Metal Grinder Attachment

I’ve been using my grandma’s hand grinder to make cranberry relish every year but it’s always hard to get it mounted to the table or countertop and it drips cranberry juice everywhere. This grinder attachment for my Kitchenade mixer worked like a charm. It mounted easily to the attachment port and ground up our cranberries and oranges with ease. There was no drippy mess and all the parts cleaned easily with warm soapy water. The attachment feels sturdy and would probably do the same awesome job with meat or anything else you needed to grind. It comes with a variety of blades for all uses and is easy to put together. We didn’t use the sausage stuffing attachment so I cannot speak to that part of the grinder. I recommend this grinder attachment.

I have a 3/4 HP Legg Big Byte Grinder, and so I am very comfortable making sausages in large quantities. That being said pulling out all of my project gear for making a few quick pounds of meat is a total pain in the behind (Yes I know first world problems, but I do this as a hobby so I like having the right tools). This grinder is perfect for my intended task. I have a 600 Pro Series KitchenAid mixer I'm using to drive this. Assembly is easy and straightforward if you have used grinders before. If you haven't I suggest watching a video or two. The metal of the actual grinding tube is a little thin, but if you consider the actual KitchenAid product was plastic I will take thin all day. There is a key advantage to a metal grinder, are you can freeze it before grinding, where plastic wouldn't take and hold the cold. Again the light material mass of the metal grinder won't hold cold as long as heavier metal products on dedicated grinders, it's lightyears ahead of a plastic solution. As for cleaning, I found it to be no better or worse than any grinder, and the inclusion of a fitted brush is ahead of the other grinder that I ordered a kit for cleaning after the fact at an additional expense. The need to hand wash is fine, I only run my bigger stuff through the dishwasher for sanitation considerations, I fully clean the parts by hand first, and end with a spray sanitizer anyways. The included blades are good enough for most tasks, I don't feel the need to try to hunt down extra blades. I would suggest using a non-foot-controlled grinder to stuff casings as a challenging task, again for a few links it would be ok, but I wouldn't suggest attempting to do tons of cased meat with this tool. I actually use a purpose-built stuffer that is hand-driven for this task should I be making cased sausage. Lastly, my only quality concern is around the meat stuffing tool for pushing it down the throat of the grinder, the plastic is very light weight. If you get overly forceful in pressing the meat down it could collapse or break and it's custom fit to this grinder. In conclusion, this is a great ad hoc grinder for a few pounds of meat. Given the option, I wouldn't plan to grind more than a few pounds of meat with this, it is possible but I would not recommend it. Easy to deploy, and use, easy to clean up.

works very good...l

Easy to use and clean. Worked well for grinding brisket trim.

Cheaper then the KitchenAid grinder and works the same, fits good l, easily taken apart to clean

The stainless model is the only way to go, this is an excellent meat grinder.

Packaging was great. Product seams to be very durable

Looks good, quick delivery .
