Before use, manual meat grinders can be washed with hot water and dish detergent. After washing, rinse with cold water. If cleaning an electric meat grinder, only wash the grinder head. Do not immerse the motor in water.

How do I clean a meat grinder after use?

Wash a manual meat grinder in hot water with dish detergent. Rinse in hot water. After rinsing, make sure the plates are completely dry. If desired, coat the plate with a food grade silicone lubricant.

Why is my meat not extruding properly through the grinder plate?

The meat is likely too warm. The meat is not being cut properly and is blocking and building up behind the grinder plate. Before grinding, put the meat in the freezer to form ice crystals.
