Hi Guys
Please excuse this post if it may sound silly but I recently purchased a Mellerware Mincer that came with a Sausage Attachment.
Previously, I had a Kenwood Chef Attachment and it worked quite well although the Filler Attachments was a little worn out and would keep tearing into the casings so hence I went out and got myself this little dedicated machine to help me make some great sausage at home.
I first tried to make Droewors - the mincing went well and I managed to easily load the Sheep Casings on to the filler attachment. Now just to put you into the picture of how this machines operates differently from my Kenwood machine. With the Kenwood machine, when you put the Filler Attachment - you have to remove the mincing blades and then install the filler attachment. With this new machine, the Mincing Blade stays in place and the attachment goes over it - so in essence the meat first passes through the blades and then into the casings. The problem I have with this is a lot of water with all the flavour leaks out for some odd reason - a problem I have never experinced with the Kenwood machine.
Does anyone else have a filler like this and is my suspicions correct in saying that I am loosing a considerable amount of flavour when filling sausage - water sprays out the sides of the filler attachment.
Thanks
SM
