Cuisinart SM-MG Review
Cuisinart SM-MG Review by R. Cane Questions (Seattle)
This grinder is replacing a KA unit that, after 32 years of honest, reliable service, has developed so many cracks in its plastic components that it has lost the ability to remain sanitary.
The Cuisinart unit has a number of advantages: a reasonably large tray, multiple cutting blades, fairly simple mechanism for inserting it into the stand mixer, and a solid metal shaft and housing. It works well, neither faster nor slower than its predecessor. I'm unaccustomed to the fineness of the fine blade, and discovered that it's not alway advantageous to grind as finely as possible. For some purposes (making hot dogs or forced meat, for instance) it's perfect; for a less emulsified texture, it renders the meat too sticky. This is clearly a cook's issue, not a grinder issue.
Two design flaws stand in the way of my giving the grinder 5 stars:
- First, the metal housing is cast aluminum. It is great for avoiding the cracks I found in the plastic equivalent, but it's unwise to put it in the dishwasher (Cuisinart tells you specifically NOT to) because the causticity of dishwasher detergent pits the surfaces of the metal. I would prefer to be able to use a dishwasher to increase the chance of sanitary equipment, and wonder why it would not have been possible to make a dishwasher-safe alloy. Perhaps it would have been cost prohibitive. Purchaser beware: you've got to like using brushes in hot soapy water to keep this grinder clean. On the other hand, the tray component is plastic and easily removable, and it is dishwasher safe. That's the one component I would feel comfortable hand washing, so I can't win.
- Second, the plastic pusher is problematic on a couple of levels. First, it cleverly houses the sausage horns. To be a housing, however, it has to be hollow, and to have a removable cap. Both these characteristics make it less useful as a pusher -- it doesn't deliver as much force as I would like, and I've got to find something to do with the horns while I'm washing the pusher, leading to an improved chance of losing them. Second, it fits too snugly in the barrel of the grinder. If the meat is at all greasy, or you haven't chilled down both the meat and the grinder sufficiently before use, you get a strong suction effect in the barrel. I've found that the pusher is not pushing the meat down forcefully enough, and is sucking some of the remnants back up the barrel. I can solve this easily enough by creating a wooden or metal pusher; but at the price, I shouldn't have to
All in all, I feel this is a well-engineered and cleverly designed piece of equipment that did not go through an adequate amount of end user testing (or pay enough attention to user feedback if it was tested). It would have profited from practicality over cleverness in a few critical run-time use cases.

Cuisinart SM-MG Review by Carnivore
For Christmas 2011, I purchased a Cusinart mixer for my wife. But...only after seeing on the attachments list a meat grinder. I am a hunter, hence the pen name Carnivore. I find that it works more then expected. After all, it is somewhat small in size, but not in stature. I have used the big grinders. They truly have their purpose. But, this meat grinder has never clogged up...or been a disappointment. I have made a ton of hamburger and all varities of sausage using this grinder. It works exceptionally well on wild game as well as beef. The bottom line is that I would heartily recommend it. What I have learned from this grinder is that it will do any job that I ask of it. After all, you can only make so much sausge in a day...
