Plushkin For kitchen

There are two opposite opinions regarding the combination of several functions in one device.

Some consumers believe that, for example, Food processors, in particular, a meat grinder and a juicer are good.

It is compact, takes up little space, there is no need to spend money on separate devices, which, as you know, is always more profitable. Another part of consumers holds a diametrically opposite opinion.

And their argument also looks more than convincing. They argue that when several devices are co-located in one case, in the event of a breakdown of one of the functions, for example, a meat grinder, the juicer will also not work. They are partly right, but in any case, everyone must make their own choice - either a set - a meat grinder, a juicer - or two separate devices.

The main thing is that manufacturers provide such a choice.

Grinding, squeezing...

Currently, the whole variety of meat grinders is divided into:

1. By shape (vertical or horizontal),

2. According to the principle of product grinding (or centrifugal),

3. According to the method of rotation of the working bodies (auger or knives), which can be rotated using muscle power (manual) or an electric motor (electric).

Since the invention of the meat grinder to the present day, the principle of its operation has not changed at all. Through the feed mouth the product is fed into the grinding chamber, where the product is processed. In screw devices, the product is pushed by a screw (a massive spiral nozzle) to a fixed grid.

When using the device as a meat grinder, the meat after the auger is crushed by a rotating knife and pushed through the mesh. If the device is used, for example, as an electric meat grinder with a juicer for tomatoes, the products are squeezed out, the juice is poured through the filter mesh into the container, and the cake is discharged through the opposite hole.

In centrifugal models, products are chopped with rotating knives (meat) or a disc grater (vegetables or fruits). The pulp initially accumulates on a cylindrical centrifuge. Then, due to centrifugal force, the juice is separated from the pulp and fed into the container. The inconvenience lies in the need to frequently stop work and clean the mesh.

There are meat grinders that use both an auger and an independent special nozzle for obtaining citrus juice. In this case, the device is placed vertically, the nozzle for meat processing is removed, and the nozzle is attached on top.

The eternal problem of choice

On the one hand, diversity kitchen appliances this is very good. But on the other hand, consumers constantly have to make choices. Which is better: a food processor, a manual meat grinder with a nozzle for making juice, a meat grinder with a squeezer, electric auger or centrifugal (universal).

The difficulty of choosing is also in the fact that each user has his own arguments in favor of one or another option, and his own preferences. As the saying goes "the taste and color ...".

The food processor has an enviable versatility.

The presence of a variety of nozzles and accessories allows you to realize many culinary ideas. Some people like having a work bowl the most, as they get rid of the hassle of looking for the right utensils. Someone will prefer the compactness of the device. However, be aware that food processors are inferior in power (as a rule, their maximum power is 800 watts). Yes, and some of the devices cost like two or three conventional electric meat grinders.

Manual meat grinders differ only in ease of operation, cost and the possibility of preparing minced meat of large “grinding”.

Agree, not each of us likes meat gruel. In addition, the undoubted advantage of a manual meat grinder, however, like all other screw devices, is that the products are processed by cold pressing, which allows you to save many useful components. But not every man will allow his hostess to manually twist the products, so electric meat grinders are more popular.

The power of electric meat grinders is 200 - 1800 W, which allows you to process a larger range of products compared to a food processor, with greater productivity. And it will not always (and sometimes never) require the use of some of the functions that are present in food processors. In addition, as the experience of using food processors shows, not each of them is “too tough” for meat.

The main technical characteristics include power, speed of rotation of the working bodies and productivity. If the power of electric screw and universal meat grinders is in the range of 200 - 1800 W, then the rotation speed is significantly different.

In screw meat grinders, the speed of rotation of the screw is in the range of 70 - 80 revolutions per minute, which allows you to get better processed meat, vegetables or fruits at the output. The speed of rotation of the working bodies in centrifugal models is sometimes more than 20,000 rpm. The productivity of household electric meat grinders is usually up to 2 kilograms of products per minute.

In addition, electric meat grinders differ in neck diameter (35 - 90 millimeters) and its height (65 - 90 millimeters), the presence of a soft start and reverse function, body material, working bodies (knives, auger, disk graters) and grinding chamber, juicer capacity ( 0.4 - 1.2 liters), dimensions, weight and of course the price. The more expensive the meat grinder, the higher its technical performance. But if you are looking for a simpler model, then it is useful for you to read.

The electric model with a juicer differs from the manual one in the presence of an electric drive.

