FINAL DAY 3: Appalachian Heritage Old Timey Hog Killing...Seasoning Bacon.. How to Make Sausage

What happens here

The main piece of equipment for sausage making is the 'General Model D' sausage grinder. It is set up with a 3/16-inch plate for grinding. The presenter demonstrates how the meat is fed into the top hopper, a twirling mechanism pulls it through, and the ground sausage exits from the front. He also shows various attachments available for sausage grinders, which can be used to make different products like hot dogs or jerky. He mentions that smaller, consumer-grade attachments are available for common kitchen appliances like the KitchenAid stand mixer, which he has used in the past. Links to suitable grinders and attachments are typically provided by the presenter for those interested in purchasing equipment.

Goal: Understand the operation and versatility of the sausage grinder.
