Rules for the correct use of an electric meat grinder

December 02, 2020

In order for a meat grinder to work flawlessly, it is necessary to follow certain rules, which we will discuss in today's blog.

Preparing the device for operation:

The first step is to make sure that the meat grinder is working properly and is not damaged. Check the sharpness of the blades and adjust them if necessary, as working with a blunt cutting tool will increase processing time.

It is also necessary to prepare the workplace - choose a flat, non-slip surface on which the electric meat grinder will be stably mounted.

The hand-held meat slicer is mounted on the top edge of the table. If the support legs are not equipped with plastic or rubber pads, a soft material must be placed underneath to protect the surface.

Meat preparation

In order for the meat grinder to work without problems, it is important to prepare not only the equipment, but also the products to be processed. It is necessary to remove all bones from the meat, which significantly reduces the processing speed.

Modern electric meat grinders can operate continuously for 3-10 minutes, and if there is no reverse function, the meat grinder must be turned off and disassembled.

Getting a bone under the knife can damage the cutting tool and, in serious cases, damage the motor. Most modern models are equipped with an overload protection mechanism, but it is much easier and safer to pre-cut the meat and remove the bones and gristle.

Meat processing

When everything is ready, you can start working. Install the receiving container and place the parts in the machine's bowl. It is forbidden to place the parts in the bowl or the neck of the machine with your hands and help with your fingers. Especially when the device is turned on.

Please note that you should not operate the meat grinder idle, without food. Such operation leads to rapid wear of the cutting parts.

Add meat continuously and evenly during operation. Do not force the pusher, as this may cause the appliance to tip over or the metal materials to deform.

If excessive noise or an unpleasant odor occurs during operation, the device should be turned off immediately and checked for malfunctions.

Washing and care

Before disassembling the meat grinder, you must disconnect it from the mains. Then you need to open the device and remove the grinder and blade. Removable elements can be washed, and parts that cannot be removed can be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent corrosion, parts can be lubricated with vegetable oil.

The listed rules are quite simple and do not require any special technical knowledge. If you follow them, working with the device will become more comfortable and easier, and the service life of the meat grinder will also increase.
