Waring Pro MG-800 Professional Meat Grinder, Brushed Stainless Steel Review

I am a hunter who butchers 8-10 deer per year and make my own burger & sausage. I have previously used "hand crank" grinders and smallish electric grinders. While both will do the job for a deer or two, due to the volume I am processing it was time for an "upgrade".
When I made the decision to buy my own grinder, I did a lot of research to determine which model would best suit my needs at an affordable price. Based on the features, motor power, quality and price I decided to try the Waring MG800. If this didn't work, my next step would be a used commercial grinder.
Let me tell you, I am impressed ! This grinder is everything advertised and more. The construction is rugged and the components are well designed. My first night I ground and vaccuum packed 20 lbs of sausage in 1/2 hour (only 5-10 minutes were actually spent grinding). The grinder never clogged and you can literally feed the hopper with your hand, the screw is so well designed that it actually draws the meat down the throat without the use of the "pusher" that is provided. Clean up is a snap due to the ease of disassembly and cast stainless housing. Power is more than adequate, and with the 5 year motor warranty you can't go wrong.
Two things to note, the blades and plates are carbon steel and must be thoroughly washed and dried before storage or they will rust (but this is also true with $1000 grinders). Also, don't be fooled by people advertising 850, 1000 or even 1200 watt plastic grinders on E-bay. This grinder may be 450 watts, but it is a true 450. The "1000 watt" grinders are actually more like 200 watt in use, so be careful.

Chef's Choice International Professional Food Slicer Review

If you've ever owned or tried a "home" food slicer, you know they don't really work that well.This one does.
When I first got it, I tried slicing several items -- Pepperoni, bulk cheese (Cojack) and two different kinds of bread --regular "store" bread and a artisan loaf.The pepperoni came out in perfect, exactly the same thickness slices. The thickness knob did not slip, and the blade cut cleanly.My Cojack was perfect for grilled cheese sandwiches, and I got three even slices out of one slice of regular bread without tearing the bread! (That was a test to see what I could get away with). The artisan bread sliced perfectly for crostini.I sliced potatoes for potato chips, and they were all the same thickness,(actually, "thinness") and perfect for frying.
This aluminum and stainless steel German slicer is worth every penny you pay for it.The thickness adjustment knob stays where it's set, and the settings are repeatable, there's room under the blade for a large platter, the instant-on/off switch works perfectly, the motor is quiet and powerful, it's easy to clean and the slicer works exactly the way you always wanted a slicer to work--i.e., just like the one at the deli!
If you have the need, and room, for this rather large slicer, go for it!It's worth it.

Camerons Apple, Cherry and Pecan Wood Chips Trio Review

This three pack is just the thing for using the Cameron smoker.
Based on the amount of chips to use in the smoker's cookbook are a good buy. I smoked chicken with the cherry and it was great! Can't wait to try pulled porK with the pecan wood!

I was given the smoker as a Christmas present and for our family it is just the right size.I have used it in thehouse and while no smoke gets into the house the smell of the wood chips adds to the dining experience.

The Christmas package came with some small wood samples but I like to grill with fruit flavor woods in the summer, my birthday gift was the fruit woods.These were shipped quickly as promised (came on a Saturday, promised on the following Monday).

The packaging was just about right too, not to much extra and easy to get into but done so nothing would spill or get damaged.

I am very pleased with both of these products and can't wait to try it outdoors but may still open the smoker in the house for that great smell while enjoying the great taste as well.

Chef's Choice 630 International Gourmet Electric Food Slicer Review

I used to work in a deli and have used my fair share of commercial slicers.When I decided to buy one for home use, I knew that I didn't want one of the large, cumbersome slicers that I had used in the past, and that this would mean some tradeoffs in terms of power and quality.After taking a long look around, I finally decided on the CC-630, and I'm glad I did.I believe this unit offers an excellent compromise between commercial power and everyday practicality.

Please don't misunderstand... you don't want this slicer if you're looking to open a deli or restaurant.You can feel the slicer slow down as it cuts through denser foods (like meat and cheese) that the commercial slicers would just pass right through.

This little unit is best suited to the home user who wants to be able to cut enough cold cuts for a day's use - say packing lunches for the family.It's also great for slicing up roasts, BONELESS turkey/chicken, cheeses, and vegetables.Whatever you slice, slice only what you will consume immediately - or at least in the next day or so.That's the secret to those deli sandwiches... cut everything fresh for the best flavor.

Of surprise to me was how well this unit handles bread.It needs to be a fairly flexible bread (no cornbread/biscuits) as it has to bend slightly to accomodate the shape of the slicer.If you make your own bread, you can now slice it perfectly at nearly any thickness.

Just be sure to let anything that you make yourself cool completely before slicing.A warm roast or turkey breast just isn't rigid enough to hold itself together against the moving blade.If you're looking to use this for your thanksgiving dinner then you'd be better off investing in a good sharp carving set (not the serrated kind, but the kind you can resharpen).For thanksgiving leftovers, the slicer is ideal.Just don't do anything silly like trying to cut through bones as they can get caught in the moving blade... a serious safety hazard.

Why only 4 stars?Well, this unit would rate 5 in my opinion if not for two issues.First, a safety concern: the unit has seperate on/off and thickness controls.So what?Well, that means that you can turn the unit off and still leave the blade in an exposed cutting position (and at thinner settings, this is almost imperceptable visually).This can lead to serious injury should someone try to clean the unit thinking that the blade is safely shielded.Not a good idea if you have children around, or even if you don't.A simple solution is just to get in the habit of turning the thickness to zero immediately before or after turning the slicer off.

My other issue is that the manual says that no part of the slicer is dishwasher safe.This is extremely annoying as there are several removable non-electronic parts that are difficult to clean by hand.It seems absurd that the heavy duty plastic and stainless steel that these parts are made of would not hold up to a household dishwasher.

Overall, I find this to be an excellent slicer and highly recommend for home use.Much better than the cheaper underpowered models that are nearly impossible to clean properly.
