How to choose the right meat grinder
Modern models are quite compact and easy to operate. Home appliance stores offer a wide selection of meat grinders from various brands. In order not to be mistaken with the choice, it is important to consider the following characteristics when buying:
-
Power. The higher the number, the better the performance of the device. With a power of 1000 watts, the device is capable of processing from 0.8 to 1.3 kg per minute. A device with a power less than 600 W will not be able to cope with bones and cartilage that can get caught in meat.
-
Material. Inexpensive models are made of durable food grade plastic. The price of metal grinders is higher, because it is a more environmentally friendly and durable material.
-
Knives. The steel of the cutting mechanism must be of high quality so that it does not have to be constantly sharpened. Models with self-sharpening knives will last longer.
-
Motor protection. Meat grinders should automatically turn off when the motor overheats and hard objects hit rotating elements.
-
Tray. The presence of a loading platform will protect your hands from accidental falling into the inlet.
-
Additional blades and attachments. The presence of a citrus juicer, attachments for making sausages and cookies, cutlet molds significantly expands the capabilities of a conventional meat grinder.
-
Noise level. There are no absolutely silent models. But the sound is also affected by the build quality and stability of the device.
-
Dimensions. There is no need to purchase a bulky device if there is no further storage space. For compactness, many models are equipped with special containers for nozzles.
-
Stability. If the stability is poor, the equipment will vibrate and make unpleasant sounds.
Of course, before buying it is important to decide on the purpose of the device. If it is needed only for the preparation of minced meat, then there is no need to purchase expensive multifunctional models. In order not to get lost in a huge assortment, we got acquainted with the reviews of real buyers, studied the opinions of the masters of warranty services and made a rating of the best meat grinders.
