Bamix meat / vegetable blade, made in Switzerland

Also known as the mincer or slicing blade or the S blade.

Basically it minces meats and creates pastes. It´s designed specifically to slice through, and mince and chop hard meat or fibrous vegetables, and even boned fish.

The meat blade  is a very versatile blade so you can still use it to chop and puree the veggies for your baby food or to get the lumps out of mashed potatoes or a roux sauce.

Its good for fibrous ingredients so think of using this tool when you want to make a smoothie with difficult fruit and vegetables like rhubarb, leeks and asparagus.

Do bear in mind though that, even though it´s sharper, it is not meant to be used to crush ice. The multi-purpose blade does that job.
