Built Quality and Design

First, consider the appearance. This Cuisinart meat grinder comes with a compact and shiny appearance. You can keep this grinder anywhere in your kitchen.

The auger is another concern. Since the auger is made of thick stainless steel, you don’t need to think about it.

Reverse function

The reverse function is an awesome addition to the latest meat grinder. Like the other premium meat grinder, this Cuisinart Meat Grinder comes with a Reverse function.

That means you can rotate the auger in reverse while necessary.
