Features to look for
While shopping for a wet grinder, it is easy to get influenced by brands and interesting technical terms. But these do not necessarily enable a customer to take the correct decision. It is the presence of the features which have a very important role to play in the final selection. Some of the important features to look for are:
- Type of wet grinder: Generally three types of wet grinders are readily available in the market. They are:
- Regular wet grinders are big as they are meant for commercial use,
- Table-top wet grinders are meant for the regular home kitchen use and
- Tilting wet grinders are the most convenient wet grinders since they can be tilted to empty the container.
- Capacity: Calculated in litres, the capacity of the grinder ranges from 2 to 15litres. The choice of the capacity of a wet grinder therefore depends on its usage. Hence for small families, as small wet grinder is enough but for bigger families, a wet grinder with a bigger capacity is needed.
- Overload protection: This feature refers to the maximum amount of load that can be put on the grinder machine. Any weight beyond this results in the stoppage of the machine due to overload.
- Quantity of stones: Generally the number of stones ranges from 1 to 3. The greater the number of stones, the lesser is the grinding time required. Hence single stone wet grinders take the maximum time while the 3 stone grinders take the least time to grind things.
- Shape of the stones: The stones can either be conical or cylindrical in shape. It has been found that conical stones with their sharp edges grind better than the cylindrical ones. In fact conical stones do not give the ungrounded materials any space to freely move about thus forcing them under the stones thereby grinding them.
- Drum material: The surface present inside the grinder is known as the drum material. It can be made up of steel or stones. While stones tend to get eroded in the long run, steel offers better value for money thereby enabling the wet grinder to have a longer life.
- Extra attachments: The wet grinder also comes with certain extra attachments like the coconut grater, the Atta kneader etc. Since the presence of extra attachments tend to bring about a substantial increase in price, these extras should only be purchased if there is a definite need for the same.
Wet Grinder Brands
