How to Choose a Meat Grinder for Your Home Kitchen

Fresh mince made at home is cleaner, tastier and ready exactly the way you like it — for kebab, kubba, burgers and stuffed dishes. An electric meat grinder makes this quick and easy. This short guide explains what to look for so you can choose the right one.

1. Power and speed

Power (in watts) and output (in kg per minute) tell you how fast a grinder works. A strong full copper motor keeps working smoothly with large amounts of meat and stays quiet. For family use, 2000W and above gives fast, easy mincing.

2. Gearbox and build

The gearbox turns the screw that pushes meat through the plates. A full metal gearbox is the strongest choice for heavy, frequent use; a half-metal gearbox suits regular family use. A die-cast aluminium grinder head, a reverse function and overload protection all help the grinder last longer.

3. Cutting plates and attachments

• Fine, medium and coarse plates: choose the texture for kebab, kubba or burgers.
• Kebab and sausage attachments: shape kubba shells and fill sausages at home.
• Reverse function: frees the screw if meat gets stuck.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make kubba with a meat grinder?

Yes. Both MODEX meat grinders come with a kebab attachment for shaping kubba shells, and fine, medium and coarse plates for the right texture.

What does the reverse function do?

It turns the screw backwards to free meat or sinew that gets stuck, so you can keep working without taking the grinder apart.

Which one should I choose?

For regular family cooking the MG587 is fast and practical. If you mince large amounts often, the MG595 with its full metal gearbox is built for heavier use.
