A meat grinder is an indispensable assistant in the kitchen, allowing you to prepare cutlets, dumplings, meatballs and other dishes.
However, caring for a meat grinder requires special attention, so we decided to introduce you to the rules for caring for this device.
The main one is: do not wash the meat grinder in the dishwasher.
The body, auger and handle of the meat grinder are usually made of various aluminum alloys.
This metal is considered very active and safe as long as it is covered with a light film of oxides.
Although this film is resistant to high temperatures, it is destroyed by reaction with alkaline detergents used in dishwashers.
As a result, the meat grinder parts darken, but that’s not the worst of it – aluminum compounds accumulate in the body, which is fraught with health problems.
If we talk about cast iron and iron, which is used in the production of meat grinder knives, they do not tolerate prolonged moisture well, so after washing in the dishwasher they often become covered with rust.
Earlier we talked about whether it is possible to wash a refrigerator with bleach.
