Meat grinder, whether it is a model of the old (mechanical)or a new sample, is not an item that housewives use daily. Having seen the device working from electricity for the first time, most women ask how to assemble an electric meat grinder. Are there any differences from the usual mechanical meat grinder? If there is no man nearby, you need to be able to cope with the problem yourself.
Pluses of grinders
Previously, meat grinders were only mechanical, theirproductivity depended directly on the effort that the person applied. The process of grinding meat took a lot of time and angry most of the housewives, each time there was a question about how to disassemble the device and how to assemble. The electric meat grinder is distinguished by high power, it works in automatic mode, speeding up the process of cooking. This is a definite plus electrical device.
The range is increasing rapidly, there is alreadymultifunctional devices such as a meat grinder with an electric juicer. Before you choose a device, you need to figure out which functions are needed and which ones will be superfluous.
Electric meat grinders. Which is better to choose?
The most important indicator is the power of the device.The required capacity depends on the amount of meat that is planned to be processed. The performance of the device (how much meat can process the device per minute) depends on the power, which is high, low and medium. The golden mean - the average power from 800 to 1200 watts. An important indicator is the case material (metal, plastic, or a combination of them). Combined options, when the body is made of plastic, and the socket is made of metal, are very practical and durable. Best of all, when the device has a metal screw, there is a "reverse" function that allows the screw to spin in the opposite direction, overload protection is provided. Additional attachments (for sausages, cookies or shredders), a compartment for storing them, a meat grinder with a juicer (electric, by itself) are rather pleasant additions than the functions vital to this device.
The main elements of the device
It is noteworthy that before you collectelectric meat grinder, you need to remember the principle of assembly of a mechanical device and its parts. Electric models are built similarly. The main details of grinders include:
- The housing in which the motor and all electrical components are located.
- Meat receiver, through which the processed product enters the meat grinder.
- Auger, nudging meat.
- Double-sided knife, chopping products in the meat receiver.
- Grate or nozzles.
- The clamping ring fixing a lattice and a knife.
- The funnel, allowing products to fall into the meat receiver.
- Pusher for product promotion and security.
Step-by-step instruction. Meat Grinder Assembly Procedure
Below is a step-by-step instruction on how to assemble an electric meat grinder:
- The auger is placed in the meat receiver and is attached to the body so that its tail end accurately fits into the gap on the output shaft drive.
- Set the knife and grill at the outlet of the meat receiver.
- The design is fixed by a clamping ring.
- A funnel for the products is installed on top.
There are models that provideseveral additional knives and grids, which makes electric meat grinders more productive. What is the best model to choose - a moot point. If there is no need for excessive grinding, then it is quite possible to do with a single knife.
In any case, the knife should have a flat side.adjoin to the lattice. If the design is atypical, then it is worth looking into the instruction manual supplied in the kit. Usually in the document using diagrams clearly shows how to assemble the device. Also, the instruction will be able to answer the question of how to assemble an Bosch electric meat grinder. In addition to textual descriptions, it contains many descriptive instructions.
Electric Grinder Gearbox
In the grinder completely missing the handle, herfunctions are performed by the engine. Before you assemble the device, it is recommended to adjust the transfer clutch, which is often the cause of damage to the meat grinder. The reason is that the designers protect the device from mechanical overloads in two ways:
- Make gears from plastic, they break when jamming.
- Instead of gears use special bushings, which can also fail when overloaded.
To prevent breakdowns that are fixedpossible, but rather troublesome, it is necessary to properly use the device. The amount of food that the meat grinder can process is indicated in the instructions. If a product (for example, cartilage in meat) cannot be processed, then it is worth refusing to grind it altogether using this device. It is also important for large volumes of processed products to give the device a rest every 10-15 minutes.
Device Care Tips
After using the device you need itclean of residual food. Washing the meat grinder without disassembling the product is strictly prohibited. First the meat receiver is removed, then the clamping ring is unscrewed. Parts may be slippery, so you may need a kitchen towel or paper towel. At the end, the grille, knife and auger are removed.
After disassembly, all parts involved inmeat processing, washed under running water and washed as usual utensils. You can use detergent, it does not harm the details. All parts must be dry before assembly. Also, according to safety measures, in any manipulations with the device (assembly, disassembly), the meat grinder should be disconnected from the network. It is advisable to connect the device when it is fully ready for use. It is recommended to keep the grinder disassembled, and before use wipe the screw with sunflower or olive oil. The advice is no less relevant for a mechanical device.
