New Style Ergonomic Meat Stuffer/Pusher with Storage for Sausage Tubes We have designed a New Ergonomic Style of Meat Pusher for stuffing your raw meat down into the grinder. Although this grinder will normally just pull the meat down into the auger to be ground if you strip it properly for grinding, you can just use the palm of your hand on the top of this pusher instead of gripping it with your hands when you need to use it. Parts Packed in Meat Stuffer/Pusher In the above photo you can see that the top of the Meat Pusher opens up and you can store your Sausage Tube Set inside of it. If you do store the Sausage Tubes inside this pusher, we suggest that you dry them thoroughly before storing them so condensation does not build up inside the pusher. Meat Claws These Meat Claws are great for Shredding Cooked Meat, but we found that they are Great To Use to hold down a Piece of Meat to cut it into strips or cubes to be ground in this grinder. These Multi-Prong Claws also give you the solid grip that you need for transferring or cutting your favorite hot or slippery foods. And when you want to shred pork or other meats, no problem.
