They're ok for small batch stuff. For big projects I get out the power
grinder. Otherwise my arm might fall off.  Bv)=

I tried many versions - including one called "Michigan Poutine" which
used a fairly awful chilli con carnage w/beans as the gravy. That was
a "one and done".  Bv)=

I really like the regular poutine w/cheese curds. Fires w/gravy (AKA
"wets") not so much.

I like and use my patty press. Especially when making bratwurst ptties
for breakfast use or as 'substitute' burgers.
