Hi Everyone
I'm a total newbie from South Africa and am so keen to plunge into this hobby.
I am, as a South African, especially keen to start making my own boerewors (plus breakfast sausages and even try making frankfurters) etc
I was about to rush out and buy a Kenwood MG450 mincer/ stuffer when I luckily stumbled upon this site.
After reading the forums here, it seems that's it's way better to buy a separate grinder and manual stuffer?
I intend making around 10kg of sausage at a time.
My questions are:
What size mincer (grinder) will do the trick, i.e how powerful should the motor be to get a proper mince going?
Whereas I assume the more powerful the motor the better, I don't want to fork out commercial prices, if a simple home grinder from an appliance store will do the trick.
Would a 5 liter stuffer suffice, and are the vertical ones better?
It seems that stainless steel is the best way to go?
What should I be aware of when buying a stuffer?
A real bonus would be if any South Africans on here could point me in the right direction as to the best places to shop for the equipment
Thanks again for a really great site.
Shaun
