Food Grinder Attachment by KitchenAid

I first thought that grinding meat was a big deal, it's not. This grinder works great I love it! The only thing that you have to make shure is that the ring that holds the grinding plate it place is not too tight.This will put exsessive stran on the motor.
I put it on just untill it stops and no more, because the auger is pushing the meat aganst the plate with alot of presher and keeps the ring tight. Makeing the ring too tight will most likely burn up the motor in your mixer. I hope that this helps anyone who has had this problem.

It killed my mixer!!! Now I'm facing about a $125.00 repair bill on my beautiful
K'Aid Stand Mixer that I've only had for a year!

The mixer now labors badly almost to the point where the motor might get damaged! Before I used this ill-fated grinder, the mixer worked beautifully with no problems.

The transmission is all messed up and some of the gears and the one that's in the accessory drive have to be replaced to get it working like new again.

Leave this product alone. Don't bother with it because it could ultimately destroy your K'Aid Stand Mixer, causing an expensive repair bill!!

It makes mush out of meat if it's not really cold. When the meat is near frozen it works like a charm.

I purchased the grinder and sausage stuffers to make holiday sausage. It emulsified the meat and took us twenty minutes to get a 12" ring. We switched to the old hand crank and got out 30 lbs. in about 40 mins. This would probably be fine for other things but not acceptable for sausage or probably meat grinding in general. Also the holes are too small and the pusher is a plastic thing not the wooden one they picture.

We found that the grinding operation works very well but stuffing the casings is very slow and painstaking. We will find an alternate means to filling casings for the future.
