It is possible to mince meat without contaminating it with metals(from the mincer machine)?

Why do you think you are getting contamination? If you are worried about a machine, just do a fine chop with a good sharp chef's knife.

Well, it makes sense that the metallic parts through which the meat goes through will contaminate it with tiny amounts of metals. Aajonus also said that metallic mincers will contaminate it.

Regarding knife, it is metals, and it is difficult to process lamb breast, which are extremely high in fat.

You can buy ceramic chefs knives. I have never owned one, so do not know how well they keep an edge.

i do some mincing on an inexpensive home machine.
- are you asking about commercial or home mincing machines?
- what kind of contamination are you referring to, metal leaching from the mincing machine, metal particles or ???

chilling fat and muscle to near freezing will make mincing easier but the fat still builds up inside the machine.
