With countless ways to use ground meat, choosing the right meat grinder for the job is a must — one that can make brats, sausages and burgers. The Chard #12 Heavy Duty Electric Grinder grinds or stuffs generous portions of meat into sausage casings in a short amount of time via its 500-watt motor — up to 6 pounds of meat per minute. Safety is also a consideration. The #12 Heavy Duty Electric Grinder has a thermal safety reset button that provides overload protection and extends the life of the grinder. It also features a large hopper and food pusher with storage compartment, fine, medium and course sintered steel grinding plates and stainless-steel cutting blade. MSRP: $194.99. www.chardproducts.com
