Meat Grinder MK-GX1710

MK-GX1710 delivers smooth grinding performance with its combination of specially designed Made-in-Japan blade and Panasonic's motor technology, which further increases the meat grinding performance. The meat grinder's curved blade edge accomplishes a common Japanese technique used for cutting ingredients wherein pulling the knife towards you as you cut helps bring clean slices as this method uses the sharpest part of the knife. In addition, MK-GX1710's blades are slightly bulged, as seen on traditional Japanese swords, which help to bite into the flesh better.  This means efficient meat grinding is achieved, and on top of that, the cutting blade easily cuts through the fibre of the meat, minimizing the amount of meat dripping, thus ensuring retention of flavors and nutrients in the minced meat.  The appliance's 1700-watt motor – and deeper shape tray design – makes it even more convenient when you want to grind a large amount of meat at any time.  Easy to use with a simple On/Off reverse button when grinding, MK-GX1710 comes with interchangeable cutting plates and attachments to help you prepare a treasure trove of Ramadan culinary staples such sausage and kibbeh.
