The knife is perhaps the most important and necessary kitchen tool. Without it, not one of the processes of primary processing of products. That is why it is so important that the knives are not only quality, comfortable and durable. You have to take care of knives. How? It is very simple: regularly wash and undermine. With the first paragraph everything is clear - no one will use dirty knives. But sharpening knives is more serious. It is not everyone's ability to cope with it, despite the external, seeming simplicity of the procedure. To facilitate the life of the housewives, many devices and devices have been developed that help restore the lost sharpness of the knives with minimal effort. It's about one of these devices - an elektronozhetochke - we'll talk in this article.
How to choose a knife?
Before choosing a knife, think about the purpose for which you plan to purchase this product. It would seem that the question is elementary - sharpen knives. But do not forget that knives can be made from a variety of materials, be of different shapes. Think about how many knives you have, how often you use them and how often you have to undermine them.
Most modern automatic electric knives are universal - suitable for different types of knives. But there are also narrowly specialized devices, for example, electric knives for ceramic knives . Be sure to specify which blades are suitable for the knife before buying it.
Very often in the knives are additional functions, such as sharpening the blades of scissors and screwdrivers, as well as undulating blades.
When choosing a model, be sure to consider its size - the base area and height. So you can avoid crowding in the kitchen and cluttering work surfaces with unnecessary appliances.
How to sharpen knives with a knife?
In electric knives, as the name implies, the process of sharpening the blade is performed using an electric drive. The user only needs the smallest thing - choose the appropriate type of blade connector, insert the sharpened object there and several times hold the surface of the knife (scissors) along the grinding stones located in the connector.
In the general form, the algorithm works as follows:
- First of all, it is necessary to put the electronic pin on an even dry surface and turn the device into an outlet with a voltage of 220V.
- Determine the appropriate type of blade connector.
- Then you need to press the button that starts the device. In most models it is quite large and is highlighted in contrast color.
- While holding the button, swipe the blade back and forth several times. Sharpen the main blade blade, hold the knife parallel to the floor. When sharpening the tip of the knife, slightly raise the knife handle upwards (so that the cutting surface of the blade runs parallel to the floor).
- After finishing the sharpening, you should hold the side surface of the knife on a wooden or plastic plate. This will remove the microarrays, which are sometimes formed during the grinding process.
- Then the knife must be thoroughly washed and dried, after which it is fully ready for use.
To sharpen the screwdriver, you need to turn on the device in the network, press the start button and insert a screwdriver into the corresponding hole. Depending on the model of the knife, the algorithm of operation may differ slightly.
With the help of a sharp knife you cut necessary products easily, without tension, and dullness makes you nervous and put extra effort, and as a result, the knife slips or breaks, and you get injured. Regular use of the knife helps you maintain the sharpness of the knives for a long time and makes working with them not only more convenient, but also safer.