In addition, they mainly have a narrower and higher neck, which is due to safety requirements. Agree, the plastic pusher is not always “at hand”, and the temptation to push the product with your finger along the narrow neck is sometimes very great.

A narrow, high neck will not allow injury. And this is one of the advantages of electric meat grinders.

In addition, a clear advantage of electrical devices is their versatility and performance. Numerous nozzles allow you to cook minced meat and fish, juices from vegetables, fruits and herbs. For many of us, the most basic advantage is the lack of manual work with an electric meat grinder.

Meat grinder with juicer for tomatoes

An ordinary electric meat grinder easily turns into a tomato juicer with a special nozzle.

In general, it cannot be argued that such a nozzle allows you to get only tomato juice, and it’s not very convenient to purchase separate nozzles for each type of vegetable or fruit, even if they exist.

The only thing you should pay attention to is the unsuitability of centrifuge models for making tomato juice. Firstly, the yield percentage of finished juice is very low. Secondly, it is impossible to get pure juice without seeds. Thirdly, a lot of time is spent on cleaning the centrifuge mesh.

The choice is yours

When choosing a meat grinder with a juicer, you should first of all pay special attention to its technical characteristics and the material from which the device is made.

When selecting specifications it is necessary to keep in mind the purpose of purchasing a meat grinder and the planned volumes of food processing. Indeed, you should not buy an electric meat grinder with an industrial-type juicer to prepare a couple of glasses of juice.

The quality and material of the parts of the electric meat grinder is also of great importance, and not only for the duration of its operation. Metal parts must be made of stainless steel, resistant to corrosion, which will allow you to make really healthy juice.

And of course, you should pay attention to the completeness of the meat grinder. If you need a meat grinder with a squeezer, then, at a minimum, there should be appropriate attachments.

Meat grinder with juicer belongs to the universal kitchen devices that combine the useful functions of two household appliances at once. This technique has its admirers and opponents. Some buyers believe that the kitchen combine with juicer and meat grinder should be in every home. Combining several household appliances in one device has many advantages. Such a device, in particular, will take up much less space in the kitchen than a juicer with a meat grinder purchased separately. In addition, you will not have to overpay when buying an electric meat grinder with a juicer.

Meat grinders with juicer functions: what are they?

Now manufacturers of universal meat grinders with juicers offer the consumer several product options. Such equipment can be presented in the form of a food processor, a centrifugal or auger electric meat grinder with a juicer, or a manual electric meat grinder, which is equipped with a removable nozzle for squeezing juice. Which of the proposed options to choose, each buyer decides for himself. We can only give a few recommendations.

Buying a food processor is definitely worth it. It is multifunctional and comes with a variety of useful accessories(nozzles, graters, sharp knives). With the help of this technique, the hostess will be able to cook any dish. The only disadvantage of the food processor is the high cost. Not everyone can afford such an acquisition, and if your budget is not designed for such a purchase, we recommend that you pay attention to the models electric meat grinders with a juicer. The power of such meat grinders is much higher than that of food processors, and the cost, on the contrary, is two (or even three) times lower. With this device, you can process a large amount of food and even hard meat. Many models of electric meat grinders with juicers have a narrow and high neck, which eliminates the possibility of injury to fingers during food processing (owners of conventional manual meat grinders often try to push pieces of food deep into the device while the device is operating, risking injury). The complete set of electric meat grinders from different manufacturers is represented by useful accessories that help to prepare minced fish or meat, mashed vegetables and fruits, juices. Some models of electrical grinder equipped tomato juicer.

A budget option for those who are limited in money is a manual meat grinder with a nozzle for squeezing juice. It is characterized by reliability, low cost and ease of operation. The disadvantage of a manual meat grinder is that it takes a lot of effort to grind hard foods.

It is very difficult to do without in the kitchen, because it significantly reduces the cooking time. Most often, a mechanical meat grinder is used to obtain minced meat and comes with a set of grates.

The electric meat grinder greatly facilitates the tedious work in the kitchen. It may well replace the use of a knife, grater and other tools, while protecting the hands of the hostess from various minor injuries. Such a meat grinder can grind minced meat, and rub and chop vegetables. A meat grinder is also used to prepare a variety of juices, for which it must have special nozzles.

Attachment for a manual meat grinder for squeezing juice

For a conventional manual meat grinder, they usually purchase a simple nozzle with which you can squeeze juice from soft fruits and vegetables. This fixture usually has a spin adjustment. With this attachment for a meat grinder, it is easy and simple to get tomato juice for drinking or cooking various dishes.

