The enterprise has existed since 1907. At first, a sawmill arose on the site of the plant, and then a furniture factory. Only in 1939, a radio plant appeared on the basis of "Derevoobdelochnik". Today, the main capacities of the Belarusian OJSC "Amkodor-Belvar" are occupied with the production of medical devices, measuring equipment, lighting products, awards. Among Belvar's household appliances are food processors, mixers, irons. Branded meat grinders are produced under the brand "Pomoshnitsa". Service centers are open in large cities of the European part of Russia.
Scarlett
The trademark belongs to a company from Great Britain. Production lines are located in China and Russia. The first products of the brand appeared in 1996 and became especially popular in the Russian Federation and Eastern European countries. The brand has repeatedly been awarded the "Brand of the Year" and "Product of the Year" awards from Effie.The main emphasis in the quality of meat grinders is on the power, which is accompanied by quiet operation of the device. The general motto of Scarlett is associated with ease of use and is reflected in compactness, equipment with an additional reverse function, and various configurations.
What to look for when choosing an electric meat grinder
Over the decades, companies have worked out the production technology. The shape and materials of the electric meat grinder have become almost standard. The durability of the equipment depends on compliance with the operating rules.
Material of working surfaces
The working surfaces are constantly in a humid environment. The auger and the working chamber are made of aluminum alloy, which is not subject to corrosion if not washed in a dishwasher. From aggressive detergents and hot water, the surface of the aluminum alloy with silicon will darken and begin to leave marks on the products.
If the alloy does not contain silicon, the meat grinder is devoid of this drawback, but the true composition is found out only in practice. Manufacturers do not advertise the materials used. Sometimes the operating instructions contain recommendations for care, but they contain only wishes.
The greatest pressure in working condition is experienced by the knife and grates. The tools are made of stainless or high-alloy steel, which can withstand pressure and work for a long time without sharpening. High water temperatures, more than 30 °, are also undesirable here. Not only because the material can darken. After a hot shower, stainless steel tools, and all knives of the lower and middle price range are made of it, will have to be sharpened.
Material of the body and gears
The engine housing, unlike the working surfaces, does not experience significant loads, therefore it is made of food-grade plastic. Plastic reduces machine weight and cost. However, a durable material is still used that can withstand vibration, slight temperature changes, and light impacts.
Metal easily transfers heat. It is necessary in the body of powerful cars to reduce the risk of engine overheating. For cheap meat grinders with a low-power motor, a metal case will bring nothing except increased cost.
It also makes no sense to make the meat feeding tray and pusher metal, although trays are sometimes made of steel. The vast majority of companies usually make transmission gears from durable, but still plastic. Metal is rare here even in expensive models.
It is believed that a meat grinder is not the most loaded equipment. This leads to the fact that they work for 5-7 years, after which you have to buy a new device or carry out repairs. On the other hand, metal gears create a high noise level, which in meat grinders cannot be called low anyway.
Power
The throughput and, most importantly, the ability to grind meat of different textures depends on the engine power. In order for a meat grinder to cope with coarse beef, the indicator must be at 300 watts at nominal level and at least 1000 watts before blocking. In the range of 150-600 Watts, the equipment can grind only boiled products.
The accompanying documentation always indicates the highest performance. Companies are lying. The throughput depends on the quality of the meat and the size of the grill holes. It’s impossible to get such a speed at home, and who needs to save a few minutes once a week or month.Few people use a meat grinder every day.
Protective functions
In electric meat grinders of the lower price segment, overload protection has 1-2 levels. This includes automatic peak power shutdown, which triggers a relay when a certain temperature is reached. It would seem that such an elementary function should be in any modern technology, but some manufacturers do not have it.
Another way is to place a protective plastic cap on the auger. The seemingly strong metal connection between the auger and the engine hides the vulnerability. If a remaining bone or foreign body gets into the meat grinder chamber, the plastic fuse will be destroyed. The engine will run at idle speed and will not suffer from overload. The fuse is changed and the meat grinder is back in service. A strong metal connection will cause the motor to simply burn out.
Additional functions
Reverse acts as an additional function, as protection against jamming and pressure on the knife, which manufacturers equip high-tech devices with. It can be automatic in expensive models. In the simplest case, at the first sign of a solid object hitting (intense hum of the motor, stopping the movement of the knife), the reverse is turned on manually after the engine has completely stopped.
There are meat grinders with 2 speeds. Switching will be needed for products of different densities. It is better to turn tough raw meat at lower speeds. Boiled products will be successfully crushed at high speed.
