Nisbets are pretty much set up for commercial catering. I've bought stuff off them before and it's grand, but it might be overkill unless you're doing a *lot* of mincing.

If you have a kenwood chef or some similar stand mixer, you can get a mincer as an attachment. That's what I use myself and it's grand - for a household, you're never going to need more than it can handle. If you don't have one of those, you can always get a hand-grinder off ebay quite cheaply - first result on ebay.ie for "hand mincer" today is this one which would do for anything you'd need in a household. I'd skip the chinese stuff on ebay though, that can often be perfectly fine, but the times when it's not are a pain in the ass.

Also, I wouldn't grind more than a pound of meat ever unless it was immediately going in the freezer; ground meat just doesn't last even in the fridge. And if you're making stuff like hamburgers, grinding fresh that day tastes best.

I have one of those attachments,

What in the name of small furry animals did you feed into it to burn out the motor on a Kenwood Chef? My mothers' one lasted for thirty years, mine hasn't even strained itself after seven, and the only person I know who's worn one out took six years to do it while using it commercially!
