Cut and chill the meat
Cut meat into smaller chunks and remove excess bone or gristle. Keep it well chilled: cold meat minces more cleanly and more safely than meat left out at room temperature.
Buyer guide · Meat mincer
Hand-chopping keema is slow and inconsistent once your orders grow. Here is what a meat mincer actually does, in plain language.
The short version: chill and chunk your meat, feed it into the mincer, let the screw and blade shred it to the fineness you want, then pack it fresh and clean the machine well.
The process
Cut meat into smaller chunks and remove excess bone or gristle. Keep it well chilled: cold meat minces more cleanly and more safely than meat left out at room temperature.
Load the meat chunks into the feed tube or hopper at the top of the machine.
A rotating screw pushes the meat through a cutting blade and a perforated plate, shredding it fine or coarse depending on which plate is fitted.
Minced meat comes out the front into a collection tray or bowl, ready for the next step.
Pack fresh mince straightaway for sale, or refrigerate or freeze it promptly to keep it safe.
Clean it well after every use, and especially carefully when switching between meat and any vegetarian use.
Choosing the right machine
A small butcher shop and a busy catering kitchen need very different mincers, even for the same keema.
