Costumer Reviews

I have a KitchenAid and I must say, they are as excellent as their high reputation. I purchased the mixer mainly to make bread, but what tends to make it even better are the accessories. These convert the stand mixer/dough maker into a vegetable processor, grinder and sausage maker. There is also a grain grinder that definitely works fairly nicely. Here are the pros and cons of this set, as I see it:

Pros:

You get a decent meat grinder with two blades, coarse and fine. This implies you can make ground turkey with no additives, ground chicken with no added fat, or fresh ground beef. You can also grind meat for sausage (about which, later.)

You get a slicer related to those hand-turned cone forms that make cole slaw or waffled carrot slices.

Cons:

The sausage nozzle for filling the casings is not included. This is, in my opinion, certainly dumb. It really is just a couple of pieces of molded plastic. For heaven's sake, contain it.

The slicer is a bit clunky. If you do not put the bowl to catch the shreds just perfect, you get slaw all more than. And occasionally it is difficult to get the cone off the flanges of the connecting pin that fits into the mixer attachment point. But screwing it into the mixer and grabbing with a rubber mat commonly works for me.

I prefer a mandoline, a food processor or even a major board and a actually sharp chef's knife to the slicer, but it does save on counter space. So, this is a wonderful thing to have as an addition to your KitchenAid if you do any sort of prep cooking, such as canning, salads, baby foods, venison processing, or sausages. It is really great top quality plastic and metal, though the cone blade finish seems a bit crude to me. I can advise it, with the reservations I talked about.

I purchased this set about 2 years ago. The shredders work OK, but it is less difficult and less mess to chop them by hand. Substantially of the create gets caught among the housing and the shredder. It's difficult finding uniform cuts. The piece that is poorly developed is the meat grinder. I am on my second grinder. Each the feeder shaft and the housing are constructed of a plastic molding on metal. Over a somewhat brief amount of use, they both began to crack apart at the unions. This of course is not excellent, being they are applied on meat and it tends to make it pretty much impossible to clean. I would recommend going for a good sharp knife and a seperate all metal meat grinder (which I am now seeking for).
