Rating of meat grinders for reliability and quality

Prepare delicious homemade food is not always possible, if you do not have a mincer nearby. Every household needs this device. A quality electric meat grinder is able to grind meat, crackers, grind nuts, and with the help of special attachments you can spin sausages, make figured cookies, shred vegetables and squeeze the juice. To help beginners hostesses offer a rating of the best meat grinders, which greatly facilitates the choice.

Properties of electric meat mincers

Choose a meat grinder is not too difficult, it is enough to assess its main characteristics.

To learn the full list of properties of the device it is possible on a site of the manufacturer. If the brand has an official page in Russian with a list of service centers and a detailed description of the product, the manufacturer can be safely trusted. It remains to select the functions you need. This will help the rating of meat mincers, who estimate a minimum of 10 parameters:

1. Power rating.
2. Performance.
3. Number of speed modes.
4. Completeness.
5. Material of the cutting part.
6. The shape of the knives.
7. Weight of the device.
8. Stability.
9. Additional functions (automatic cord reeling, container for attachments).
10. Height of the device (affects the choice of dishes).

Nominal power of grinder

The more powerful the device, the more power consumption.

In the description of a good meat grinder, this parameter should look like this: 350-1500 watts. The first figure is rated power, the second figure is the maximum. The standard operation of the device is provided by the first parameter, which ranges from 150 to 1150 W. The rated power is what you should pay attention to first. A device with a low initial value will work more slowly, even if the maximum power is high. The optimum figure is 800-850 watts. Do not rush to buy a device that tops the rating of meat grinders, its cost will be higher. It is possible that you will not need such a powerful device.

Max power

It determines the convenience of using the meat grinder and its purpose. Running at maximum power is carried out only in emergency cases, for example, when wires or rigid pieces are stuck. To work with a meat grinder in this mode is constantly strongly discouraged, as this can lead to a burnout of the electric motor. A large final power will not allow the removal of small veins and not cut the meat into small pieces. So we save time. In principle, the maximum power is not so important. Since not everyone will prepare home-made food from wiry meat.

A less powerful device is suitable for baby food. After all, only delicate sorts of birds, rabbit and tenderloin are used in cooking.

Unfortunately, the power will not determine the rating of the meat grinders for reliability. About this parameter, you can say only one thing: to buy a meat grinder with a score of at least 500 watts. Most devices having a certain power range can operate at several speeds, grinding products of different hardness. Having a regulator will save electricity and your time. The mechanical speed switch in the kitchen is often preferable to the electronic or sensory due to its reliability.

Performance

This parameter directly depends on the power. The minimum productivity is 0.5 kg / min, the optimum value is from 0.8 to 1 kg / min. A thousand grinder is capable of scrolling up to 1.3 kg of minced meat per minute. The performance is affected by several factors, so it can be quite high for less powerful devices. It should be borne in mind that such an indicator such a device can give when using non-rigid meat.

Nozzles for meat grinders

In addition to the standard nozzle, in which it is possible to change the discs, by setting different hole diameters, the meat mincer can be equipped with:

• A nozzle-grater.
• Shinkle.
• The nozzle for mashed potatoes and tomato paste (in the presence of the press turns into a full-fledged juicer).
• For sausages.
• For kebbe (special sausages - hollow inside).
• For cutting pastry.

There may be other nozzles, each of which is represented by several variations.

It is most useful to have a juicer and several shredders of different sizes at hand, as well as a small grater.

To prepare forcemeat enough one nozzle and a pair of discs with a standard and a smaller size of the holes. The set can also include molds for stuffing. With their help you will create accurate, identical cutlets, which will be fried evenly, completely.

Material

The material of the case influences the weight of the product, so the plastic meat grinder is not only cheaper, but also more convenient.

The loading tray should last as long as possible, so it is better if it is made of durable plastic or metal. The plastic is dyed with vegetable juice if you use a juicer or shredder. Recently, the loading tray has become increasingly manufactured from stainless steel. But the most important thing is the material for knives and disks. Quality minced meat can be made by using rubberized knives, excluding slippage. Self-sharpening blades will save you from having to replace them.

Additional functions

Meat mincer in many housewives works in the kitchen almost daily, so it is very important to protect it from breakage. The operating time of the device varies from 5 to 30 minutes. Overheating can occur not only because of this, but also when the bone gets under the knife, when the voltage in the network jumps. The overload protection function is provided by an automatic circuit breaker or special heat element. Another useful function is the reverse, which makes it easy to remove jammed pieces. At enough powerful models necessity in it is absent, as they are capable to grind even rigid meat. In any case, the presence of reverse will improve the performance and safety of your device.

