Определение и Значение "meat grinder"

What is a "meat grinder"?

A meat grinder is a kitchen appliance specifically designed for grinding meat into smaller pieces or mincing it finely. It typically consists of a hopper where the meat is placed, a feeding tube to guide the meat into the grinding mechanism, and a variety of cutting plates with different hole sizes to control the fineness of the grind. Meat grinders can be manual, operated by hand, or electric, powered by a motor for faster and more efficient grinding. They are commonly used for preparing ground meat for dishes such as burgers, sausages, meatballs, and meatloaf, as well as for processing other ingredients like vegetables or nuts.
