Besides the production of sprits the meat preparation is actually explicitly mentioned in the instruction manual of LURCH 10250. Fat and sinews should be removed previously and cut the meat into small cubes - ready! Many ingredients that are in the ground beef (onion, spices, leek, garlic, etc.), you can fill me together the meat and spin. This saves labor. The gear reduction of the rotary crank reduces the effort considerably, worm and locking ring are "only" made of plastic, but it makes a solid and high quality impression. The crank is only attached and removed easily again before cleaning the unit. However, we can make no statement about the long-term durability of the items. The manufacturer, the Lurch AG, to our knowledge, but also sent individual parts, if you asks by email.
The large-scale (moistened) squeegee works on a smooth surface and good - with safety lever tilted back - permanently. Our porous natural wood countertop that does not work, but on the (cold !!!) ceramic hob sits the rotating Wolf as screwed. After work "land" the 4 items (rotating spiral, lock ring, perforated disc and rotary blade) in a lukewarm Spülwasserbad. The rotary Wolf itself headlong into it provided with the transparent funnel part. So the highly protein-rich meat residues have no chance to dry, and after slight use a bottle brush everything is clean and ready for use again. Lurch also permits the cleaning in the dishwasher. Either way - the transparent gear housing accumulates during cleaning always something water but with a few shaking movements can be carried out again.
Those who wonder, the product at the time (July / August 2012), although to find the AMAZON, but not on the manufacturer's site on the Internet: do not worry! This is not a discontinued model! The company stands for the angular Wolf as seasonal product - especially in autumn and winter is his opinion again violently "cranked".
We also in the summer already our fun with the unit!
