Incredibly simple advice, thanks to which your meat grinder will serve for a very long time without sharpening knives. It is enough to observe the simplest rule when reassembling the meat grinder, which will save the cutting edges of the knives from blunting.
So that the meat grinder knives do not dull for a long time
To begin with, the new meat grinder knives have a perfect flat surface and are best suited to each other. During the grinding of meat between the knives there is a minimum gap through which the product does not enter and the meat is cut with sharp edges with minimal effort.
When the product is twisted, you take apart and wash the meat grinder parts as usual.
And now you should pay attention that even after one time, work appears on the knife-net. Here is the outside:
And here is the inner one that came in contact with the cross-shaped knife. And traces of friction and development are clearly visible on it.
The main advice is this: the knife-net should not be turned over during the entire operation until re-sharpening.
That is, after washing, you must put back the knife-net with the rubbed side to the cross-shaped knife as well. It is important!
The fact is that in the process of working on both knives, a development appears that is not uniform, but on both surfaces of the knives. As a result, the knives are well ground to each other, despite the unevenness between their planes.
And if you suddenly accidentally turn the mesh over with the new side to the cross knife, then their surfaces will no longer touch as they should, due to the fact that there is a wave-like development on the cross-shaped knife, the pattern of which corresponds only to the worked out side of the mesh knife.
As a result, meat will start to fall into this gap, as a result of which it will not be cut, but torn, which will lead to a blunt knife.
Here is a simple tip that will save your knives and extend their maximum working time until the next sharpening.
