Guest guest Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Just wanted to share - After buying a knock-off grain mill, and a good quality sausage grinder, I have learned the difference. I'm also realizing what a valuable tool a sausage grinder is for the home cook who wants to make the most of locally available (like from the back yard) meats. The option to grind a cut that didn't turn out quite as expected is invaluable! I fortunately read many reviews before buying my sausage grinder and the consensus is that the only brand to consider is Porkert, and even then you have to watch out because a factory in China is making a knock- off and selling it as the real thing. My knock-off grain mill won't stay attached to the surface so we have to keep re-tightening it. The parts don't fit together very well, and you can't take the front plate off to clean out the wedged in grains that didn't make it out. It does the job, but now I wish I'd spent the extra $10 or $20 for the real thing. Evidently the knock-off sausage grinders are sometimes so badly made they don't even do the job well. And who wants old meat stuck in cracks where you can't get it out? (I don't work for Porkert, I just realize the value of a good product!)
