would spend more!
