Mincers Manual

A hand mincer clamps to the bench, takes no power, and will still be working when the grandchildren inherit it. For a household batch it is genuinely the better tool, because you feel the meat going through and you notice straight away if the plate is loading up.

The Rigamonti hand meat mincer is the domestic classic, tinned cast iron, the one most Italian kitchens in Melbourne already have a version of. The Garhe nickel plated manual mincer through Fabio Leonardi is a step up in finish and holds an edge on the knife longer. For serious volume by hand, the Trespade size 32 cast body is the big one, and size 32 means it takes the same plates and knives as the larger electric machines, so parts are easy.

Size is the thing to get right. A number 22 handles a few kilos comfortably. A 32 will take a whole pig shoulder without you leaning on it, and it is what most families running a proper salami day end up with.

Plates and knives wear and they are meant to be replaced. The mincer knives and plates and the funnels and accessories are stocked separately so a good machine keeps going.

If you would rather have a motor, the electric mincers are next door. Try both at Laverton North or Epping.
