The grater and meat grinder in my kitchen since Soviet times, but it is a pleasure to work with them, I will show you how to sharpen correctly. Bashny.Net

When you know what to do in the kitchen and how, it remains only to acquire high-quality products and sharpened tools. This is not the case when the knife is blunt, and cooking mince takes a lot of time and effort. But how to sharpen a meat grinder At home without a special tool? Turns out you can. And in a number of ways.



Some might say that big cities are full of workshops that will do a great job. But! Given the modern environment, workshops may be closed at some point. In small towns, you will not find masters with fire during the day. And for such a tool as grater, for example, they will not take. You have to think creatively.

The most “problematic” devices in the kitchen are a grater, knife, scissors, meat grinder details and a vegetable knife. Let's try to figure out how to bring them back to life and whether we need it at all.

Hand grater is an indispensable item for working in the kitchen. She copes with cheese, vegetables, boiled meat, fruits and even grinds eggs, garlic and chocolate. It all depends on which side we use. For example, the smallest cells are designed for classic parmesan, chocolate and garlic.



Long blades, which are usually located on the side, are useful for obtaining beautiful strips of hard cheese. And on the ordinary, working side, everything is rubbed, even the newly boiled beef liver. Believe me, this is more convenient than "finishing" an innocent blender. His motor is not as powerful as we would like. The technician must be spared.

First you need to make sure that the grater is blunted, and not bent inside due to frequent use. To do this, you need to go get the tools. We will need at least a minimum set of fillet. With their help, we arch the “petals” of graters outside and try to rub the tomato. If there are still problems, we resort to one of 3 popular ways:



Method 1. Same profile. Walk the abrasive side of the tool on the inside of each of the blades. This isn't a quick case. More like meditative. Then wash in running water and check with the same tomato. In most cases, the grater becomes sharp, right from the store.

Method 2. Cup. In general, a cup, or rather its lower abrasive part, can sharpen a lot of things. Driving her on the surface of the grater, as if rubbing a carrot. 5 minutes is enough. Mine, check. A good method with an available “tool”.



Method 3. Foil. The easiest way is to rub the grater with foil. But in advanced cases, it may not cope. We lump a couple of pieces of foil into not very dense balls and just rub them into shavings. Metal rubs against metal. And it works! Mine, check, enjoy. Terka is sharpened.

Knives and scissors If for some reason there was no sharpener in the house - no problem. We'll use the same cup. Turn it upside down and sharpen the blades of knives, as in the case of a conventional grinding stone. Abrasive works equally well.



Scissors can also be sharpened in this way, but for this they need to spin. If this is not possible, try sharpening two pairs of scissors. each other. Yes, it takes time to master the technique. But that's not all. Kitchen scissors or ordinary very quickly and efficiently sharpen... nail-fill! And the condition of this file can be completely “tired”.

Because of the not too standard shape of knives for meat grinder with them will have a little tinkering. But we do not offer anything particularly difficult. Take a few pieces of sandpaper and drive them with a meat grinder blade just in circular motions.



For initial sharpening, we recommend taking paper with a grain content of 600. Now that the blades are sharpened at their initial stage, we move on to a thicker grain. A smooth transition from rough sandpaper to more and more shallow is the key to success. We recommend stopping at 1200 grains. Razor sharpness is of no use to us, knives will perfectly cope with their work and do not become dull.

Meat grinder net sharpens the knife. But to do this, the knife must constantly sharpen itself only on one side of the same. netting. Therefore, for convenience, we advise you to sharpen the grid only on one side. So it will be easier to understand which side to put it to the knives. The meat grinder will last much longer and with much less problems.



That’s all, for the most basic manipulations in the kitchen, this should be enough. Knives for electric meat grinder - the tool is very gentle and balanced. If you do something wrong, the whole machine can start to work badly. We advise you to sharpen or change them in the store where they were purchased.
