Do. Not. Evar. Use. A. Blender. To. Mince. Meat.

I made the mistake of buying my own meat to mince, thinking I could mince it in my blender (which is powerful enough to crush ice).

Wrong.

Unless you have a truly unblemished piece of meat, there is gristle in it. Those white, long stringy and very tough (when raw) pieces of flesh. Some got caught in the spindle of the blades and caused the spinning to slow and periodically cut in the safety feature (to prevent over heating).

Cleaning it up is a bitch as well. It just disappears into tiny crevices which you have to tease out with needles and such.
