One of the questions we often get is, can a food processor grind meat? The answer to this question is that while a food processor can break down meat, it cannot grind it. By using a food processor you will quickly lose particle definition in the meat and you will overstress the proteins. There is a reason we recommend that you grind your meat twice, the first grind should be through a large 3/8” plate to prevent the fats in the meat from smearing.
