Rated 5 out of 5 by OhanaZ4 from My New Favorite! I bought the metal food grinder attachment about a year ago and it sat on a shelf all this time until I decided to make my own hamburger mix using beef chuck and pork shoulder. I think I was more afraid of cleaning the grinder than actually using it but after the first use, I found out what a great job it does on grinding meat and how easy it is to clean! The unit comes apart down to just the right size and parts to make cleaning a breeze!! The hamburger patties I was able to make from scratch were a big hit and everyone wanted to know how I got just the right taste. . .they thought it was store bought!!! This is my new favorite.

Rated 5 out of 5 by KESP from I did not know the flavor I was missing until now! The metal food grinder is a well-made attachment for my powerful Kitchen Aid mixer. I bought it to experiment with grinding larger cuts of meat instead of just buying what the grocery store had. What a difference in flavor and texture! I ground a chuck roast and vegetables (onion, carrot, garlic) for a Bolognese sauce and then tried it another time for hamburgers. I like that the flavorings can be ground with the meat for those type of recipes. I had the plastic version of the grinder from an earlier purchase but was disappointed-- I gave that one away now that I have the all metal one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Big Will from Metal Food Grinder Attachment I have not made sausage 35 years. I bought my wife the Kitchen Aid mixer for Christmas last year, which we appsalotly love. Then I started looking trough the Kitchen Aid web site and found this meat grinder on sale. It is outstanding. I have made sausage with it 3 times now and it has worked perfectly each time. It I sure so easy to set up and use. It is heavy duty and well made. When making sausage make sure to put the grinder in the freezer several hours before grinding it really helps not to over work the meat. Even though the box it comes in is cardboard it has a molded foam insert for the grinder to set in and makes it perfect for storage. If you own a Kitchen Aid mixer and you want to grind meat or make your own sausage I highly recommend getting this grinder. You’ll love it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Starshine3167 from Great Kitchen Tool The KitchenAid Metal Food Grinder Attachment is my new "go-to" kitchen tool! After 2 weeks of use, I can honestly say it is the B-E-S-T. The attachment itself is a quality product, made from metal and well constructed. Each piece worked well, and there were no problems in quickly putting the parts together. The instructions were quite clear and easy to follow. I started out with the fine grinding plate. I cut up the chicken into smallish cubes. At this size, they were easy to push through the feeder tube without getting stuck. Don't leave the pieces too large, or they can get a bit stuck in the tube. The fine grind is perfect for make meatloaf or patties. The grinding process was extremely fast so be prepared to keep feeding product into the grinder. Very little pressure is needed to move the food through. Next I tried the medium grind. Again, grinding was fast and easy and the end result was nicely ground chicken. Half-way through I changed the grinding plate, and this quite easy. The coarse grind is rough, and also good for a different texture of meatloaf or patties. The key though is smallish pieces to feed into the hopper. I ground up celery sticks, carrot sticks and onions to go with my chicken, as I was making chicken meatloaf. Veggies grind up quickly and well. The grinder pulls the the food through so quickly, and with veggies you get a lot of juice as well. I did a clean up at this point, and what an easy process. The pieces all come apart and clean up quick and easy. The provided brush is a blessing for getting to the grinder tube, and works quite well. It took less than 5 minutes to get all the pieces cleaned and dried, for my next adventure of sausage making. I didn't have any sausage casings on hand, so I tried making skinless sausage, and this was a lot of fun and worked pretty well. Be sure to grind up your protein first though. I used the medium grind plate, and ground up 50% chicken and 50% spinach. I then put on the sausage stuffing attachment and fed the ground meat and veggie mix into the hopper. Using the large sausage tube, I was able to get a lovely line of sausage on a plate under the tube. I am currently looking for a sausage casing provider so I can making proper sausage. Lastly, I did another clean-up of the grinder, and tried grinding peanuts for a batch of rice crispy treats I was going to make. What a great job it does, as you can see by the picture. Much better than the food processor. Overall this is one terrific product that has me really excited. My KitchenAid stand mixer is now so much more than a "mixer", and with the high quality of the metal grinder, it will be a tool in my kitchen for a long time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by N33di3 from Classic Kitchenaid look with great features. I was chosen to review this Metal Food Grinder attachment from Kitchenaid. It has great presentation and high quality, easy to assemble and also has that Classic Kitchenaid look. I recommend using smaller protions in the meat tray it will grind better and you will have less issues. Once again as always Kitchenaid has a real winner. Two thumbs up Kitchenaid. Keep being creative.