A Little History if you Don't Mind! Our Original STX Turboforce 3000 Series Electric Meat Grinder was Introduced to the USA Market in 2009 and we are currently selling an average of over 25,000 of these grinders every year. During all of the years we have been selling this grinder, we have had customers suggest some improvements and/or additional options that they would like to see added to this meat grinder. One Suggested Improvement was a High Capacity Meat Tray and we really liked that idea so we have changed our older 1 Lb. to a new 3 Lb Meat Tray. We have also added a couple of New Accessories of our own which you will see below. With these new improvements and additions, we are now offering the New "Classic Edition" of our Turboforce Electric Meat Grinder. Check Out the Following Additions and Enhancements. Masticating Juicer Head: With the Masticating Juicer Head Attachment you can make Fresh and Delicious Juice in Minutes! High Capacity Meat Tray: This Polished Food Grade Aluminum Tray Measures: 2" D x 9.75" L x 7.25" W and Easily holds more than 3 Lbs. of Meat. 2 Durable Meat Claws for Shredding, Handling, and Carving Meat: Shred your favorite meats in seconds or use the claws to pick up hot foods without burning your hands. Use the multi-prong claws to help carve hot foods or stabilize food for carving. Burger-Slider Press with Waxed Transfer Sheets: Make perfect burgers or sliders every time with your own Burger-Slider Press. We have even thrown in waxed transfer sheets to allow you to easily move your burger patties to the grill or place in the freezer. A New Ergonomic Style of Meat Pusher for stuffing your raw meat down into the grinder. Although this grinder will normally just pull the meat down into the auger to be ground if you strip it properly for grinding, you can just use the palm of your hand on the top of this new pusher instead of gripping it with your hands when you need to use it. You can even store your Sausage Tubes inside of this new Meat Pusher. Now you have the Ultimate Home Grinding Package with the STX Turboforce "Classic 3000 Series" Meat Grinder!
