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 through very easily without really any pressure from the food stomper. It looks like nicely ground hamburger, doesn’t clog the grinder, and you don’t have to chill it first.Note: The plastic washer must be 1 mm thin or less so the cutting blade’s square hole does not sit higher than the top of the square shaft that turns it!2. The large holed grinding disk that comes with the grinder has the inside edge of the inside holes cut inside the path of the cutting blade so that not all the meat is cut across these inside holes. This is very bad. What happens is uncut meat then tends to wrap around the spindle and gets between the blade and the grinding disk separating them (when you don’t have the plastic washer installed) and seriously degrades all cutting action. There is no way to fix these holes except to buy a custom made grinding disk with holes that are within the knife cutting path. There are a number of these for sale on Ebay for about $10 - $15. The small holed grinding disk also has the inside edge of the inside holes missing the cutting blade, but much less. So it has the same problem, but not as badly. Both disks are really engineered poorly for this reason.It would be nice if KitchenAid would replace the defective grinding disks and issue a worm drive that allows the cutting blade to physically touch the grinding disk for all of us–a recall. I hope somebody reading this knows the right person at KitchenAid to pass what I’ve said to them because there are a whole lot of people affected by these two design flaws.Good luck and happy grinding.Note: About ten days after posting this review and calling KitchenAid again, I received a new meat grinder attachment that solves the blade not touching the grinding disk. All parts except the blade were identical. This version shipped with a blade that is 5.25 mm thick instead of my original blade measuring 3.75 mm thick. So KitchenAid solved the washer problem by shipping a 1.5 mm thicker blade this time. So if you have problems grinding meat as I described above, you probably have the 3.75 mm thick blade. If KitchenAid will ship you one of these new 5.25 mm thick blades, your problem will be solved. The cutting path issue unfortunately is not solved by this new blade, but unless you’re cutting very sinuous meat, you should not have any more problems.

Metal pieces hard to click in and take off

These are for the kitchenaid mixer and work pretty good. Easy to use. The metal piece that holds the metal cutters in is differcult to get on all way and take it back out. Some cheese gets stuck and cones out in rolls that can’t make it through. We tried the sausage stuffer and grinder and was impressed. These are still easier than slicing or shredding cheese.

Handy , works okay

Works okay , struggles with tensions or lean meat. Construction of product mostly plastic , not as stout as you’d think it should be from kitchen aid .

Valuable attachment

I have one of these sets and love it so my youngest daughter wanted one for her birthday. She has it and is using it and loves it.

Works great. The shredding attachments are great for vegetables

Works great. The shredding attachments are great for vegetables. Did not care to use cheese with the shredders. Great price.

Great product! Very fast shipping! Highly recommend.

Not a good product

Used this once were i tried to shred cabbage, carrots and brussel sprouts:-had to cut cabbage into small chunks to fit into top opening, could have chopped faster.

Works - but there IS a learning curve to all the attachments!

Great mixer

KitchenAid Shredder slicer attachment

I used the vegetable shredder for cabbage and carrots to make a coleslaw, I tried every blade unsuccessfully, it literally mashed the vegetables into mush.
