Reviews
"It was tough to handle, especially when it gets wet and the single needle didn't always fit the bill - either took too long or would clog. I finally ordered the Grill Beast and can highly recommend this fine injector. dual hole needle this past weekend to inject a full packer brisket."
"Love it, fits my hand perfectly."
"Solidly made product, but they were wise enough to include spare O-rings (which are bound to deteriorate over time)."
"The needles are sharp and tapered so they easily puncture the meat."
"The 2 long needles included are just as extreme as is the lifetime warranty. I love to cook, and grill a lot of meals.I cook a lot of meals on a large BGE, and inject a lot of meats."
"This injector set is awesome!"
"To make it easier to inject, add a little bit of cooking oil to the o-rings so the parts slide easily. My first time using it was for Thanksgiving dinner and I'd like to think that it made a difference in terms of moisture and flavor."
"Large capacity syringe, and extra long, very sharp needles make east work of injecting your favorite solutions deep into tissues."

Reviews
"Fractional: ID: 3/8". OD: 1/2". Actual. ID: 0.364". OD: 0.504". If you're wanting to order them online and have them shipped to you McMaster-Carr sells them at the price of $7.26 (plus s/h) for a pack of 50. They're easy to obtain, for cheap, from numerous suppliers."
"I managed to break the needle on the GrillPro 14950 Marinade Injector when I was doing a whole pig that is what pushed me to this item, however in my opinion, this is too large to use on pork butt/shoulder or brisket and I replaced the failed grillpro, this is however is great for whole pig."
"It is a fine thing to see (in this day and age of throwaway junk) an excellent product, designed well, manufactured to last, and at a fair price."
"It works well, the primary needle is a standard injection shape and works great."
"For a medium sized bird, about 16 pounds....a stick of salted butter, 1/2 teaspoon ground sage, 1 tablespoon of McCormick Poultry Seasoning (Thyme, Sage, Marjoram, Rosemary, Black Pepper and Nutmeg.)."
"It will last for some time to come but with those parts and issues, it may or may not last longer."
"the needles are THICK, which it came with two sizes instead of 2 diff styles."
"Within the first few weeks one of the injector tips came apart, looked to be a manufacturing defect."

"I think me and this guy are gonna be filling up meat with sweet juices and marinades for years to come at least if I can keep my brother from stealing it from me. I've seen the way he was looking at it. I was trying to force it in. I like to mix with butter sometimes or even butter oil mix and if you inject into cold/cool meats it will solidify and stop up. What I am talking about is injecting into meats that say you are going to soak marinade too so you don't want them warm up only to put back in fridge or on ice w/e to finish up the outside marinade."

Best Meat Grinders

STX International Model STX-3000-TF Turboforce Electric Meat Grinder & Sausage Stuffer Kit - Size #12 - 3 Grinding Plates, 3 Blades, 3 Sausage Stuffing Tubes & Kubbe Attachment
The STX TURBOFORCE 3000 SERIES Meat Grinder is BUILT TO LAST and packs some VERY HEAVY DUTY OUTPUT POWER & TORQUE!!! This Meat Grinder is intended to Grind Meat - This Grinder Will NOT Grind Bones.
Reviews
"The first conclusion: the most important feature of a meat grinder is the motor power. This STX has a powerful 1,800 watts motor, more than enough to do all of the duties of a home kitchen (and maybe even of a small restaurant). The ground meat texture results very similar to that from a supermarket grinder. We didn't notice that, and what went to the dishwasher was damaged: the shining was gone and those parts became some rough to touch. So, I contacted the seller (The Mercantile Station) and asked them the price of the replacing parts, since I would buy them. What a pleasant surprise: they promptly sent me an email asking for my address, and they kindly offered to send the parts for free (despite, I must stress, the damage was caused by me). IMPORTANT NOTE: a few months after we bought our STX, the motor was improved to 2,000 watts, i.e, an increase of about 11%."
"Put a bit of already ground meat back into hopper to push through the last piece of steak so it doesn't get stuck - push down with pusher."
"Being a machinist I took a good sharpening stone and dressed the disks and blades, they broke in perfectly. Determining the right amount of tension on the disk retaining ring is not exact science."
"My mom seems to love this thing and grinds everything in it, mainly meats and vegetables."
"While this machine does produce a loud whirring sound while operating, it is a very efficient machine and gets the job done quickly!"
"This device is purple, lavender. The kitchen are had a solide fit for the screw and the housing."
"Easy assembly, good fitting parts except the meat trough is loose when in use and has no way in which to secure it."

Best Meat & Poultry Tenderizers

Jaccard Supertendermatic 48-Blade Tenderizer
Original multi-blade hand-held meat tenderizer. Penetrating knives create tiny heat channels within the meat^Reduces cooking times by up to 40% resulting in much more juicy and flavorful meat (as the cooking heat has less time to dry out the meat)^Provides pathway for marinades to be absorbed deeper into the meat....increasing absorption by up to 600%^Allows heat to penetrate the meat evenly across varying thickness to prevent under / over cooking.
Reviews
"To those who mentioned the Jaccard squished their meat, made it bleed, or simply didn't work, I really think it comes down to how it's used and not the product itself. On a more tender piece of meat (i.e. strip or sirloin) I just do 2 passes."
"Jaccard is the original manufacturer of this as well as the makers of the machines the butcher uses to make "Cube Steak" as they call it in Michigan or "Chicken Fried" in Texas."
"Still eating tough steaks, chicken or pork chops; well whose fault is that?"
"The meat chews like a ribeye, no exaggeration."
"After using the Jaccard, I put it in the top shelf of my dishwasher, (as per instructions), and it came out perfectly clean. I think that the Jaccard would be useful to just about anybody who wants tender meat, but would be especially nice as a wedding shower or new home gift."
"Note that for thick cuts of meat, you'll get a good forearm workout, because the blades don't easily retract after you push them down unless they go all the way through."
"I have a Jaccard, they are great, so it's a shame that Amazon is selling this junk as the real deal."
"But as I have to remove the cartridge to properly clean it, and it's a few years old now, I figured to replace it with this simpler no cartridge model."
