I'm sure lots of folks here are making their own sausages. I use a meat grinder attached to the Kitchenaid mixer to grind meat. But it makes a lousy sausage stuffer. After the meat is ground, even if I partially freeze it, it is still a pain to feed through the auger type meat grinder for stuffing. So I have decided to get a sausage stuffer.
The general type I think I want is the piston type that is just a straight cylinder that has a plate on the bottom to attach the stuffer tube. It looks like everything comes apart for easy cleaning. The curved type ones don't interest me. Back to the straight ones. It looks like the type with a screw that drives the piston down. This screw can be turned directly by a hand crank or through a right angle gear set. I am also open to a motor driven unit that I can control with a foot switch. That seems like it would make the stuffing job way easier.
Since I finally retired, and since I'm the cook in the house, and since I like cooking and canning and smoking and etc. I think a sausage stuffer will get a lot of use.
Thanks,
Eric
