These are very common and famous usages of this hand food processing machine. The use of this small machine will make your work fast and easy.

How Does it Work?

The working process of Mouli is very simple. There is no rocket science in it. Here I am going to reveal to you the working process of this hand running small blender.

There are four main parts of a Mouli grater. They are:

1. Handle/ Presser
2. Cylinder
3. Drum
4. Cylinder Turner

The functions of these parts are different. They contribute to the main task of it. Here I am going to reveal how a Mouli grater works.

1/ Handle or Presser

This part has double functions. It helps the user to hold the whole machine and also to press the food element. When you place any food into the drum, it needs some pressure to hit the cylinder. If you press it harder then it will work fast. So, this is a very important part of a Mouli grater. Without pressing or holding the device, you will not be able to use it properly.

2/ Cylinder

This part works like a blade. When you place any item in the drum and press it by the handle then it will not work. Need something to cut the item and make small pieces. The cylinder plays the role of a blade. It will cut the item into small pieces through its small holes and make the work done.

3/ Drum

The drum is the holder of the food item. It holds the food item and helps the cylinder to cut it. This is also important for the whole process. The presser presses the food item inside it.

4/ The Cylinder Turner

The blade-functioning cylinder needs to move to different sides to make the process working. To move this, there is a turner. It is also a kind of handle that turns the cylinder in a round. There are a huge number of small holes in the cylinder. Every time it turns, the holes cut the food into pieces. Thus it works.

Benefits of using Mouli?

There are lots of benefits of using Mouli in your kitchen. It will at a time make your task easy and fast and also it will make your food more delicious. You need to use this for your needs. It is very safe to use. Other food processors need power to work. But Mouli will work without any power or electricity. Controlling other processors is very hard and tough but it is very easy and safe. Besides these benefits, you will be able to use this device for many reasons that I already discussed in the upper section of this article.
