MEAT
GRINDER
A meat grinder is a kitchen
appliance for fine chopping ('mincing') and/or mixing of raw or
cooked meat, fish, vegetables or
similar food. It replaces tools like the mincing knife, for example, which is
also used to produce minced meat, filling, etc. The producer puts the minced
food into a funnel, which is placed on the top of the grinder. From there the
material goes on a horizontal screw conveyor.
This screw conveyor, which can be powered by a hand
wheel or an electric motor, squashes and partially mixes the food. At the end
of the screw, conveyor there is a knife installed directly in front of the
fixed hole plate. At this opening the minced meat comes out of the machine. The
fineness of the meat depends on the size of the holes of the plate.
By changing the hole plate it is also possible to
produce breadcrumbs or fill sausage casing.
After the drop from the retainer, it is possible to change the hole plate. By
removing the fixing screw the grinder can be disassembled completely for
cleaning. Besides the domestic manually or motor operated grinders, there are
also grinders for butchery (table- or shop-grinders for example) and for the
food industry. Some large machines are able to produce several tons per hour.
CARVING FORK
A common utensil for use when slicing
meats, poultry, fish and other food items. Carving forks are used to hold foods
securely in place as well as keeping hands away from the sharp blades of the
knives as food is being prepared. Longer tines will allow the fork to go deeper
into the food so the larger pieces of meat can be kept stable as they are
carved.
GRATER
A grater (also known as a shredder) is a kitchen utensil used to grate foods into fine pieces. It was invented
by François Boullier in the 1540s, originally to grate cheese.
Several types of graters feature different sizes of grating slots, and can
therefore aid in the preparation of a variety of foods. They are commonly used
to grate cheese and lemon or orange peel
(to create zest),
and can also be used to grate other soft foods.
They
are commonly used in the preparation of toasted cheese, wesh rarebit,
and dishes which contain cheese sauce such as macaroni and cheese, cauliflower cheese. In slavic cuisine, graters are commonly used to grate Potatoes for
preparation of dishes, including draniki, brambprak, or potato babka.
In
tropical countries graters are also used to grate coconut meat.
In indian subcontinent. I the grater is used for preparation of a popular
dessert, Gajar Ka Hawa.
Graters
produce shreds that are thinner at the ends than the middle. This allows the
grated material to melt or cook in a different manner than the shreds of mostly
uniform thickness produced by the grating blade of a food processor . Hand-grated potatoes, for example, melt together more
easily in a potato pancake than food-processed potato shreds.
