What is a meat mincer good for?
2018. 02. 25.
Although we would hardly expect it based on its name, we can perform up to half a dozen kitchen operations with a single meat mincer. In the case of the meat grinder available for the Ankarsrum basic machine, the multifunctional adjective is not just a good-sounding word: with the device, you can also put together an entire menu for the week or month - and with a variety of food and drinks!
Minced meat is needed in almost every household, it is an important ingredient in countless dishes, from the simplest dishes to delicacies that require intermediate cooking skills. Bolognese, meatloaf, cabbage/cauliflower, lasagna, chili con carne - to name just a few of the many.
A high-quality meat grinder comes in handy for everyone, especially if you can also perform other kitchen operations with it. This is one of the most advantageous features of the Ankarsrum Assistant meat mincer head: it can be transformed with a few accessories and a few moves. (It is important to point out that the meat grinder only works with the Ankarsrum basic machine).
Let's look at its most important functions:
1, Meat mincer
We don't even need to introduce its basic capabilities: it mince any meat (chicken, pork, beef, fish) and is durable thanks to the stainless steel discs and knives. A good example of its performance is that it can mince 70 kg of meat in a single hour.
2, Sausage filler
With the filling tubes that can be connected to the basic machine, you can also make sausages - and not only from meat! It is also an excellent choice for vegan sausage. Three types of tubes of different sizes are available in one set, so you can also adjust the thickness of the sausage. Indispensable help, especially during pig slaughter! (By the way, it is also worth looking here in the case of sausage filling.)
3, Pasta maker
The pasta maker works on a similar principle to the meat grinder. Four different types of pasta can be prepared with the device. (*this product was permanently discontinued in the spring of 2024 - it will no longer be produced!)
4, Cookie attachment
With this tool, we can create a lasting impression in the field of desserts. With the cookie attachment you can make four types of cookies, including wavy, regular cylinders or star-shaped sweets. With fantastically attractive shaped cakes, it is guaranteed that guests will not be able to resist our dessert.
5, Grater
This device, modestly called only grater head part does more than its name promises: in addition to hard cheeses (e.g. Parmesan), it can grind nuts, biscuits, chocolate, but also potatoes or other ingredients. The accessory works in such a way that the machine presses the product to be processed through a perforated aluminum-steel alloy head
6, Fruit and vegetable squeezer
Today, we all know that regular fruit and vegetable consumption is an essential part of a balanced diet. That's why it's also great that you can choose a head part that strainer for Ankarsrum. The delicacies are pressed through a sieve with holes, the valuable nutrients are not filtered out. You can enjoy their beneficial effect by sipping the fruit and vegetable juices and smoothies prepared in this way.
That much at first, but soon we will also test in the kitchen how many delicacies we can make with the head of the Assistent meat mincer!
