Why this $5 Kmart Australia kitchen gadget is flying off the shelves: ‘Best money I’ve ever spent’

Foodies rush Kmart to get your hands on a new $5 meat grinder that’s being called a “must-have.”

A Gold Coast home chef recently rated the purchase a ’10 out of 10′ after using it to prepare a meal.

“This meat grinder from Kmart is the best $5 I’ve ever spent,” she said in a video. “I’m going to buy one for my mom because this meat grinder is so great.”

The woman revealed that she previously used several other kitchen utensils to chop meat, but none worked as well as the budget one Kmart bought.

“Look, I’ve used other utensils and it just doesn’t work that way. “I can break down and blend ground meat seamlessly,” she added.

This is how you cook minced meat correctly:

1. Put the minced meat in first, without oil

2. Make sure your pan is hot and the mince sizzles when it hits the pan

3. Do not stir the minced meat from the beginning. Make sure the first layer is brown and fragrant before moving it around the pan

4. If you do it right, it will smell like roast beef

5. Use a plastic whisk to break up the lumps

6. Browning the meat means you don’t have to use different sauces to make it taste great

7. Be creative with minced meat and change the spices, which changes the taste

Foodies are rushing to Kmart to get their hands on a brand new $5 meatloaf

Hundreds were obsessed with the kitchen purchase, with many using it for other foods as well.

“You can also crush cookies, fruits and vegetables,” said one.

“These are groundbreaking,” another added.

A few couldn’t wait to get their hands on the $5 product.

“I need one but where I am they’re still out of stock,” one sad shopper revealed.

Others shared similar hacks for use with ground beef.

“As chefs, many of us use potato mashers to grind meat,” one man wrote.

‘I also use a potato masher! But if I want to cook completely lean beef, I hit it with a wooden spoon,” said another.

A third said: ‘I use my metal whisk, it works like a charm every time.’