Premium models are equipped with an electronic timer.With its help, it is convenient to monitor the permissible working interval or measure the grinding speed.
Additional attachments
The functionality of the device can be increased with additional equipment. They are sold together with the meat grinder or purchased separately.
Lattices
The grid for meat and fish is the main part of the machine, but in most cases the manufacturer supplies the equipment with 2-3 discs with perforations of various diameters. Classic 4 mm grates are good for cutlets and dumplings, but sometimes you have to pass coarse meat through twice. Smaller holes of 2.7-3 mm allow you to immediately obtain tender minced meat. Large perforations of 7-8 mm are good for manti and preparing filling for pies.
For sausages and kibbeh (kebbe)
With attachments for kebbe and sausages, you can stuff sausage casings with minced meat and stuff cutlets. The traditional Mediterranean dish of kibbeh is a shell of meat with filling, fried in oil. Together with tourists, the recipe spread around the world, and the nozzle for squeezing out a tube from minced meat became popular.
For raw and cooked vegetables
Vegetable cutter drums come in 3 or 4 types, with different shapes of holes. With their help, you can quickly prepare purees, slicers, grate vegetables for soup, stew. The graters come with an attachment that is attached to the drive shaft instead of a screw.
Juice squeezing
Multifunctional equipment also includes a juicer. A metal cone with perforations is placed on the auger and secured with a nut. A moving auger pushes the crushed fruit to the grid and receiving container. The spin output is adjusted by the size of the outlet hole. To drain the juice, a plastic tray is placed on the cone.
Ergonomics
The principle of convenience is promoted by every manufacturer. Although sometimes more attention is paid to appearance than ergonomics.
Cord
Thus, the length of the cord is usually 1 m. This size can hardly be called acceptable. Often, for the sake of minimalism, a cavity for winding the cord is sacrificed. The gain is dubious, the cable dangles all the time and gets in the way when cleaning.
Care
The most inconvenient parts in terms of cleaning the meat grinder are the working pipe and the grates. For the latter, plastic sponges with protrusions were invented to clean out food residues. A universal solution can be found in the form of a brush with a long handle or the same toothbrush, which will remove the slightest dirt.
Operating mode
In addition to single-speed ones, there are meat grinders with 2 speeds. This indicator is important to some, but it is not decisive. Much more important is the presence of auger reverse among the functions of the device. Reverse helps when you have to deal with skins, films and tendons.
Compactness and accessory storage system
It’s one thing when the equipment can stand assembled and not disturb anyone, but it’s quite another thing if the kit includes several types of attachments. Storing in a box is not aesthetically pleasing, and a scattering of components in a closet leads to chaos. In well-thought-out devices, an additional volume of the body is adapted for the nozzle storage system or the tray size is calculated to accommodate all the nozzles.
Maintainability
The issue of maintainability for meat grinders is not as acute as for washing machines and refrigerators. Often, after the assistant fails, owners simply buy a new device. They can be understood, because repairs can cost an amount comparable to the purchase.
Service centers for warranty services from well-known global manufacturers are located almost throughout the country. A domestic device can be repaired at any repair shop. But little-known brands may be left without spare parts, but they are not so expensive that you need to worry about it.
Advantages and disadvantages of electric meat grinders
Electric meat grinders have become a must-have item for a well-equipped kitchen. Housewives have long appreciated their advantages:
- high speed of product processing;
- replacing muscle power with engine power;
- simultaneous grinding of a large mass of product.
The disadvantages of an electric device include its high cost compared to the manual type and more complex maintenance. However, if the family constantly makes dishes from minced meat, and even for 3-4 people or more, buying an electric meat grinder is completely justified and this minus becomes a good plus. Moreover, its service life is quite long. Most practical housewives purchase manual and electric appliances to use depending on the amount of work to be done.
Household appliances save you from daily routine work. Electric meat grinders are easy to use and maintain. Still, you need to remember:
- Electrical devices and the rules of use and safety precautions must be observed.
- Cleaning, washing, and repairs are done after complete disconnection from the network.
- Steam cleaners do not use or immerse the main unit in water for maintenance.
- The meat grinder should not be installed near hot surfaces or fire.
- A working device should not be left unattended and children should not be allowed near it.
The choice of such a simple technique as a meat grinder is complicated by the wealth of offers.Externally, many models are similar and it can be difficult to separate a truly high-quality product from a seemingly attractive, but short-lived craft. The usual practice in this case is to get acquainted with the experiences of friends and relatives, reviews with photographs and discussions on forums.
This meat grinder is such crap. I bought it less than three months later and it broke. I took apart the plastic inside.