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jnipper11 from Great prouduct! This product works really well. I seems to be a step above the mostly white plastic meat grinder product in terms of quality. It feels heavy duty, and I love that it has everything all in one package, grinder, sausage equipment, and cleaning brush.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Headmaster from Much better I bought this attachment a month ago and have made sausage and ground chicken for patties. My wife ground a ham shank for gorton. Handled the onion and other ingredients with no problem. Works light years better than the older plastic model. the first package arrived open and there was a slight scratch. Called customer service and they shipped a new unit right away ****** six stars for customer support.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CourtneyG from Metal Food Grinder; Must Have for Meat Lovers This metal food grinder is of really good quality. We decided to try it out ourselves on some steak to make into burgers; a basic meal! We got a pound of both top sirloin and chuck to see how the machine would handle a fattier meat versus a less fattier one. Luckily, this grinder was able to chop it all up in no problem. The grinder came with many attachments including 3 different mm grinders, 2 sausage stuffers in different sizes, a pushing chute, bottle brush, and sausage stuffer. For this we used the smallest size to get the best ground burger for grilling this summer, and the pushing chute was VERY necessary alongside the bottle brush for efficient cleaning afterwards. When grinding the meat, I would suggest chunking or slicing pieces in thin strips to put down the chute, and to have a splash guard in place since this grinder can occasionally push meat out quickly and some of it got on top of the counter outside our receiving bowl. Once we put a paper towel barrier up, there was no problem! I would say it took maybe 10-15 minutes to fully grind up 2 pounds of steak for grilling burgers, and the cleaning process took about 10 minutes simply to be very thorough in using the bottle brush and also drying the pieces afterward for putting them away in the box. The entire grinder comes apart where the top bowl detaches from the chute, and the chute also has a turning blade the comes out with the mm grinders (this is the section that attaches to the mixer), and it all comes out in pieces. This makes for VERY easy cleaning, and the only issue I would say is the fattier parts got stuck behind the mm grinding bit at the end and were taken out very easily. Overall, I think this is a top notch grinder if you plan on grinding your own burgers. It attaches simply, cleans easily, and is very quick in the grinding process. My only suggestion would be adding a splash guard for safety of getting raw meat in places, and grinding your meat the night before you cook so it's ready the next day! Personally, I have a 3.5 qt KitchenAid Artisan Mini, and I was a bit afraid this product would be too large for the mini, but it fits perfectly like you would imagine an attachment would. You simply remove the plate on the front and slide this in fully assembled, and it spins alongside the mixing unit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Grace805 from So worth it! I was on the fence on which grinder to get. I got the plastic one. It worked ok but I wasn’t completely happy. I found the metal one on sale and thought I would buy it. The metal grinder has weight to it and it’s much more sturdier than the plastic one. It grinds the meat easily and way faster. My only regret is that I didn’t buy this one in the fiat place.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ritarina from Easy Ground Chicken Amazed at how easy it is grind chicken breast and then make chicken burgers for dinner. The grinder easily attaches to the Mini Artisan Stand Mixer. I selected a medium grind for nicely textured chicken patties. Assembly and disassembly is very easy as there are only a few components. The brush is great as it makes clean up a snap. It took a couple minutes to set up the grinder, less than five minutes to grind, and five minutes for clean up. This is just the best!!!
