My New Bazooka

Before, we minced our meat by hand using large cleaver on a chopping board. Imagine chopping meat of 10 kilos a day manualy everyday? Tiring right. so we decided to invest an electronic mincer and it does help Big Time. Minced meat has alot of purposes especially when making beef patties, sausages.
