Introduce the new meat grinder purchased from Lidl for making doner kebab.

Explain the benefits of using a meat grinder for improving texture and reducing fat content in doner kebab meat.

List the ingredients needed for the doner kebab: 500 grams of minced beef, 500 grams of minced lamb, 1 beaten egg, 38 grams of doner kebab seasoning, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Place the minced meat into the meat grinder and grind it two or three times until it reaches a sausage meat style consistency.

Add the beaten egg, salt, and doner kebab seasoning to the processed meat and mix thoroughly with hands.

Shape the meat mixture into a cylindrical shape.

Wrap the cylindrical meat tightly in kitchen foil, ensuring the ends are twisted like a Christmas cracker.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees centigrade.

Place the wrapped meat in the center of the preheated oven and cook for 50 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the type of meat and oven effectiveness.