Electric meat grinders with juice attachment

If there is no juice attachment included with the meat grinder of your choice, then you can buy it separately. However, it should be noted that not far each nozzle can fit one or another model of meat grinder.

In addition, find out what kind of material the nozzle for squeezing juice into a meat grinder is made of. After all, juices are a rather aggressive environment in which mechanisms quickly fail. Therefore, choose a nozzle made of stainless steel or food-grade plastic.

To install the juice extractor on the meat grinder, the unit should be placed on the back wall. After that, you need to remove the metal head of the meat grinder and install the juicer nozzle in its place. Set the meat grinder to its usual position and plug it into the network.

The fruit cut in half is mounted on a ribbed slide on the nozzle. Now you need to turn on the meat grinder and lightly hold the fruit with your hand or pusher. The rotating nozzle will squeeze the juice out of the fruit. After that, the device can be turned off.

With the help of a meat grinder attachment, you can get healthy orange, grapefruit, tomato juice. In addition, such a nozzle will allow you to prepare not only juice, but also, for example, tomato paste, berry mousse or fruit puree.

A quality meat grinder-juicer should fully squeeze out the juice, and the cake should be slightly moist, but not wet.

In some models of meat grinder, you can find a citrus press nozzle. It has oblong holes and in the lower part there is a groove for collecting juice.

Auger juicers are expensive. Cheaper model - vertical type. The price starts from 4000 rubles. Juicers with a horizontal auger will come out more expensive. Will the attachment for meat grinders help the cook? Vertical type auger juicers suffer from low endurance. They rest longer than they work (15 minutes versus 1 hour). The record holder is considered the Vitek 1602 model, which operates in a cyclic mode, it is periodically required to cool down, it is deprived of protection against overheating. An electric meat grinder with a juicer pleases the buyer with an additional juicer nozzle, which costs 1000 rubles. The authors tend to believe that the difference will affect the mode of operation. Let's watch and evaluate together.

Zelmer Electric Meat Grinders

The simplest analysis of the models shows that for the equivalent money (4000 rubles) we will get a multifunctional product. For example, the Zelmer 887 series functions according to a circular cycle:

1. 10 minutes of work.
2. 30 minutes rest.

Meat grinder 887.83 is sold for 4200 rubles with a juicer included in the kit. We say in advance: the above work cycle is far from the worst. Demonstrate cleaner vertical auger juicers. Others rest 1 hour after 15 minutes of work, they cost much more. We bring readers to the conclusion: auger juicers are not designed for twists. The devices give out a glass or two, then they go to rest. Worse, if the model lacks built-in protection against overheating. Burning the engine is no more difficult than an ordinary hand blender with a red price of 500 rubles.

The manufacturer reassures: built-in mechanical protection of the engine. A bone accidentally gets inside, the teeth of the coupling break out, the motor will survive. Naturally, the broken spare part will have to be bought in addition. There is no mention of overheat protection in the manual. Meat grinder-juicer Zelmer 887.83 is inexpensive, vulnerable to breakdowns. It is unrealistic to get a new clutch on the Internet, what will happen if the device works for 11 minutes, it’s scary to think. The instruction is bashfully silent about how it is necessary to detect the critical sixth of an hour.

However, the device is able to chop, brighten up the first impression. Before us is a simple food processor for an affordable price. The 986 series is endowed with the best performance. The work cycle looks like this:

1. 15 minutes of work.
2. 30 minutes rest.

There is a meat grinder with the Zelmer juicer function 986.83 5500 rubles. We see mechanical protection against damage, the clutch will break, we will have to look for it. The device only costs more, because the mode is different. The set is supplemented with a citrus juicer attachment. Separate conversation. The minimum complete set in model 986.88. We believe it can be purchased, the juicer attachment for the Zelmer meat grinder is purchased separately if necessary. 986.88 is out of stock! A juice attachment for a meat grinder costs 1000 rubles. We believe that it is cheaper to take a set, only where to put the dome for citrus fruits.

The series looks bad. Consider the meat grinders of the 987 series. First, the good news: there is a model equipped with one additional attachment. The juicer is budget, you won’t have to overpay extra. The name of the meat grinder is Zelmer 987.82. Another good news: the model in official store companies worth 5000 rubles. Not much different from cheap vertical auger juicers. What about the work cycle? We see engine protection against overheating. The company is growing before our eyes, offering something sensible.

And the cycle of work remained the same: 15 minutes of pressing, half an hour of rest. If there is protection against overheating, it makes no sense to be afraid for the equipment. A great weight off one's mind.

