When was the meat grinder invented?

The first meat grinder was invented in the nineteenth century by a German revolutionist, Karl Friedrich Christian Ludwig Freiherr Drais von Sauerbronn, also known as Karl Drais.

The earliest form of the meat grinder was hand cranked and forced meat into a metal plate which had several small holes, resulting in long, thin strands of meat. As time passed, the hand-cranked machines became powered by electricity.

The electric meat grinders we now know today can process several pounds of meat easily and uniformly. Current models of electric meat grinders have different attachments, such as sausage, kebbe, and juicing attachments which have really broadened the way meat grinders are used.
