Diced blender
A blender is a unique kitchen appliance that performs many functions: it cuts, mixes, whips and simply crumbles. This is a necessary kitchen appliance that simplifies cooking. There are several types of such devices - from mechanical with manual control to stand-alone stationary. Thanks to the nozzles, you can use each of them to the maximum of its capabilities. If it is necessary to chop vegetables into cubes and quickly make a salad, you will need a special nozzle for this method of grinding products.
Advantages and disadvantages
The blender with the dicing function is a device that has a special nozzle. Such a mechanism replaces the mechanical vegetable cutter and easily performs other functions. As a rule, a set also includes several graters and knives, thanks to which the device can cut fruit with a nozzle, beat milkshakes on the other, and make stuffing on the third with a meat grinder.
The device with additional blades copes with the grinding of fruits, but is also suitable for vegetables. There are several types of materials from which there can be an additional nozzle for cutting cubes:
- plastic - easier and more economical to use, but this is where its advantages end. The plastic in the base makes it less quality, and its service life is not as big as we would like. With daily use, the knife, which cuts food, quickly becomes thinner. And the plastic parts are washable and can be damaged. In addition, the plastic nozzle, which cuts vegetables in cubes, can not be used with hot foods;
- metal - better and more expensive part of the blender. Manufacturers can produce titanium and steel accessories. Experts advise to give preference to just such details, since their service life is unlimited, and the design is such that it can be used with different blenders, which is important when replacing the device. Knives in the base are used with a titanium coating or stainless steel, which allows cutting fruits and vegetables daily, and quickly and hot.
As a rule, diced blenders are rarely made into cubes. You can buy the nozzle separately, and its cost depends on the material of manufacture and the brand of the manufacturer. By itself, it has an elongated shape with metal plates stretched up and down: passing vegetables and fruits through them, grinding into cubes takes place.
