What should you look for when choosing?


Performance - the amount of meat that a meat grinder can crank in one minute.
The performance of a meat grinder depends on the power of its engine. More powerful models will do the job faster and easier.
Reverse - a system that allows you to turn the meat grinder screw in the opposite direction. Allows you to get rid of the veins wound around the auger and hindering the work of the meat grinder.
You will not need to manually disassemble the grinder to remove the interference. It is enough just to press the reverse button.
Not every model has this feature. More powerful models simply do not need a reverse system, since core grinding is not a problem for them.
Nozzles - are selected depending on the needs.
Meat grinders can be additionally equipped with attachments:
- for kebbe (a dish that looks like hollow sausages (tubes) made of meat, which are stuffed and then fried)
- for sausages made from natural casing (from 1 to 6 pcs.)
- for a grater (from 1 to 4 pcs.)
- for shredding (from 1 to 4 pcs.)
- for tomatoes, berries
- for cutting into cubes
- for cookies
- for citrus fruits (juicer)
- grinder (for coffee, spices, nuts, etc.)

You can also focus on the design of the meat grinder, colors.

It should be remembered that the case can be made of plastic or with metal inserts, usually covering the front panel (for easier maintenance), or it can be completely made of metal (in higher cost models, including professional ones, it has greater strength and heat resistance, gives a more expensive and solid appearance)

The food tray can be made of plastic, but is increasingly made of metal. Unlike metal trays, plastic often stains, for example, from vegetable juice, and can lose color over time. In addition, it is not particularly resistant to external influences (scratches) and requires more careful handling. Metal is more expensive, but stronger and is considered a more environmentally friendly material.

And also pay attention to the manufacturer's firm that you trust

[AJlEHA]

AJlEHAThank you very much for such a detailed review. If someone has such grinders please write a review

I have a Dex grinder, but I have never used a tomato attachment yet. But I use graters very often. Minced meat was done only once, in comparison with the usual one, of course, quickly and less laboriously. The appearance of plastic, as for me, is cheap compared to Panasonic, for example, but it also costs UAH 650, 2 years of warranty. It's a pity that there is no attachment for sausages, there is a kebbe, but we don't need it.

Julia, thank you. I am very interested in the nozzle for tomato juice, because we make a lot of it.

Olya, I have Zelmer, so, unfortunately, I don't remember the model, that is, these letters and numbers, I'm at work, and the meat grinder is in the village where all my agricultural and procurement work is done.I bought it last summer, moreover, the boys in the store were very persuaded, the purchase was spontaneous, but did not regret it even once, sheer delight. I have in the package:

auger for tomatoes (I make 3 buckets of tomato juice in 1.5 hours), I was also afraid that she would not do much, but cool, fast and does not heat up.
sausage attachment (not used)
three disks for minced meat (the smallest, I rub poppy with it !!, medium and large - meat almost in pieces),
four shredder attachments (like a regular coarse grater, for Korean carrots, in circles and for potato pancakes)
citrus juicer (used several times - usually squeezes)

For me the critical ones are tomato juice, potato pancakes and poppy seeds.I use a round shredder when I make a mass harvest of carrots for drying (dry in different ways and in circles and on a coarse grater), I also cooked garlic for drying, peeled 4 kg of garlic, peeled it by hand - I sat for half a day, and my meat grinder made chips from it in 5 minutes ... Spread out on trays, dried out overnight, such cool chips turned out. I left some with chips, some twisted with a chopper and an old coffee grinder, it turned out more than 1 liter of small dried garlic.

If you have patience and you like such a meat grinder, I can say / write an exact model on Saturday evening. There is also a reverse.

[AlKA]

AlKA, I will definitely wait and I will be very grateful
Tell me the price approximately while I'm browsing the internet

[this particular]

I have a Zelmer 686.5A meat grinder, I bought it for an action in the Metro a year and a half ago for 435 UAH. She came with 2 grills for minced meat (large and medium) and a sausage attachment. I actively use everything !!! This year I bought a shredder with 4 types of blades for her. To say that I am insanely happy is to remain silent !!! My delight has no end! I cook to order and my zyamochka is my first helper! I especially like that the lna is very compact, it is on my table at hand, just change the attachments.
You can also buy a nozzle for tomatoes to it, you just have to get used to substitute a tray for juice there, because due to the configuration this particular grinder models are not very convenient. I will buy a juice attachment in winter, now they are almost not on sale.
This year I have a huge harvest of apples at my dacha, so I cut a bucket of apples into chips on a shredder in 3 minutes.

I make caviar from zucchini at once, I also rub everything on a shredder, now it is being cooked.
It is very easy to clean and disassemble, it works quietly. I liked the fact that I didn't immediately dump a lot of money, but bought in addition as needed and needed.
So super-device, I recommend!

about 1100-1200 UAH., in my opinion of the 986th models.
I support Svetta, the meat grinder is good, I just bought everything at once.

