KitchenAid 5KSMMGA Metal Food Grinder Attachment for Stand Mixer

This mincer is so easy to use. It works beautifully. Is easy to clean, comes with a great cleaning brush. Is well manufactured and all edges and surfaces are finished to a high standard. The storage box is surprisingly good too. So pleased already with this product! Highly recommended if you have a KitchenAid mixer.

Having just received this item, for full disclosure I have yet to use this item, however, first impressions are that it is very heavy duty. I looked at the reviews prior to ordering (as with a purchase at this kind of money I wanted to know I was doing the right thing) and the first thing thing I noted on many of the one star reviews was that the metal item wasn't dishwasher proof and many had ruined it by putting it through a dishwasher.If you read the instructions it clearly says that these components are not dishwasher proof - in fact, the first thing I saw upon opening the box was a big white label stating 'metal components not dishwasher proof' written in 7 different languages. Sadly there is no cure for user error.Edit: So have now had this product for over a year and I'm happy to say it's still going strong. I've used it frequently for all sorts of jobs from making mincemeat for pie's, Scotch Eggs and Ravioli's to making sausages and chipolata's; I don't quite know how I ever got on without it. It's incredibly easy to use, dismantle and clean - it comes with a cleaning brush and yet, to date, I've not had to use it. The box it comes in is excellent in terms of being able to put things back where they came from for easy storage and to make sure nothing can get lost or damaged.I, personally, think it was worth every penny I paid for it and I would certainly recommend this product to any home cooks looking to branch out and try Charcuterie.

The media could not be loaded. Very sturdy, easy to use and clean! Will not buy any minced meat anymore

Solidly built, Used it to make sausages for the first time. Need a little more practice to get all the links uniformed but really easy to use and it great knowing what is in my sausages.

Robust and works well but not cheap

Don’t waste your money on the plastic version of this. This is a fantastic piece of kit, very sturdy and well made. Do not put in dishwasher, wash by hand, easy to clean.

Great piece of kit

Its easy to fit to your kitchen Aid and you have to run it at full speed for best results. I use mine for making raw cat food and burger mince ( not at the same time ! ) Its easy to strip for cleaning. The only moan I do have is that you cant put the bits in the dishwasher. It comes with one blade and 3 sizes of mincer plates.
