Oh, I was thinking you would ground up the beef on a chopping board not in the pan

No, we were "talking" about breaking up the already ground beef while frying it.

I have one for a many years now. Not that brand. I love it for chopping ground beef. And for sausage when I make sausage bread. Great for chopping canned whole tomatoes for sauce or salsa.

I have a very sturdy, large spatula that I use every time I'm chopping up ground meat. It's quite noisy as I pound away, since things on the stovetop tend to vibrate and bang around, but it does the job very well. Takes some elbow grease to get the meat chopped fine, but it works.

The edge would be damaged on with one.

My new slicer arrived on 24 December. I finally assembled it yesterday. The quality is obvious and very German. It isn't heavy or hard to move. The suction feet are almost too good, but it will stay in place, even though I only pressed down on one side. I did that so the suction cups wouldn't all stick. I had tried pressing down so they all stuck and I could hardly get it loose again. It worked just fine with just me working it.
It works really well. I like it. It's at least as good as the one I used when I lived in Denmark. That one didn't have sucker feet. It had the same kind of attachment that old, hand cranked, meat grinders use, where there is a gizmo that clamps it to the side of a table and screws tight or loose. We used that one a lot for slicing rugbrød, the heavy Danish rye bread. That stuff is really hard to slice by hand if you want the slices thin enough and sliced straight. If I ever get around to baking some rugbrød, this new one will definitely get used for slicing it. The stuff I buy now is German, and for some incomprehensible reason, they slice the loaves the long way.

For Christmas, I received two cookbooks! One is Cooking with the Saints by Greeley & Flores. I like the cookbook for its blurbs about Saints and their days. I had hoped the recipes would have been more attributed to each Saint, and while some do, many do not. Regardless, it is a fun read and I'll have fun with it. The recipes do look good.
The second cookbook is the Woks of Life cookbook. I've been eyeing it for some time but, since I follow them via their website, I felt the cookbook would not give me too much benefit. I'm pleasantly surprised by the lay-out and their recipes with hints here and there that go beyond their posts. For example, if you read a recipe online, people will ask questions regarding how it could be made ahead, etc. One can get the info by scanning the comments....sometimes. However, in the cookbook, it is all right there.

ohhh @Kathleen, I was avoiding getting another book - but I too like and follow Woks of Life. So now I HAVE to get it!
Last book I got (Recipe Tin Eats, Dinner) I purchased 3 copies, one for my DIL in Montreal, another for my DD in Edmonton, and I share mine with my other DIL upstairs.

Recipe Tins Eat is very good. The second book, Tonight, is equally as good.
I’m not the biggest fan of Woks of Life. They have loads of advertising on the site and always seem to be shilling their own stuff (bombardment emails, no extra charge).
I got this today:
Uranium glass measuring jug - 5 cup capacity.
For anyone who has been following the weather thread in Off Topic, this jug has all marker measurements in imperial! It will learns me!

Nope, that's not imperial measure. That's US customary measure. I can tell because, the number of fluid ounces in a quart is not the same in the two systems, neither is the size of the quarts or fluid ounces.
