OPEN COUNTRY® Food Grinder - A Healthier Diet
• With your own OPEN COUNTRY® Food Grinder, you control the ingredients.
You control the amount of fats, salts and other additives, for a healthier diet.
Chunky sandwich spreads, savory appetizers, hearty soups, relishes, homemade
sausage, other meat dishes. . . even cakes are so easy to make.
• You can make sausages out of any foods. Most butcher shops offer casings,
which you purchase fresh, just before you are ready to grind.
• Your OPEN COUNTRY® Food Grinder is intended for processing relatively
small quantities. Meat needs to be cut into relatively small chunks and gristle
should be removed or it will likely clog the Feed Screw assembly. If grinder
clogs, you can easily clear the Feed tube by pressing the REVERSE switch
button.

Grinding Tips
During extended periods of use, fats from meats can build up inside the grinding
head causing motor to strain and slow. If this happens turn off grinder and unplug
cord from outlet. Disassemble and clean grinding head and feed screw.
Fine Cutting Plate - Use for nely ground texture, such as spreads, baby food
or hamburger.
Medium Cutting Plate - Use for ground meat in soups or relishes
Course Cutting Plate - Use for coarsely ground texture, such as nuts,
vegetables or ground meat for chili.
Raw Meat and Fish - These items will have a minimum loss of juices if
thoroughly chilled before grinding. When grinding larger quantities, fats can
build up inside the Grinder Head. If this occurs, disassemble and wash parts
in soapy water, then reassemble. After grinding meat you can clean the Feed
Screw by grinding a slice of bread.
Remove all bones, tough tendons, nut shells, etc. before grinding.
Nuts - Use the Course Cutting Plate and feed nuts into Grinder Head slowly.
Whenever possible, alternate with other ingredients, such as dried fruits or
vegetables.
Bread Crumbs - Best if using dry or toasted bread. Make sure all parts are
free of moisture before starting.

Sausage Making Tips
• Pork Butt is a good selection of meat for sausage making because of the
ideal proportions of lean and fat.
• After stufng you can clean the Feed Screw by grinding a slice of bread.
• Stufng is made a lot easier if you consider it a two-person job. Prick the
casing with a pin to allow the air to escape while stufng.
• Fresh sausage is readily perishable and has a short shelf life of 3-4 days
at refrigerator temperature. Up to 4-6 months in freezer.
• Average weight of fresh sausage (8 inch link) is 6 ounces.

Sausage Maker Assembly
1. Casings (natural or synthetic) are available in some grocery stores, most
butcher shops, meat packing plants and butcher supply houses. Local
butchers or giant supermarkets that make their own sausage are your
best bets.
2. Meats must be coursely ground and seasoned before making sausage links.
3. Select Sausage Cone based on size of casing to be used.
4. Before stufng, insert two ngers into one end of casing to open, hold
under the faucet and let water run the entire length. This will wash away
some of the packing salt. If you don’t clean well, you’re sausage will turn
out saltier than when you tested the seasoning.
To Stuff Casings:
1. Gather all of casing over Sausage Cone, except the last 4 inches.
2. Place seasoned meat into Food Hopper an dpress Switch “ON” (I).
3. Use Pushrod to push seasoned meat into Grinder Head. As you push mix
through the Grinder, it will stuff your casing. NOTE: Stuff casing loosely,
as some sausages will expand during cooking.
4. As casing begins to ll, tie-off the end with
string.
5. Distribute meat through casing and twist
into links as it lls to obtain the desired size
adn shape.
6. When nished or dacing is full, press Switch
“OFF” (O).
7. Unplug unit from electrical outlet and clean
thoroughly by following cleaning instructions
given in this book.
