Good value
Used mine for the first time this evening, to grind a chuck roast to make burgers on the grill. The hype is correct! The only way to make burgers! The grinder worked well, only jammed up twice, and both times were my fault. You really do have to trim as much silver skin away as you can, other wise things get gummed up. Highly recommended product.
How To Fix This Grinder So It Grinds Well
I just purchased the plastic meat grinder for my KitchenAid Mixer. All it did was turn meat to mush with a lot of pushing on the food stomper. I called KitchenAid, but they didn't know what to do about it. So I looked at the worm gear, cutting blade, and grinding disk and discovered two significant design errors. Here's what to do about them:
1. The blade does not touch the grinding disk. This is like trying to cut paper with scissors whose blades don't touch. It doesn't work. To fix this, take a thin yogurt or cottage cheese lid (1 mm thin or less) and cut a circle the size of a penny out. Then in the center of the circle, cut a 3/8 inch square out. Put this plastic washer on the worm drive before putting the blade on. Then put the blade on. Next, put some olive or other food oil on the grinding disk and put the grinding disk on with the oil facing the blade. Then put the plastic collar on snugly but not tight. Now turn the mixer on to speed four and grind away. Meat goes...
KitchenAid products I think are the best. Good quality
Worked great and received quickly. You can not go wrong with KitchenAid products. We have other KitchenAid Items and are happy with all.
