Wayne from Duchesne, Utah asked:
My Weston Meat Grinder came with two grinding plates.
What grinding plate do I use to make regular sausage like polish or bratwurst?
Wayne you have just asked my favorite question!!
When grinding sausage products I like to use a variety of
plates to give me different textures. I talk about this a lot in our Advanced Sausage Processing DVD that is on The Hunter's Butcher Shop.
Often times, I will grind half of my meat block through the small plate and half through the large plate. What I have found is if you grind everything through the small plate, wild game meat tends to get tough or "rubbery." If you grind everything through the large plate, it's tough to hold the product together. So by grinding half and half, I've found that you get a firm product that has a great bite to it!
Good luck and for more grinding information check out that Sausage DVD!
