Buying Bosch MUZ 4 FW1 01 Meat Grinder with 4.5-Millimeter Perforated Disk


I just purchased this unit for my Bosch Compact kitchen machines (I have two!) and discover upon very first use that it grinds meat quickly and superbly as others have reported.

While grinding beef chuck,the last very last piece of meat in the batch pushed down the tube did not squeeze through the perforated disk, causing expensive waste - which is why I don't give it a perfect score. Maybe I will eventually discover some trick to make that last piece of meat go through the grinder completely - perhaps I should have chosen the highest speed.

Make sure to clean, dry, and oil the blade and disk according to the instructions. They tarnish and rust very easily. I discovered this fact the hard way while letting the disk soak in dishwater too long.

I look forward to use of this quality product for years to come, and experimenting with it for pates, terrines, and a variety of other recipes calling for ground meats. I have additionally invested in the berry press attachment for the grinder, which I expect to arrive soon.

Buy Sunbeam Hand/Stand Mixmaster 200 Watt Stand Mixer w/Burst of Power


I had mine for more than 5 years. I bake a lot of cookies, especially at the holidays. I also used it for mashed potatoes and other mixing jobs. It handled everything pretty reliably, even double batches of cookie dough.

The glass bowl is heavy and very nice. The beaters eventually got little rust spots on them (I live where the water is very salty). The spinning rotating cuff for the bowl went lopsided after about 4 years. And finally, one beater stopped being twirled about by the motor.

But I definitely got my money's worth from this mixer (and I'm back for another).Get more detail about Sunbeam Hand/Stand Mixmaster 200 Watt Stand Mixer w/Burst of Power.
