There are also professional instruments for large volumes. They can even be used in restaurants and food service establishments. At home, this is not very advisable. I have prepared the TOP of the best models from different categories, which will help you get to know the leaders of the rating and make the best choice.

Electric meat grinder device

The main difference from a conventional meat grinder is the presence of an electric motor, it rotates the shaft through a gearbox and processes the product. A gear with a screw is attached to the shaft, then the knives, the structure ends with a lattice. A clamping nut is used for fastening.

The product pieces are loaded into the tray through the meat hopper. A pusher is used for safe and comfortable pushing. Then it goes along the grooves, pushes through the knives, where it grinds and goes out, pushing through the mesh.

What to look for when choosing?

There is a wide variety of designs and combinations of materials and characteristics. To find the model that suits the requirements and fits within the available budget, it is useful to navigate the list of functions and features offered by manufacturers.

Auger material

The material of the screw is much more important than the body, according to experts, since it is this part that bears the main load and comes into contact with the processed product. It is fed to the knives through the auger. The most reliable devices are equipped with a metal screw. Often, another plastic auger is included in the kit, this is enough for processing fruits and vegetables.

The best material for knives is stainless steel, it does not dull as quickly as other alloys, it requires sharpening no more than 1-2 times a year.

Body material

The two main materials used are plastic and metal. Each of them has pros and cons. The plastic is lightweight, does not create problems in maintenance, and can be painted in any color. But it is more fragile than metal, prone to scratches and cracks under heavy load.

The metal has a modern look, it is stronger and more reliable, but adds weight to the equipment, which makes it inconvenient to carry it around the house. It is worth refusing to buy a model with polished shiny surfaces, all streaks and fingerprints remain on them. Matt surfaces are much more practical in this respect.

Tray and pusher material

The tray is offered in plastic or metal, this is not the most important indicator. Plastic has two drawbacks - it can stain the color of the processed product and crack from impact. The pusher is supplied with plastic only.

Another important detail is the gear. Plastic does not give the required level of reliability, it often breaks down, inexpensive modifications are most often equipped with such a part. Metal gears not only more durable, but also transfer power from the motor to the shaft much better.

Power

The quality of processing depends on the power level:

• 200-500 W - films and veins will have to be removed from the meat, finely cut.
• 500-800 W - processes fatty meat with cartilage cut into medium-sized pieces.
• From 800 W - takes large pieces, but consumes more electricity.

All models have two power ratings: peak and nominal. The first indicates the maximum indicator that the device can develop in a critical situation if the rotating parts and the motor are blocked. This applies to the processing of pieces of meat with veins and cartilage. In this mode, the meat grinder can work only for a few seconds, most of the time it works in nominal mode.

Performance

Shows how much meat is processed in 60 seconds. It could be like this:

• 0.5-1 kg / min - sufficient for domestic use, it will make minced meat for a dinner for a family of 2-3 people in a minute.
• Up to 3 kg / min - more products are processed, which allows you to serve a family of more people.
• From 3 kg / min - suitable for industrial use.

Motor overload protection

Means that there is a special fuse in the meat grinder that protects the motor from overheating and overloading. The most commonly used lock is a plastic fuse sleeve, if solid particles get into the moving parts or the temperature rises above the normal rate, it bursts.

Other models use an automatic circuit breaker - two metal plates, normally closed. If the electrical flow exceeds the indicators, they open. After disconnecting from the mains, the circuit is in place and closed again. Another protection option is a special heating element, when the temperature exceeds the limit values, the motor is disconnected from the auger.

Reverse system

Allows the auger to be turned in the opposite direction. Convenient if you need to scroll through very sinewy raw materials and it is wound on the auger. If there is no system for removing the veins, you need to disassemble the meat grinder and remove the veins manually.Many powerful models are not equipped with a reverse, since the power of their motor already allows you to scroll all the veins.

Maximum continuous working time

This is the maximum value before its expiration, the normal functioning of the meat grinder is guaranteed. The motor receives a heavy load, because each manufacturer specifies the maximum time line beyond which the work becomes unsafe. At the end of each cycle of work, the motor must be given a break of 10-20 minutes. The set cycles are different for each model.

Rubberized feet

If the feet are made of non-slip material or have anti-slip pads, this reduces vibration and sliding on the surface.

Self-sharpening knives

It is sharpened independently by rubbing against the grid. These knives are not made of stainless material.

Maximum pan height

This indicator measures the height from the body to the head of the meat grinder, that is, the hole from where the minced meat comes out. Based on it, you can calculate how high the dishes can be substituted under it to collect minced meat. The average is 11-14 cm, there are models with a distance of 16 cm.

Number of perforated discs

The number of discs included in the kit for the grinder. Most often 2-3 pcs. All discs have different hole diameters, due to which a different minced meat consistency is obtained at the exit - coarser or softer.

Noise level

Matters for comfortable use. Some appliances are so loud that using them in a residential building becomes uncomfortable.

Cord length

The required length depends on the location of the outlets in the kitchen. As a rule, devices are equipped with a small mains wire 100 cm long.Some models have a larger indicator - 120-150 cm.

Storage for cord and attachments

Some models have a storage space for the supplied attachments. Some models do not allow you to place all the attachments inside, but only accommodate those that are most often used.

Varieties of attachments for electric meat grinders included in the kit

• For kebbe - allows you to prepare a semi-finished product for meat tubes using different fillers, you can experiment with cooking homemade sausages. Such a nozzle is included in almost every meat grinder.
• For sausage - a narrow neck for attaching the casing to it or for storing the sausage. During cooking, you need to hold the casing with one hand, and control the flow of the product with the other.
• For shredding - a nozzle in the form of a steel drum with narrow slots, installed in place of the auger.
• Grater nozzle - a round cylinder with small holes, similar to an ordinary grater, most often there are two nozzles in the kit - with large and small holes.
• Perforated minced meat discs - a small circle made of stainless steel with a large number of holes in it, the set may come with different hole diameters.
• For cutting cookies - a plastic disk that forms curly biscuits from the dough, most often there are 2-3 holes on one disk, the finished biscuit can only be put on a baking sheet.
• Juicer - a nozzle for squeezing juice from citrus fruits. There are two types: auger - spinning and squeezing fruits, citrus press - a rotating cone with ribs, half a citrus is planted on it.
• Minced meat mold - forms cutlets from finished minced meat, automates the production of blanks of the same size and neat shape.
