The meat grinder is one of the most popular and indispensable household appliances, especially in Russia, whose population loves meatballs, meatballs and various derivatives of dumplings. Today we will tell you how to choose the best electric meat grinder for home and which model to buy in 2019.
How to choose an electric meat grinder?
Price range
As a rule, the more expensive the product, the larger the volume it is designed for. An inexpensive household meat grinder costs about 3-5 thousand rubles and involves the processing of meat up to 3-4 servings per session.
The product is more expensive, up to 12 thousand rubles, is already able to cook a larger number of servings, and is also equipped with all sorts of additional things, including nozzles for vegetables. Such a meat grinder can not only quickly turn the mince, but also grate the carrots in the salad, and cut potatoes for baking and squeeze the oranges into a glass of juice in the morning.
Meat grinders above 15-20 thousand rubles are intended for semi-industrial use or ideological meat-eaters. They are usually completely metal and are capable of processing an astronomical amount of minced meat. But do you need it?
Power
The more watts on the package, the more powerful the meat grinder, the larger volumes it can process in a shorter period of time, the more complex meat it can “take”. For example, if the power of the meat grinder is up to 800 W, then before using it, you will have to manually remove all the tendons and cartilage from the meat. And if the power is from 1400 W, then such a meat grinder can easily cope with 2-3 kg of meat per minute, and you won’t even notice cartilage.
Please note that manufacturers tend to put the maximum possible capacity in the data sheets; rated power is much lower. For example, the maximum cost is 1700 watts, but in fact the operating mode of the meat grinder is 600 watts.
Dimensions
Another important criterion is the size of the meat grinder itself. If you have a small kitchen, you should think in advance exactly where and how your new assistant will be placed, and where you will store accessories for it.
The more metal, the better.
It's no secret that plastic is inferior in the durability of stainless steel. Therefore, the more metal parts in your meat grinder, the better.
However, for home use it is quite enough that the main, working part (especially the auger for meat) in the meat grinder was completely made of metal, but the outer case may well be plastic. And, of course, the nozzles should only be metal.
Optional accessories
In addition to knives for meat and grills, many modern meat grinders have nozzles for making sausages, a kebbe nozzle for fans of oriental cuisine and even a kit for hand-made pasta production. Apart from a set of graters and choppers for vegetables.
