Mixer Grinder

About

The right mixer grinder is not necessarily the one with the highest wattage or the largest number of jars. Think about what you prepare most often and then match the appliance to those tasks. For everyday cooking, that could mean dry grinding spices, making chutneys, preparing pastes, blending liquids or working with batter. A smaller mixer can make sense for lighter, smaller-batch use, while a more powerful model may be useful when grinding is more frequent or demanding. Before buying, look at the motor wattage, jar configuration, blade design, speed control, overload protection and the manufacturer's stated usage specifications together. What Can You Make With a Mixer Grinder? A good kitchen mixer grinder is useful because different jars and blades can handle different preparations. Dry grinding is useful for spices and other ingredients that need to be processed without adding liquid. Wet grinding combines ingredients with liquid to make pastes, chutneys and similar preparations. Blending is useful for smoothies, shakes, purees and other liquid or semi-liquid recipes. Juicing and wider food preparation depend on the attachments supplied with the specific model. Some Orient Electric 4-jar models include a dedicated juicer jar, while the Chefspecial Kitchen Genie Food Processor is designed for a wider set of food-preparation functions. That is why the number and type of jars can be just as important as the motor rating. 400W, 500W, 750W or 1250W: Which Wattage Should You Choose? Wattage is one of the first numbers you will notice on a mixer grinder, but it should be read in the context of your cooking habits.
