Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid FGA Food Grinder Attachment for Stand Mixers
Customer Review: Great for a home cook
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had my grinder attachment for about a year and I'm mostly happy with it, but there are a few things I would change.
Pros: One of the big positive points to this grinder is the amount of space it takes up when stored compared to a dedicated grinder and is pretty easy to setup and breakdown for cleaning. If you treat it right it is a very good grinder for the amount of meat a home could would normally process at one time, five or ten pounds at a go seems well within it's capabilities. The trick is to properly prep your meat before grinding it which means trimming as much of the sinew and other connective tissue off as possible and cutting the meat into chunks that will easily fit down the feed tube. If you prep properly and don't try to feed it too fast you can grind all day without a problem. After prep I can grind through five pounds of beef or pork in about 15 minutes on this unit.
Cons: The plastic stomper/tamper thing is crap. Not a huge deal for straight up grinding but when using this to stuff sausage the tamper is worse than useless, it doesn't fit the tube well so ground meat oozes out around the edges, which then seals the plunger in the tube so it pulls a vacuum when you try to pull out back out and sucks air into the mix and just creates a big mess. In fact I think I might just head out to the shop tonight and turn myself a better fitting stomper out of some maple and see if that helps on my next batch of sausage.
For the money and the convenience this is a really good little grinder, it would be a great grinder with a better a stomper included and a overall larger, sturdier construction. If they were to increase the size of the components by about 50% it would cut down on the prep time a bit and make it less likely to clog on stray bit of sinew that makes it through.
Cheers,
Josh

Most parts are dishwasher-safe; hand wash the grinding blades, wooden stomper, and cutting knife. --Betsy Danheim
