NESCO Professional Food Grinder - A Healthier Diet
• With your own NESCO Professional Food Grinder, you control the ingredients.
You control the amount of fats, salts and other additives, for a healthier diet. Chunky
sandwich spreads, savory appetizers, hearty soups, relishes, homemade sausage,
other meat dishes. . . even cakes are so easy to make.
• You can make sausages out of any foods. Most butcher shops offer casings,
which you purchase fresh, just before you are ready to grind.
• Your NESCO Food Grinder is intended for processing relatively small quantities.
Meat needs to be cut into relatively small chunks and gristle should be removed or
it will likely clog the Feed Screw assembly. If grinder clogs, you can easily clear the
Feed tube by pressing the REVERSE switch button.

Grinding Tips
During extended periods of use, fats from meats can build up inside the grinding
head causing motor to strain and slow. If this happens turn off grinder and unplug
cord from outlet. Disassemble and clean grinding head and feed screw.
Fine Cutting Plate - Use for nely ground texture, such as spreads, baby food or
hamburger.
Medium Cutting Plate - Use for ground meat in soups or relishes
Course Cutting Plate - Use for coarsely ground texture, such as nuts, vegetables
or ground meat for chili.
Raw Meat and Fish - These items will have a minimum loss of juices if thoroughly
chilled before grinding. When grinding larger quantities, fats can build up inside
the Grinder Head. If this occurs, disassemble and wash parts in soapy water, then
reassemble. After grinding meat you can clean the Feed Screw by grinding a slice
of bread.
Remove all bones, tough tendons, nut shells, etc. before grinding.
Nuts - Use the Course Cutting Plate and feed nuts into Grinder Head slowly.
Whenever possible, alternate with other ingredients, such as dried fruits or
vegetables.
Bread Crumbs - Best if using dry or toasted bread. Make sure all parts are free of
moisture before starting.
