I bought a lidi mincer a couple of years ago. Wasn't impressed at all. I got it to mince tripe for the dogs, it couldn't handle tripe. I then used it got mincing meat, wasn't much good at that either! Kept getting clogged! I threw it out recently!

have a look at scobies direct .

I got this one and it works great. It may seem a bit pricey but I've had it for about eight months now and it is still going strong. Definitely heavy enough for deer as I use it on beef mostly.

Daithi,

Good man. Hope it works out for ya. Just ensure mincer doesnt overheat by taking it handy when feeding it or your mince will end up half cooked which isnt exactly ideal. Im not familiar with the Lidl mincer but some of the smaller ones can heat up quite quickly.

Thats why y acan't bate the big ones :D

Mincer is a great investment for a shooter of deer.

I still have burgers from a big stag a few years back.

Minced him top to toe.
I used sage oregano onion and salt and pepper in the mix and a touch of corn flour

Yeah, Ideal world we would all have industrial ones that would skin and butcher for us too!

There should be a rating somewhere on the mincer anyway, kg/hour or something to that effect. Worth being aware of it. Made the mistake before of overloading with a previous mincer I had.

My first mincer was a hand mincer my da bought at the Spring show Circa 1970

Thoses smaller mincers don't like mincing the connective tissue on meat, thats the silvery skin that holds the muscle blocks together.
If you can cut it off before you mince the meat you will be a lot better off.
I usually try and lay it flat on a board and slide the knife along it much like skinning a fish fillet.

How did you get on?
I see my local Lidl still had plenty of mincers for sale, I don't shoot deer but I shoot plenty of pigeon, rabbit, pheasant. I'd imagine the lidl mincer would be ideal for pigeon breast.

Anyone make pigeon breast burgers or rabbit burgers, opinions?

The Mother has a Kenwood Chef, and ya can bung all the bits in the diswasher which is very handy and hygenic.

Would any yee guys par freeze before mincing?
say 1 hour in freezer?

I did it once to quite good effect

Always. Firms the meat up so the meat gets cut to mince rather than squashed to mince. Less cell damage that way, so juicier mince.
But I wouldn't mince up a large amount of meat at once without having a chest freezer (or one of the american stand-up freezers) to hand, it goes bad far too fast (too much surface area). Primals, steaks and other cuts will keep far longer.

Ya can't bate the mammy's, although my old gran god rest her could pluck turkeys quicker than most could say Christmas :D
