Rust on meat grinder, safe?

[Sam Nickaby]

Our hand crank meat grinder was half soaked overnight in water.
Now the meat grinder have a buildup of rust around the iron cutting
parts. How do I get rid of the rusts and should I continue using it for
food processing?

Thanks

Scrub with an SOS pad or a Scotch Brite and keep on grinding. No real harm
done to the grinder or to you.

Its how we been getting iron in our diet for years. Its no big deal just
clean it and proceed.

As others said, a little iron won't hurt you :-). Running some fat
through the grinder will help get rid of it, as will lightly coating
iron parts with vegetable oil, which is regular maintenance after each
use, anyway.

If the surface is rough enough, it will trap bacteria. Clean the rust
off with Scotchbrite, steel wool or wire brush. In the future, wash
right away, rinse with very hot water, dry right away. Rust is not a
source for dietary iron, and if the rusted portion has some sort of
plating, be sure slivers of the plating are not coming off.

Best rust-remover I ever tried was cherry kool-ade. Mix it raw, with
no sugar. Soak the parts for a couple hours or overnight. Rust falls
right off.
