The secret to healthy home-made mincemeat

Freshly-ground meat that has been handled with five-star treatment is the secret ingredient to an epic recipe! When you grind your own meat at home, you have total control over the quality of meat that goes into the appliance – you can pick the freshest meat possible, you know where the beef is coming from, you can be assured no cheap cuts get mixed in, plus you can decide on the perfect fat meat to fat ratio. Seems all too basic but when you put only the best of everything to make your own minced meat, your dish will taste fuller, fresher and more satisfying.

In addition to achieving better tasting meat, grinding at home is no doubt healthier. You can choose to make minced meat that is low in fat, totally fat-free, grass-fed, or organic, the choice is really up to you. When you grind your own meat, with your own appliance, you eliminate a load of known – and unknown – food dangers, bacteria, slime and what-have-yous. Doing it right in your own kitchen, which you can keep as safe and clean as possible, is a big plus, too. And who knows if your grocer keeps the store grinder sparkly clean all the time? You can do that with your own meat grinder as Panasonic offers theirs with nifty cleaning tools for hygienic food preparation every time.
