1. To ensure the unit is o, press
STOP. Plug the unit into the
outlet.
2. Place a shallow bowl or plate
under the Grinder/Feeder Head
to catch ground food.
3. Press ON (Full speed) or HALF

TIP: Cutting tough
meat into uniform
pieces no larger than
1-inch cubes helps avoid
food jams. See Food

SAUSAGE MAKING HINTS & TIPS
To Prepare Sausage:
1. Grind meat into a large mixing bowl, using medium Cutting Plate as
directed.
2. Add recipe spices and herbs all at once to the meat. Lightly allow the
meat to fall through your hands once or twice, mixing very loosely (this
helps keep meat from becoming tough).
3. Run the spiced meat mixture through the UltraGrind Turbo again, using
the medium Cutting Plate. Chill for 45 minutes. Keep the meat chilled
while making sausage to avoid melting the fat in the process, destroying
the sausage.
4. If using animal casing, rinse as directed to remove salt. Place one
opening of a long, very damp casing tube over the Stung Funnel and
gently pull the remainder of the casing onto the funnel. Allow an
eight-inch portion of casing to drape over the front of the funnel.
5. Select Half power and move the meat through the Grinder/Feeder Head
to the funnel. Just as the meat reaches the end of the funnel tube, press
Stop. Tightly tie the end of the casing close to the meat mixture. Cut o
the remaining casing.
6. Press Half power and continue allowing the meat to ll the casing, slowly
moving the casing through as the meat continues to move. Do not
allow the casing to pack tightly; allow some room for tying o individual
sausages and expansion during cooking. When meat is through, press
Stop. Allow a few inches of additional casing on the end and tie securely.
7. Form individual sausages as desired, twist and tie tightly to separate.
Use a pin or sharp fork to prick each sausage a few times before
cooking. Refrigerate until cooking. Thoroughly cook according to recipe
directions.
