🌿 Benefits That Matter for NZ Homes & Small Hospo

1) Freshness & control

Grind minutes before cooking to retain flavour and texture. Choose your preferred cuts and set your own fat ratio for juicier patties or leaner blends.

2) Save money, reduce waste

Stretch roasts and off-cuts into premium mince. Portion exactly what you need; skip the plastic trays and mystery blends.

3) Texture your way

From fine for sausages & dumplings to coarser for burgers & meatballs, change plates (where available) or re-pass for your ideal bite.

4) Compact & portable

The small form factor suits apartment kitchens, baches, and market stalls; store in a drawer when not in use.

5) No power needed

Perfect for off-grid, camping, power cuts, or a quiet kitchen—hand-cranked reliability any time.

6) Sausage-ready

Fit the funnel (if included) and pipe fresh sausages with your own spice blends—breakfast, boerewors, chorizo, you name it.

7) Easy to clean

Simple, tool-free teardown; smooth channels reduce residue; hand-wash and air-dry to prevent corrosion.

8) Multi-use versatility

Great for pet food prep, fishcakes, pâtés, nut crumbs, or cooked veg spreads—not just mince.
