Grinder and Pasta plates November 15, 2003

If you try to make pasta with the food grinder/pasta plate combination, better follow the recipe exactly or you'll loose material and time.

Not a good accessory for this excellent mixer September 13, 2003
38 out of 48 found this review helpful

I am on my second grinder - no more! It grinds OK, but when you're finished, there is always some meat caught between the blade and the disc. The blade doesn't seem to hold its' sharpness. But the most frustrating problem is that both the feed shaft and the housing are made of molded plastic on metal. After relatively little use, the plastic begins to crack and break away from the metal. Since this is used for grinding meat, the cracks make it extreamly hard to clean. I recommend against this accessory and suggest finding a seperate all metal meat grinder (which I am in the process of doing).

Great tool September 5, 2003

I bought the food grinder attachment and have used it so many times to grind fresh meat, which I vacseal in a FoodSaver bag.
This has kept my meat at optimum best for cooking, as well as
freezing safely. Wise use of spending.

I have no axe to grind. June 24, 2003
But if I did, this super grinder would have a go. This past weekend a local store had botrtom round on sale for $1.19. My family isn't into pot roast but we eat a lot of hamburger.
My wife picked up four roasts for the freezer. I trimmed the fat from one (surprisingly little) and made hamburgers for a meal and a gallon of meat sauce for about $4.50 in meat cost. I double grind using the small plate. The burger is juicy with no grease puddle left after panfrying. I grind in some fat for flavor and juice. The plates and cutter appear to be made of stainless, which I clean in the silverware tray. If you own the mixer, get the grinder. I just ordered the sausage tubes and a sausage cookbook from this
noble establishment. This item provides frugality and quality and is a must have. I have a cylindrical foam brush that does the tubular thing. Gristle, connective tissue do get wadded up in the various parts but do not impair function. You need to eyeball each part after the dishwasher.

Great attachment, Most often used out of them all March 13, 2003

I bought this attachment at the same time I bought two or three other attachments, and this is the one I use all of the time. I found that grinding meats to be very useful. I have a mother who is 88 and she prefers everything tender and juicy. So unless it is cooked until it is super tender, she doesn't eat it. With the Kitchen Aid FGA that is all solved. For example I buy chicken in large quantities when it is on sale, and grind it up. Adding shredded rye bread, some Italian seasoned bread crumbs , rosemary, and oregano in the mix, and I make a hamburger(chicken)-meat loaf, or meat balls that are tender. Without the food grinder, I would have to buy preground meat.
Their are those who find that the best way to buy chicken is whole, that way you can inspect the whole bird. By buying parts, they are able to cut out the unsightlies, and sell the parts. With preground meat that is even more of a concern. With the Food Grinder attachment, you have the option of handling that item whichever way you may choose.
Clean up is a snap. It almost falls apart, disassembly is that easy. Cleans up easily with some soap and warm water, or by putting it into the dishwasher. The cutting blades are handwashed. They appear to be high strength steel, and I am concerned about them getting lost in the wash, and degrading the finish. They clean up in only a minute. The rest of it goes into the dishwasher.
Even though the FGA is made out of plastic on the outside, the internal components are metal. It is very durable, and works without a snag. No jams, no problems. It attaches easily to the front of your Kitchen Aid stand mixer, and sits very securely. I expect it will last for a very long period of time.
