Lem Products #12 Big Bite S/S Electric Grinder
$625.86
The Lem Products #12 Big Bite S/S Electric Grinder is a mid-sized stainless steel meat grinder built for serious home and small-scale processing. If you've outgrown a smaller grinder but don't need industrial capacity, the #12 splits the difference—it delivers genuine throughput (11 lbs. per minute) without the footprint or power demand of heavier equipment. The 0.75 HP motor and stainless steel construction mean you're grinding game, sausage, and burger blends day after day without rust creeping into the works.
This grinder comes ready to work: three stainless steel grinding plates (4.5mm, 10mm, and stuffing), a stainless steel knife, and three plastic stuffing tubes (5/8", 1", and 1 3/8" OD) cover most grinding and sausage-making tasks right out of the box. The 2" head opening accepts substantial pieces of meat, reducing prep time. A 6-foot power cord keeps things simple—no extension cord nonsense—and the on/off switch sits under a sanitary cover to keep grinding debris out of the works. The storage drawer handles accessories when you're done for the day.
Built to last, the #12 carries a 5-year warranty and meets ETL and UL sanitary standards, so you're not just buying a grinder; you're buying peace of mind for years of reliable processing. Whether you're processing your elk harvest, making bulk sausage, or keeping a steady supply of ground meat in the freezer, this is the workhorse that earns its place on the counter.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the grind rate, and how long does it take to process large quantities?
The #12 Big Bite grinds approximately 11 lbs. per minute, making it suitable for processing game, bulk sausage, and other meat grinding tasks efficiently. For large harvests or commercial-style batches, this capacity sits between smaller hobby grinders and industrial equipment.
Does it come with sausage-making attachments?
Yes. The grinder includes three plastic stuffing tubes in 5/8", 1", and 1 3/8" outside diameters, so you can make fresh sausage right away. It's also compatible with several optional Lem attachments if you want to expand capability later.
Is stainless steel really necessary for a meat grinder?
Yes. Stainless steel prevents rust and corrosion from meat juices and moisture, keeping the grinder sanitary and extending its life significantly. Since this is food-contact equipment you'll use repeatedly, the stainless construction is worth the investment—especially with a 5-year warranty backing it.
What power setup do I need, and can I use an extension cord?
The #12 comes with a 6-foot power cord. The manufacturer does not recommend using an extension cord, so plan to locate it near a standard outlet on a dedicated circuit.
