Stuffing Process

1. Place a bowl or tray beneath the stuffing tube to catch the finished sausage.
2. Turn the KitchenAid Stand Mixer to a low speed (typically Speed 4 is recommended for stuffing).
3. Feed the prepared meat mixture into the Food Grinder's feed tube. The grinder will push the meat through the stuffer and into the casing.
4. Come il casing fills, gently guide it off the stuffing tube. Use your hands to support the sausage and ensure it fills evenly without air pockets. Avoid overfilling, which can cause casings per scoppiare.
5. Once the desired length of sausage is stuffed, turn off the mixer.
6. Twist the sausage into links of your preferred size. You can twist in alternating directions to create distinct links.
7. Tie off the ends of the sausage.

For optimal results, consider working with a partner: one person feeds the meat into the grinder, and the other guides and links the sausage.

Risoluzione dei problemi

If you encounter issues while using your Sausage Stuffer Kit, refer to the following common solutions:

• Casing difficult to load onto tube: Ensure the stuffing tube is lubricated with cooking oil or Crisco. If using natural casings, ensure they have been soaked sufficiently to make them pliable.
• Air pockets in sausage: This can occur if the casing is not guided smoothly or if the meat is fed too quickly. Try reducing the mixer speed and gently compressing the sausage as it exits the tube to remove air.
• Casings bursting: Riempimento eccessivo del casing is the most common cause. Reduce the amount of meat being fed or slow down the mixer speed. Ensure casings are properly prepared and not dried out.
• Meat not feeding properly: Ensure the meat is very cold and cut into appropriate sizes for the Food Grinder. Verify that the Food Grinder's screw cap is tight and that the grinding blade (if used for initial grinding) is correctly installed. For stuffing, the grinding plate and blade should be removed from the Food Grinder.
• Slow stuffing speed: The KitchenAid Stand Mixer operates at a controlled speed. For optimal stuffing, use a consistent low speed (e.g., Speed 4). Keeping the meat very cold can also affect flow; ensure it's cold but not frozen solid.