A tray for attachments is useful if you constantly use a meat grinder and it takes up space on the table. In case of short-term use, the nozzles are usually stored in a box, and the tray only increases the dimensions of the device. In this case, it will be more convenient to use a meat grinder with a special function of winding the cord. It does not have to be packed, you will save time and place. When choosing a meat grinder, consider the height of the dishes for mincemeat. This distance for different models can be in the range of 5-15 centimeters.

The best meat grinder is electric. Rating by main parameters

Most often when choosing a device, we pay attention to its technical parameters. The price thus increases depending on the number of additional functions.

He tops the rating of the meat grinders by the power of the Moulinex HV9 ME740. Its 1000 W can easily cope with any task. The maximum power of the device is 2300 Watts. The set includes 3 discs for stuffing and 4 additional attachments. The device is equipped with a metal tray for feeding and a reverse system. The cost of the meat grinder is in the range of 11500-15500 rubles.

The price of more than 6,000 rubles on the Kenwood MG-516 seems slightly overpriced. No kebbe nozzle is necessary. The device has a plastic housing, made of plastic and a tray for delivery. Meat grinder is low, and not every container is suitable for it. Despite this, the device fell into the rating of the best meat grinders due to its pleasant design and compactness.

Inexpensive meat grinders

Cheaper grinders, for example, Zelmer 986.83 Expressive have lower power (650-1500 W). The model is equipped with additional discs for minced meat, nozzles and tapes for juice. Due to the reasonable cost (5000 rubles), this model took a worthy place in our list of "Meat grinder electric: rating-2014".

One of the cheapest meat grinders - Panasonic MK-MG1300W, whose price is about 3500 rubles, is only suitable for making minced meat from fairly soft meat. Its power of 250 watts is unlikely to cope with a ham or shank. The device is equipped with disks for stuffing. There are no additional attachments. Despite the modest parameters, the model perfectly scrolls the meat and is very convenient to use. It is ideal for beginners mistresses. It is a pity that this model is not quite worthy of such a decent meat grinder rating. Reviews mistresses about her, mostly positive.

Another inexpensive model can boast a solid bundle. This is Philips HR2728. The cost of the device is around 4000 rubles. The device is available to any buyer, and with it delicious home-made delicacies. The device can rightfully lead the rating of meat grinders. It is equipped with both discs for minced meat and attachments. With it, you can easily prepare stuffed kebbe sausages, cookies, cut vegetables and even chop the ice. All this with a very good power of 650 watts.

Many believe that the rating of meat grinders for reliability is determined by their price. This is not quite true. The inconvenience of using the device can lead to a violation of safety regulations and damage to the device regardless of the price. An example is a short cord. Even the expensive meat grinder, having fallen off the table, is deprived of the guarantee.

In case of failure, it is subject to disposal or expensive repairs. And here the rating of producers of meat grinders is no longer important. New ideas are constantly emerging in the market. There are trademarks. But in pursuit of new items, you can lose sight of important points.

The best meat grinder: the opinion of the housewife

In the creation of equipment for the home often take part and the users themselves. Therefore, "Rostest" conducted the study on the basis of the responses of the owners themselves. We present you the rating of meat grinders for quality and convenience.

In addition to technical characteristics, users are interested in:

1. The noise level (powerful devices louder).
2. Remaining meat in the tray after work - this parameter indicates the economy of the device.
3. Vibration.
4. The rate of filling with pomace during the production of juice.
5. Easy assembly and disassembly.
6. Ease of loading products.
7. Ease of washing.

Based on these parameters, Rostest compiled its own list. It included not very expensive models with a fairly modest bundle. When choosing a device, this list is not less useful than the rating of the producers of meat grinders. According to experts, it is the above characteristics that determine the satisfaction with the purchase and the frequency of use of the appliance at home. Noisy and bulky meat grinder often dusts on the mezzanines for years, and semi-finished products predominate in the family menu.

Meat grinder electric: rating-2014 from "Rostest"

• The meat mill Kenwood 1500W, according to the study "Rostest", deserved only one plus, and then for the length of the cord. The model is noisy and unstable.
• The Philips 1300W has pleased its owners with its quietness, ease and economy.
• The device Tefal Le Hachoir 1500 - 16 MR is not inferior in performance to the leaders.
• The Moulinex HVS Combi 1400W is a real combine harvester. It is equipped not only with shredder attachments, but also with a tray for storing them. This device can be safely included not only in the rating of meat grinders, electric shredders and combines, but also in the list of the most useful devices for the kitchen.
• The Braun Power Plus G1300, claimed as the most powerful device, did not differ in performance from the data of Rostest. This once again proved that using the rating of meat grinders for work quality is much more effective than choosing a device in terms of technical parameters. Loud names also do not always justify themselves.

Even if you have studied the rating of meat grinders, electric juicers or other household appliances, carefully inspect the product before purchasing and consult the seller. Speaking about the usability, you need to consider every detail. Perhaps you will find new advantages or, conversely, identify shortcomings in the process of work.
