HELPFUL HINTS

• Grinding stale bread pieces may help remove food residue left in

the Waring Pro™Meat Grinder after use.

• Cut food into strips or cubes slightly smaller than the opening on the

Die-Cast Hopper.

• Make sure food is free of bone, tough tendon, nutshells, etc. before

grinding.

• Raw meat and fish should be thoroughly chilled (not frozen) before

grinding to reduce the loss of juices.
Freshly ground meat should be refrigerated and cooked within
24 hours.

• During extended grinding, fats from meats can build up inside the

grinder tube, slowing down grinding and straining the motor. If this
happens, you should stop the Waring Pro

™

Meat Grinder, wash parts
in hot water, and reassemble. When possible, alternate bread with
meat. This helps keep the feed screw clean.

• Trim a handful of fat from meat. Process the fat through the hopper
to lubricate grinding mmechanism for better processing results.

• For best drying results, prepare sausage a day or two prior to use.

TO MAKE SAUSAGES

The sausage attachments allow you to blend meats and spices for
homemade sausages.

METHOD #1

* If you have purchased dry casings, they must be soaked in cold

water, or a mixture of 2 cups water and 1 tablespoon of vinegar,
until they become soft and pliable. Soak for approximately 1 hour
changing water 3 times to rinse salt off.

* Meats should be cut into cubes that will fit through the Die Cast

Hopper opening and mixed with seasonings before making
sausages.

3. Place Feed Screw into Grinder Tube, long end spindle first; turn it
slightly until it is set into Motor Housing.

the slots of the Grinder/Feeder Head.
