NESCO Food Grinder - A Healthier Diet
• With your own Food Grinder, you control the ingredients. You control the
amount of fats, salts and other additives, for a healthier diet. Chunky sandwich
spreads, savory appetizers, hearty soups, relishes and homemade sausage.
These and other dishes are so easy to make your way, for you and friends.
• You can make sausages out of any foods. Most butcher shops offer casings,
which you purchase fresh, just before you are ready to grind.
• Your Food Grinder is intended for processing relatively small quantities.
Meat needs to be cut into relatively small chunks and gristle should be removed
or it will likely clog the Feed Screw assembly. If grinder clogs, you can easily
clear the Feed tube by pressing the REVERSE switch button.

Grinding Tips
During extended periods of use, fats from meats can build up inside
the grinding head causing motor to strain and slow. If this happens
turn off grinder and unplug cord from outlet. Disassemble and clean
grinding head and feed screw.
Fine Cutting Plate - Use for nely ground texture, such as spreads,
baby food or hamburger.
Coarse Cutting Plate - Use for coarsely ground texture, such as nuts,
vegetables or ground meat for chili.
Raw Meat and Fish - These items will have a minimum loss of juices
if thoroughly chilled before grinding. When grinding larger quantities,
fats can build up inside the Grinder Head. If this occurs, disassemble
and wash parts in soapy water, then reassemble. After grinding meat
you can clean the Feed Screw by grinding a slice of bread.
Remove all bones, tough tendons, nut shells, etc. before grinding.
Nuts - Use the Course Cutting Plate and feed nuts into Grinder Head
slowly. Whenever possible, alternate with other ingredients, such as
dried fruits or vegetables.
Bread Crumbs - Best if using dry or toasted bread. Make sure all
parts are free of moisture before starting.

Sausage Making Tips
Pork Butt is a good selection of meat for sausage making because of
the ideal proportions of lean and fat.
After stufng you can clean the Feed Screw by grinding a slice of
bread.
Stufng is made a lot easier if you consider it a two-person job.
Prick the casing with a pin or needle to allow the air to escape while
stufng.
Fresh sausage is readily perishable and has a short shelf life of 3-4
days at refrigerator temperature. Up to 4-6 months in freezer.
Average weight of fresh sausage (8 inch link) is 6 ounces.

Sausage Maker Assembly
1. Casings (natural or synthetic) are available in some grocery
stores, most butcher shops, meat packing plants and butcher
supply houses. Local butchers or supermarkets that make their
own sausage are your best bets.
2. Meats must be coarsely ground and seasoned before making
sausage links.
3. Select Sausage Cone based on size of casing to be used.
4. Before stufng, insert two ngers into one end of casing to
open, hold under the faucet and let water run the entire length.
This will wash away some of the packing salt. If you don’t clean
well, your sausage will turn out saltier than when you tested the
seasoning.
To Stuff Casings:
1. Gather all of casing over Sausage Cone, except the last 4 inches.
2. Place seasoned meat into Food Hopper and depress Switch “ON”
(I).
3. Use Pushrod to push seasoned meat into
Grinder Head. As you push mix through
the Grinder, it will stuff your casing.
NOTE: Stuff casing loosely, as some
sausages will expand during cooking.
4. As casing begins to ll, tie-off the end
with string.
5. Distribute meat through casing and
twist into links as it lls to obtain the
desired size and shape.
6. When nished or casing is full, press Switch “OFF” (O).
7. Unplug unit from electrical outlet and clean thoroughly by
following cleaning instructions given in this book.
