Meat grinder cutting plate grades
The interchangeable cutting plates (dies) a meat grinder ships with and accepts, graded by hole diameter, which sets the mince texture: a coarse plate (large holes, for chilli or coarse sausage), a medium plate (general mincing), a fine plate (for pâté or a second pass), and an extra-fine plate. A token category recurring across meat grinders (L11); a single grinder states the whole set it ships with (the property is multi-valued); growing as makers add specialty plates (L13). Distinct from a coffee grinder's burrs and a food processor's slicing/shredding discs.
