Currently, the choice of such a household appliance as an electric meat grinder is rather difficult in the sense that manufacturers supply a wide variety of models to the market. How in all this sort out and choose for a house that will completely suit you and your family and will not have unnecessary functions for which you will have to overpay? To do this, it is necessary to clearly understand what is meant in "practice" by those or other figures in the documentation for the unit.
First of all, every hostess, when choosing a meat grinder, is interested in how efficiently she will process raw meat. Therefore, you need to focus on its power. It is the determining indicator for this kind of household appliance. The higher the power, the higher the productivity. However, it is necessary to understand the difference between the maximum and nominal capacities.
If a bone is caught under the knife of a meat grinder, the auger temporarily stops, trying to grind it. But in this mode( maximum power), the unit can only work for a very short time( on average - up to 1 min).Its limit in different models ranges from 1 to 2 kW.But it is not an indication of the operability of the product. Therefore, it should be clarified, so what kind of power is indicated in the documentation: maximum or nominal?
Additional functions of electric mincer
All other characteristics of the electric meat grinder give an idea of the "service" offered by the manufacturer. Consider the additional features of such products.
Reverse - this function is very useful when processing wiry pieces of meat. Everyone knows how much work and time it takes to clean the auger and knife from the veins wound on them. However, if there is an "auto-reverse" button, it is enough to stop the meat grinder, press this button, and the auger will "give" the reverse move. Please pull out the wound wires without dismantling the whole grinder. Saves both time and nerves.
When choosing a particular model you like, you need to understand what accessories are included in the package, as well as the quality of individual parts, especially the knife. The best is considered a knife, which looks like a sickle made of stainless forged steel. All accessories are at the discretion of the hostess. This category includes various disks, attachments, molds. You can ask, if necessary, about the possibility of buying some accessories in addition.
The Bosch MFW67600 and Philips HR 2728/40 are very well proven - by purchasing these models, you can be sure that the money is not wasted and the meat grinder will work for many years without repair.
Do not forget about how to store the meat grinder. After all, it is not used every day. Hence, its dimensions also play a role. It is also important what the legs are made of and how they are regulated. On this depends the stability of the unit during operation. And one more important detail - what is the body of the meat grinder made of? It is clear that it must be stainless and steel. This should pay close attention.
