I am about to make pork breakfast sausage for the first time in a number of years, so I went to youtube to refresh my memory. I actually did remember how to do it but ran across one video that said using fully frozen chunks of meat was the best way to grind it. Everything else said partially frozen was the way to go.
I cut the pork into chunks, laid them on a parchment lined sheet pan and froze them. I then placed in a zipper bag removing as much air as I could. I'm hoping freezing first prevented the chunks from sticking together as that would make grinding frozen chunks a breeze. Grinding frozen sure would be easier because I wouldn't have to thaw and then partially freeze. Has anyone ground fully frozen meat?
Edit to add that I am using the plastic grinder attachment with my Kitchen Aide.
