Homemade Sausage Making

Might be a goofy question, but will a meat grinder crush ice with damaging it or making the blades dull? Unfortunately, I currently don't have a fridge with a crusher attachement and will be needing a batch for emulsifying. I have a Lem Big Bite #12.

Chris-
I did see a manufactures video on grinders that said not to grind ice, I don't recall the reason why. Blenders work fine for crushed ice

Yeah, thanks Bob. I think I'll go to the thrift store and pick up a blender, so that if I blow the motor, it won't be a big deal.

You can also check for an ice crusher

Yes, such a blender is much better than an immersion blender. The smoothie function breaks all the ice cubes in a minute, and I only need to press a button. It is also easy to clean, and I usually use its own self-cleaning program.

i have a vita mix for quite a few years now theres a video for ice and also bought the dry grinder container wich I use for grinding pellets , I called them before I bought it they told me they use a avacoto pit to demonstrate turns it into powder ( the blades make the pellets go opposite )
they are Quite a machine

Not sure about ice but don't run whole kernel corn through a grinder or if you do whatever you do don't stop the grinder and start it back up. It'll grind corn just fine while its running but the sudden start will snap your blade in an instant.

corn? seriously? why, how?

Quicker more efficient fermentation.