Mechanical type protection with a plastic sleeve remained. We see a reliable device, it is difficult to break. A cool meat grinder with a juicer function, we recommend buying it, unlike the one discussed above.

The electrical protection class of the device is the second, the equipment does not need additional grounding. Additionally, you can purchase:

• nozzle for shredding;
• citrus juicer;
• mill.

Curiously, the official store forgot to replenish the supply of couplings ... It’s better not to throw bones inside. Even apple ones. It's a shame, they were too lazy to write whether it is possible to squeeze carrots, other hard varieties of vegetables, fruits. We believe that before buying it is necessary to inquire with the manufacturer (Zelmer).

Izhevsk Motor Plant produces meat grinders

Attention was drawn to the inscription on the manufacturer's website:

• "Productivity - up to 100 kg/h".

Does it mean that the meat grinder Aksion with a juicer model M 31.04. REVERSE will allow you to reap, reap, reap juice? We will inquire about the price, try to find the instruction! For 2 and a quarter thousand rubles, the device will help stuff sausage, it can grind meat. The inscription is alarming: it is intended for vegetables, fruits with “soft pulp”. The device demonstrates a rather complex cycle. If the specialized site http://www.mts-invest.ru/ is right, it looks like this:

• 15 minutes of work;
• 15 minutes of rest;
• 15 minutes of work;
• 45 minutes rest.

Those who managed to do what they planned in the first 45 minutes get a clear performance gain. Silence regarding beets and carrots looks bad. Are vegetables harder than meat? I am glad that instead of the clutch that always breaks, Zelmer has a “cap”, the kit contains seven pieces. Enough to try on seven times, squeeze once. In the product we see an approximation to Russian realities. It costs twice as much. About protection against overheating is silent. I'll have to work with an alarm clock. We believe that it will not be difficult to burn the device.

And the phrase mentioned at the beginning is a publicity stunt. 100 kg/h - performance would be observed under certain conditions (grid with large holes) if the Aksion meat grinder worked in continuous mode for such a long period of time. In other words, we do not see here a “panacea for all diseases”, there is no difference with Zelmer, which is more expensive: do not forget about the lack of protection against overheating. We see a chance to save 700-900 rubles by eliminating unnecessary functions at the same time.

The Aksion electric meat grinder with a juicer looks like a cheap whipping boy, let's test the quality of the products, trying to understand the likelihood of spending money. After all, it's hard to lose. As far as we understand, one cap breaks during overload. The device will not pull a carrot, we will bite our elbows. It is recommended to call the manufacturer first, to make inquiries. The website of the Izhevsk Motor Plant looks like a five, I forgot to post the instructions. Not convenient for the buyer.

It is worth noting that it is not clear whether interesting nozzles can be purchased separately, as with Zelmer. If the company eliminates a couple of shortcomings, uploads a video with the operation of the equipment, together it will not cost a penny, it will give a solid look to the proposal. Note that a video was posted on YouTube, but the carrots are only chopped. On the other hand, an attachment to a meat grinder, a juicer, made in the image and likeness of imported ones, is shown.

Plus firm for a good (inconvenient) directory. We learn: 100 caps cost 800 rubles. Inexpensive, for how many years is the stock calculated? It's time to buy the village. The manufacturer did not disappoint! Doubled the price, sells three pieces. We think that delivery will be more expensive than 45 rubles, it is profitable to order 2-3 sets at a time.

Izhevsk Motor Plant aims to pick up a domestic consumer. I was pleased with the semi-automatic manual bone separator. You can quickly process cherries, apricots, plums, sweet cherries. At a cost of 450 rubles, it cannot be called a real gift, you can twist the juice with the help of a rotary juicer if you have patience.

Other options for meat grinders with attachments

Some of the market offers were mentioned. For example, the auger attachment of a Philips meat grinder juicer costs 4,000 rubles. Made from pure steel. Never mind the bones, whether the motor will pull. We are not considering equipment today, we set out to find a budget option, it seems that the problem has been solved. In extreme cases, readers will get home a cheap meat grinder that saves housewives from manual labor. Of course, the help of men is needed. How to explain to a woman: the device will overheat, break. It is necessary to show a couple of times, set the alarm.

An electric meat grinder with an Axion tomato juicer will be a good choice for those who love fresh juice. Spinning will be problematic. Press the industrial scale with a technological line, having rolled off a couple of million, stock up on a centrifuge, paying a similar price. Centrifuge efficiency is average. Let's say a rich harvest of fruits, try to save ...
