Manual mincer/stuffer

[kennyliza]

I'm still a bit confused as to which stuffer to go for, the standard one sold on sausagemaking.org, or the Porkert?
And if the standard one, which model - the standard, or the heavy duty?
I am a beginner but nevertheless would like to buy a product that I can pass down to my children, so it has to be excellent quality!!
many thanks
Liza

Hi kennyliza welcome to the forum.

I can't recommend the porkert stuffer, you need arms of steel to use it. As for the rest please remember you only get what you pay for. I have a reber stuffer and am happy with it.

Oddley,

Today I tried the Porkert stuffer and found it was fine.

Although at first it is a bit hard, but then if you perform a pumping action, as if getting water from a well, it works quickly and quite easily (it is like stone if you just push down on the lever, tho.)

Only problem is that the plate that pushes the mixture doesn't go right to the bottom, so there is always a handful of the sausage mixture left right at the end, but you can push it through the tube manually, or, use it as bulk sausage and have it for breakfast, or, dinner (or whatever's sooner...)
