Cutting safety

BÖRNER vegetable cutters are renowned for their sharp blades, so handle carrots with extra care. To safely cut the product to the end, we recommend using a fruit holder, which you can always purchase separately.

If you have a beneficiary

1. Fix the carrot in the fruit holder by putting it on the pins with a thick end, slightly sink its back into the holder.

2. Cut evenly, to one side - away from you.

3. Important! During the return movement of the fruit holder with carrots, when the hand comes off the grater, do not put pressure on the piston of the fruit holder, otherwise the carrot will fall out: you will squeeze it out of the “cap”.

How to hold a grater

When working on a table, hold the grater as horizontal as possible and cut away from you. When cutting thin long straws, carrots can rest against the table, so we recommend cutting on a special bowl. On it the grater is fixed rigidly and horizontally. Sudok is sold separately.

How to work with a grater attached to a Sudoka.

On the handle of the vessel there is a slot in which it is necessary to attach the handle of the grater.

Hold the sudok with one hand, and with the other, move the fruit holder with the carrots chopped on it away from you.

Korean carrot salad.

When cooking carrots, it all depends on individual tastes, but there are main technological features:

1. The main components of this salad are: carrots, sugar, salt, vinegar, vegetable oil and red hot pepper.

2. Basic proportions: for 1 kilogram of carrots - one tablespoon of sugar, two tablespoons of 9-12% vinegar, a teaspoon of salt (without top), 70-120 g of vegetable oil.

3. Salad oil is usually heated to a high temperature, but not brought to a boil.

4. If you add chopped garlic to carrots, then this should be done at the very end, after the oil in the salad has cooled, otherwise the garlic will turn green and spoil the look of the salad.

5. Chopped onions for salad must be scalded with boiling water.

6. Drain excess oil from salad before serving.

7. During long marinating (at least 12 hours), finely chopped fresh fish or squid, boiled meat can be put in a carrot salad. You get a traditional Heh salad.

Calling this dish "Korean salad" is actually not correct. It is not prepared in Korea. "Carrot in Korean" comes from the Soviet Union. This dish was popular among "Koryo-saram" (Soviet Koreans - immigrants from North Korea). They moved to Russia even before the revolution, and under Stalin they were deported from Primorye to Central Asia. In traditional Korean cuisine, it is customary to marinate fresh meat or fish using the juice and pulp of a radish or radish, as well as vinegar and hot spices. Since in the USSR carrots were more affordable than radishes, they gradually replaced the usual vegetable. During the development of the Kazakh virgin lands in 1956-1961. there were problems with the availability and storage of fresh fish and, especially, fresh meat. Therefore, gradually, from the components of the Heh salad, which the Korean virgin lands tried to cook, only one carrot remained. Thus, the international "Komsomol virgin lands" gave rise to a new dish in Russia and Ukraine - Korean-style carrots, and today many salads are prepared on its basis.

Decide on the type. If you are looking for an inexpensive option, then opt for a manual attachment, but it will not be suitable for chopping large volumes of vegetables. A Korean-style mechanical shredder for carrots can become the “golden mean”. An electric one is often a multifunctional harvester that is not only suitable for cutting carrots, but it is expensive.
holder material. Many devices are made of plastic, but wooden products can also be found in stores. The latter are stronger, not prone to mechanical damage, but heavy.
Blades. They must be made of steel and at the same time remain sharp for a long time. It would be better if they were self-sharpening.
Nozzles. The more there are, the better. Some kits consist of five nozzles, allowing you to shred in different ways.
