ASSEMBLY

1. Bolt the grinder body (#5) , using the clamp screw (#6) , to a sturdy surface, which can be easily cleaned. Slide the auger (#4) in the grinder body. Attach the handle (#7) to the body using handle thumb screw (#8) . Put the knife (#2) on the square portion of the auger stud (#3) , making sure the sharp edges of the knife are facing out. Place the grinder plate (#9 or #10) on the pin portion of the auger stud. Make sure the notch in the plate is aligned with the locator pin on the grinder body. Hand tighten the retaining ring (#1) on the grinder body. Unit is ready for grinding.

2. Over-tightening the retaining ring will cause excessive wear on the knife and plate. Under tightening will cause the meat to be mashed instead of cut. If mashing occurs, disassemble the grinder, clean out the meat from the grinder and plate, reassemble the grinder and tighten the retaining ring a little tighter than it was originally.

3. After using the grinder, disassemble and hand wash in hot soapy water. Rinse with hot water and hand dry. DO NOT PLACE

UNIT IN DISHWASHER.

After drying, spray the grinder body, auger, knife and plates with a food grade silicon spray. This will prevent oxidation; keep the unit in good operation condition for many years of dependable service. LEM Products recommends that you use our Silicon Spray; it is USDA approved and complies with FDA regulations.

4. When making burger from wild game, add a minimum of 10% pork fat to the meat. This will give the burger moisture, but not make it fatty. If pork fat is not available, use beef fat. Never use beef suet. Suet is too hard. The burger will be cooked before the suet melts causing little suet particles to remain in the burger.

5. When making sausage, add at least 20% fat with the meat and grind it like burger. Mix the seasoning with the meat after the first grind and then grind the mixture a second time. For a coarser grind, grind the meat through the 3/16” plate one time.

Then mix the seasoning with the meat. This works well for those who like coarse sausage. Also, LEM Products recommends you use our Soy Protein when making sausage. It is available in a 1 lb. package, which is enough for 50 lbs. of meat. Use 2 teaspoons of Soy Protein for each pound of meat. Soy Protein helps to retain moisture and prevent shrinking during smoking or cooking. It is very high in protein, making it an excellent binder. It also gives the finished sausage a smooth, moist consistency.

Soy Protein has no taste. It contains no cholesterol and is fat free because it is derived from a vegetable source.

6. To stuff sausage casings, follow the directions provided with the stuffing tubes.

CASINGS

1. LEM Products carries natural sheep, hog, and beef casings. Fresh casings produce a juicy, tender sausage. You’ll hear a distinctive ‘pop’ when you bite into a sausage stuffed in a natural casing. To store unused natural casings, cover the casings with salt, place them in a zip lock bag and refrigerate. The casings will keep for an indefinite length of time. Natural casings produce 4-5 links per pound. Salted casings have a very long shelf life. If not refrigerated, the salted casings quickly give off a strong odor, even though they are not spoiled. Put them back under refrigeration and for the most part the odor disappears.

To use natural casings: rinse in warm water several times, flush the inside, and then soak in warm water for ½ to 1 hour until they become soft and pliable.

2. When putting the casing on a stuffing tube, place it loosely on the tube. If it does not go on easily, the tube is too large.

Forcing the casing onto a tube that is too large will cause breakage and it may not come off the tube correctly. Sausage meat should be stuffed as tightly as possible into the casing.

3. Collagen casings are uniform in size for easier stuffing. They can be used for fresh or smoked sausage. The smoked collagen casings are stronger than the fresh collagen casings so they can be hung in a smoker and not break. DO NOT soak collagen casings before stuffing.

4. Synthetic/Fibrous Casings can be used for summer sausage, hard salami, bologna, and many other sausages. They should be soaked in warm water for 20 – 30 minutes before stuffing.

5. Large synthetic casings should be stuffed one section at a time. Hold the casing firmly on the tube. Pack the meat tightly into the casing to prevent air pockets. After stuffing the casing, grab the untied end with one hand and the tied end with the other hand. Twist the untied end of the stuffed casing closed until the log becomes very firm. This next step may take 2 people. One person can hold the twisted filled casing and the other person can tie the open end closed. You can also use hog rings to close the open end of the casing. Hog rings and pliers are available at LEM Products. Inspect the stuffed casings for air pockets.

Lightly puncture as many air pockets as possible to avoid fat reservoirs from forming in the pockets while cooking.
