A mincer is a kitchen appliance for grinding and mincing meat or fish.

A meat mincer typically consists of a large hopper to feed meat into, a vertical screw to pull the meat along and begin ripping it, a blade to cut it and a perforated plate which the meat is forced through and hence minced. This perforated disc can be changed, most mincers come with a selection to allow you to adjust the coarseness of the mince. A mincer can also sometimes come with a sausage making attachment which is essentially a tube that fits onto the end of the mincer.
