A Cleaning Tip For Your Grinder
Hi,
I love my grinder and have not any problems with it. After I slice the meat into strips, I partially freeze the meat before grinding it. When I have finished grinding, I take a piece of bread and grind it to push the rest of the meat through the grinder. I then take the grinder apart and rinse it out and soak it for about 5 minutes in a dishpan of hot soapy water with about a tablespoon of bleach. Wash and rinse the grinder thoroughly and lay on a terry towel to dry. I hope this helps an...

High Quality
I had a stand-alone food grinder that I had used for meat grinding for years. The "knife" broke in half while I was preparing dinner for out-of-town visitors, dinner was over an hour late for everyone.
This food grinder's "knife" is double the thickness of the one that broke and the whole unit is robust.
The unit goes though food easily, with power to spare and does not get clogged.
If I could change anything it would be the hieght of the grinder. Due to the total h...

Great attachment, but pusher could be better, and cleaning is a pain
As long as you follow the instructions (cold, almost frozen meat, in small chunks, ground twice) you can make fresh burgers, sausages, etc. extremely easily. Overall I recommend this attachment, but be aware of three flaws:
1) The pusher is a large plastic deal with an odd handle that doubles as a lever to aid in unscrewing the front plate if it is stuck. This is handy, but the design is overall somewhat flimsy, and it has edges that can catch the meat and prevent it from being drawn...

Now you too can have legendary meatballs!
This is the only attachment that I've bought so far for my Kitchenaid stand mixer, and it has paid for itself in two months!
Now, I'm not a gourmet chef (unfortuantely for my husband), and I have no prior experience making sausage (unfortunately for me), but it is surprising how inspirational a little gadget like this can be when I have had such success for so little effort with several recipes. Even though I have only used this attachment for grinding my own beef and turkey, my meatballs ...

Great for low volume grinding
I bought the Food Grinder attachment a few years back and use it on a semi-regular basis for meat grinding and making cranbery relish.
I typically grind 5 or 6 pounds of meat for chili and the grinder does a pretty good job of it. I've found that you can't stuff the grinder full of meat or the mixer motor begins to bog down pretty badly. I have the Kitchenaid Pro-line version of the mixer, not the lower powered mixer. If you're going to be using the lower end model, make sure you don'...

Kitchen Aid Food Grinder Attachment
The product did not have the wooden part shown in the picture. Instead, it had a different plastic piece to push the food into the grinder with. I would rather have had the wooden piece shown in the picture.

My most used attachment
Given all the concerns about e-coli and mad cow, we decided last year to start grinding our own beef and lamb. This grinder does the job perfectly. We grind right into the short round Ziplock boxes (about a hamburger's worth), which go into the basement freezer, and then we turn out the frozen "hockey pucks" onto a plate to defrost in the microwave, or right into the pot for bolognese sauce or sloppy joes. ("Honey, would you bring me up a couple of hockey pucks for dinner?)Assembly is easy an...

Great attachment, Most often used out of them all
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 crum...

It gets the job done, but it's nothing special.
I work in the food industry, so I'm unfortunately comparing this to its commercial counterparts. If you have small batches of meat to be ground at a time, this grinder is so much better than the crank grinders and gets the job done in a quarter of the time. I still use it, but here's what I don't like about it:
The blade is junk. It doesn't cut the meat at all, and is more prone than ever to getting silver skin and grizzle wrapped around it, forcing you to stop and clean it regularly ...

the attachment workhorse
I've used this attachment more times than I ever thought I would. I've used it to prepare food items for my family as well as food items for crowds as large as 200 and regardless of what it is I've been making, this attachment has rolled through it without complaint. In combination with other pieces such as the sausage stuffer or the fruit attachments, you may well find that this single attachment stays on your machine the longest. I am absoultely stunned at how easy it is to put together and...
