Kenwood MG510 Meat Grinder, 1600 W, Silver

OMG after buying a couple of cheaper products which were dreadful and not fit for purpose, I spent a lot of time researching products and it was between this product and the Kenwood MG700, however I could not purchase that on Amazon and wanted the security of a no fuss return if needed. Well, I needn’t have worried, this machine surpassed my expectation and is a very powerful workhorse. Bye bye expensive but poor quality supermarket mince and hello home made. It arrived just in time to mince a half leg of lamb and a joint of beef I had in the freezer to make home made burgers for a bbq this weekend. I am so thrilled with the machine and everything fits away neatly. Well done Kenwood.

Delivery was ahead of schedule by UPS and was in perfect condition. I would note however that it was delivered in the display box without exterior packaging.Whilst I have given the machine a five star rating which it deserves it has a very poor instruction leaflet. You would have thought a company like Kenwood could do better than this. My primary reason for the purchase was to produce my own sausages and the level of information on this in the instruction book is very poor. Below are some tips that I can share on its use for producing sausages.1. First ensure you have the right tools to clean it afterwards otherwise it is a nightmare as you cant put the parts in the dishwasher. I use a bottle brush, a test tube brush and a nail brush with these I can clean the whole thing in about 10 minutes. I dry the metal parts with paper towel then put them on top of the oven to ensure they are completely dry then spray with vegetable oil and store in a plastic bag.2. Before using assemble the grinder attachment and put it in the freezer (not the motor) for an hour or two. The grinder can get hot and this discolours the meat. If it starts off very cold this does not happen.3. Chop your meat beforehand and put it in the freezer until the temperature is just above freezing. Separate the fat and cut into very small pieces. It is very important that the fat is very cold almost freezing.4. Grind your meat, add your seasonings then return to the freezer for half an hour so that again it is cold.(not frozen)5. I prefer the English "banger" style sausages so I use a 32mm cassein casing from Tongmaster on Amazon, these fit the largest stuffing nozzle.6. The small cutting screen struggles with pork. Would not recommend using it.7. Assemble the sausage attachment and load with casing and put your ground meat into the hopper. It is useful if you can get someone to keep pushing the meat down in the hopper as I find it is a two handed job to control the stuffing process.8. If you prefer "chipolata" style sausages I made some without using casings just lightly coating in flour as they were extruded.9. You get some meat left in the nozzle when the screw drive is empty, I put some breadcrumbs in at the end so that the remaining meat is forced through.10. I have found that the sausages are best left in the fridge for 24 hours before cooking or freezing as the taste from the seasonings seems to develop better.So far I have used turkey, beef, pork and chicken all with success.The grinder can be a little noisy when it is under a load (sounds like a vacuum cleaner), pork seems to be the worst.

Excellent quality not the cheapest but well worth the price, very high grade materials and looks like it will last the test of time, I bought a mid range mainly plastic one about 5 years ago but only got about 25-30 uses before the plastic cover and seals gave way, very easy to dismantle and re-assemble for thorough cleaning, also the heavy weight/high power output makes it very stable on kitchen counter tops, a recommended grinder.

Both my wife and I regret purchasing this item. We had a similar model for 15 years approx. it was a delight and reliable. This new model was not so as when one assembled the grinder components and hand tightened the motor failed to turn it. One couldn't either by hand. There is a white plastic washer and sleeve in the new one which was not in the older one and perhaps this is the problem but I was on to AMazon and they were very helpful, I also chatted with Kenwood but alas in the present circumstances their phone lines are not manned. Regretted having to send it back.

I'd previously purchased a manual meat mincer and found it useless and difficult to complete a simple task. So I decided on purchasing an electrical version. This product definitely did the job I was looking for and in much less time and much more efficiency. It was easy to put together and easy to clean. Yes its a bit pricey, but at the end of the day you get what you pay for. There's 3 different mince grinders and I always use the bigger one, as with the medium and small grinders the meat takes a bit longer to come out and can look mushy as opposed to minced. All in all, I am a more than satisfied customer.

Great and easy to use

Bought this for my Mum for Christmas as she is getting older now and was struggling with her older meat grinder. Most can be very noisy to use, but this one is so much quieter than many others, Mum is so very pleased with this grinder is so many way, it's been easier for her to use, not too heavy, very stable/sturdy on the kitchen worktop whilst making her sausages, very compact for ease of storage. Highly recommend this product, little pricey compared to some, but certainly makes up for in quality, functionability, ease of use, cleaning and storage. Highly recommend this model and brand.

Excellent.....meat grinder, used for the first time recently. I followed the advice from another review "lostindenmark" - many thanks to you , it was extremely helpful !! I would recommend this product - now I can control my own quality of mince eg. no ears, lips or other items - just meat !! Wonderful ;) It was very easy to assemble - easy to use and clean and a comfortable weight and compact making it so easy to store away
