I’ve got the TC12 that states 550W but then there’s the Kenwoods etc that say 1800 W etc. How does that work? Is it just clever advertising? I know for a fact mine will eat any of the kenwoods etc but just curious around the stated wattage.

Hi @McNotty. I can give you the basic rundown on what goes on with the Wattage rating. Basically there are 2 types of rating. Continuous power (wattage) and peak power. The high ratings you see on domestic machines are a peak power rating the wattage on the Hakka/ZeroPak machine is continuous power. The continuous power output of the machine is what (no pun intended) really matters. Peak power is in my opinion smoke and mirrors. There may be some clever electrician who can elaborate on my summary but I am pretty sure that covers the difference laymans terms.

A faster rpm on a mincer is not always a good thing (apart from annoying the missus) slower rpm does not create heat as much as a faster rpm. The heat will be transferred to the meat which can be a bad thing particularly if you are then going on to make sausages. The cooler the mix the better.

Hi mate just checking if he took you up on your offer, if not I'm pretty keen.

Everest mincers are very good, not cheep but if you do enough of it they are worth it. They use a double cut system.
