FG-350 Food Grinder
1. For sausages, you will need to purchase casings (either natural or synthetic). Typically
they are available in 2-3 foot lengths.
2. If purchased dry, casings should be soaked in a mixture of 2 cups cold water to 1
tablespoon vinegar for about 30 minutes before stuffing.
3. Select the Sausage Cone based on the size of the casing to be used.
4. Meats must be ground and seasoned before making sausage links.
To stuff casings:
1. Gather all of casing over Sausage Cone, except the last
four inches.
2. If you have difficulty fitting the casing end on the Cone,
hold case end under running water faucet, then slide
over end of cone (Fig. 6).
2. Place seasoned meat into Food Hopper and turn Switch
on.
3. Use Food Pusher to push seasoned meat into Grinder
Head. Stuff casing loosely, as some casings will expand
during cooking.
4. As casing begins to fill, tie securely at end with a string.
5. Distribute meat through casing and twist into links as it fills to obtain the desired size and
shape.
6. Turn Switch off when complete or when casing is full.
7. When you have finished using the sausage stuffing, following the cleaning instructions on
page 8. The Sausage Cones and Base Plate may be washed in a dishwasher is desired.
After stuffing
, grind some fat to avoid leaving meat in the funnel.

use sausage within a short time. Without salt, it may be stored for as long as 6 months in
your freezer.
