Blender Chopper

Increasingly, experienced housewives choose an easy-to-use multifunctional blender chopper to work in the kitchen, preferring it to cumbersome food processors and heavy meat grinders. A simple and compact device helps to cut, grind or whip up food for cooking and decorating dishes as quickly and accurately as no skillful chef does.

The main difference between a shredder and a simple blender is in its fundamental approach to cutting and the difference in the final product.

Although some of his nozzles also work as knives and are able to chop vegetables, fruits and greens, but they rather turn them into a mush, and it is not always suitable for cooking delicious food.Therefore, it is most often used for the priming of welded products and the mixing of liquids.

Whereas an ordinary blender does not always have such tasks.

It is carried out with sharp knives or nozzles.which are built in or inserted into the container and driven manually or rotated using an electric motor.Unlike traumatic work with a kitchen knife, the cutting process in a shredder is completely harmless, and it also happens much faster, easier and more aesthetically.

The design of the blender-grinder is simple - it is a miniature durable container for loading ingredientsin with a rod attached to its bottom, where various nozzles are put in the form of sharp blades, shredders or graters and a lid with a manual or electric drive that starts the operation of knives.

Some manual shredders are like a coffee grinder, where the knives are rotated by hand using a special handle. In others, a cap with a knife attachment is used for cutting ingredients, which is lowered like a press by mechanical pressing from the top. However, the scope of their application is rather limited by weak functionality and a poor set of chop-friendly products that will prove to be due to manual labor. They are inexpensive, and made of quality materials serve for a long time.

Knives they run with the help of a motor that runs on a power supply network. From its power depends on the speed and quality of cutting ingredients.

As well as a large selection of additional interchangeable nozzles and knives, designed not only to masterfully crush various ingredients, but also to beat them, and mix, and grind into mashed potatoes or smoothies, and knead the dough of any consistency.

The functions of the blender-shredder, as well as the size and shape of the products cut into it, directly depend on the configuration of knives and replaceablenozzles and the size of the container for loading ingredients and engine power of this kitchen unit. By the way, he alone is quite capable of replacing not only ordinary and specialized knives, but even a whole food processor.

He literally in a few seconds will cut onions, garlic and greens, masterfully chop cabbage, potatoes, carrots and beets, and in an instant, he will pick walnuts or hazelnuts - at least finely, at least large.

This small kitchen unit is quite capable of the functions and functions of a meat grinder: it can grind and turn even frozen fish and meat into uniform stuffing - even chicken fillet, liver or breast, even the tender flesh of catfish, salmon, turkey or chicken, and even veined pork or beef tenderloin.

It is suitable for grinding raw and boiled vegetables (including fresh beets and carrots), and for cutting bread crusts and nuts, and for grinding spices and coffee, and for chopping ice.

It is great when such equipment includes not only replaceable knives, nozzles and graters, but also additional different-sized bowls for loading and grinding.

Other useful accessories will also be useful. - containers of various capacities and lids for them, a glass with a scale for measuring the volume of products and a measuring spoon, a holder for knives and a cubic cutter, a case for nozzles and graters, interchangeable sealing rings and a wireless electric drive, a transmission for a nozzle with corollas. Although the presence of all these devices will significantly affect the increase in the cost of the blender-shredder, yet their presence in the kitchen will pay for itself repeatedly.