Most likely it is model 986.83
I watched the video, it seemed to me such a miniature juicer, they made juice from 2 tomatoes in a glass. I'm thinking how it will look if we have buckets of tomatoes?

This painful choice has been made for me. I chose three months. And all the same stopped at
Moulinex ME 4151 made in France. I use it for two months. I am very satisfied. I made the right choice. Six attachments for vegetables, including dicing. Class (except for boiled potatoes). Attachment for sausages and kebe. I have already used sausages for 10 meters of intestines, which I have not made. Kebe hasn't done it yet. Good quality plastic (Europe). I constantly make Korean carrots and beets, nothing is colored. Rub, cut, etc. etc. vegetables are now only with her. As a gift, there were two screw juicers, for soft fruits and berries, and for hard fruits (apples). I am also very pleased, although I ran the cake from the tomatoes twice dry. Stands on the table, as all the time in business. Rated power 500W. kg of meat in 1 min. All indiscriminately. In short, very, very happy.

[AlKA]

and my meat grinder made chips from it in 5 minutes. Spread out on trays, dried out overnight, such cool chips turned out.

AlKAand where and how do you use garlic chips? What are they needed for?

I bought my meat grinder like Sveta, a year and a half ago. I have a Zelmer 986.80. Tomato juice, the meat grinder twists one, two, three. And in general, I like my meat grinder. The choice is yours

[AlKA]

AlKAand where and how do you use garlic chips? What are they needed for?

I use chips wherever I would put regular cloves of garlic. In meat, it is good to stuff them. it goes well into meat, into pilaf, into stew. But I leave them a little. I grind the garlic into powder more. This one goes to all our plates.

My meat grinder is Zelmer 986.83. I put a small tray under the tomato nozzle, picked it up to size, how it is filled, pour it into the pan. It turns out quickly.

I have the same meat grinder. But there were no auger juicers for it. All other attachments are included.
As for boiled potatoes: it is better to chop raw potatoes for salads and then cook them in a double boiler.

May I ask how many liters of juice do you process? If I need 50-70 liters of juice, how many liters-hours will I need to make it? This juicer seemed to me a toy

girls, but someone like that is - Gamma-7-01-02, there is a nozzle for a tomato to it .. and the accessories are cheap ..
Kharkov seems to be doing ...

[Lika_n]

Lika_n, I also have a nozzle for tomatoes, I'm happy! Presses quickly and dryly.
We even have a topic for them https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=17356.0

Only produce Gamma in Russia, Kirov.

May I ask how many liters of juice do you process? If I need 50-70 liters of juice, how many liters-hours will I need to make it? This juicer seemed to me a toy

I didn’t do that much at one time, although it might have turned out more in a season. The biggest call was - it was 30 liters of ready-made juice. Timed, it turned out in an hour and a half. I deliberately made three short breaks, but rather for myself than for the meat grinder, since it did not heat up. At first, I also had big doubts, I also thought that she was for a couple of glasses, but it turned out not. Spills all over. I didn't even clean the auger, although I was afraid that it might clog up with pulp. The nozzle is small, but it works very neatly, the juice does not fly to the sides, does not splash. In it, the only inconvenience is the small distance between the nozzle and the table, that is, you cannot put a large container, you must often pour it into a saucepan, for example, a tray fills up very quickly. If anyone has old mechanical (manual) auger meat grinders, you can compare, I put a pan under it right away - I screwed the meat grinder to the table, and twisted the pan on a stool until the pan was full. And here you need to pour out the tray often. This is why it looks like a toy.

I have the same meat grinder. But there were no auger juicers for it. All other attachments are included.
As for boiled potatoes: it is better to chop raw potatoes for salads and then cook them in a double boiler.

Juicers (2 pcs.) Came as a gift for the promotion. And I looked at them on the site where they sell spare parts and additional different attachments. On the issue of potatoes, I do so, only I do not cook in a double boiler, but in a microwave. It turns out faster. Thank you.

Tell someone has a Zelmer 987.84 meat grinder just like that without other letters and numbers. What interests: your opinion and please look at your own where the shaft from the engine is connected to the auger this part metal? And what happens when the meat gets stuck as it shuts down? I ask because some meat grinders have a connection between the motor shaft and the auger through a plastic sleeve. And it breaks when overloaded. There is also an overload shutdown, an electronic or bimetal-based thermal relay, which turns off the engine when it heats up.
Thank you.

Why open a similar topic?
There is also "Help with the choice of an electric meat grinder" and they also opened the "Choice of an electric meat grinder" - the same thing, only in the first topic there are already enough tips and opinions.

[AlKA Alla]

"Choosing an electric meat grinder" was the first. And then, probably, one of the newbies did not score in the search, but created a new one. In this thread AlKA Alla Zelmer described in great detail and other girls showed pictures of him - it convinced me which meat grinder to buy. And in the subject of "Choice" I finally decided that ZELMER is a good thing.
gardenia Vera, I asked you in PM about the size of the cubes. How will the time be, please measure
