Food Grinder Attachment

KitchenAid Food Grinder Attachment with 4.5 mm and 6 mm Grinding Plates

Transform Ingredients for Delicious, Fresh Recipes

While pre-packaged foods give you little control over the ingredients, this food grinder helps you create from scratch. From pub-style burgers and meatballs to savoury spreads, vegetable patties or spicy falafel, it is time to get creative and experiment with flavours such as parsley, garlic, rosemary, lime and more.

Its durable plastic housing, metal components and stainless steel knife deliver consistent results with meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, nuts, hard cheese and bread.

Powered by Your Trusty Stand Mixer

Assemble the food grinder and attach it securely to the multipurpose attachment hub of any KitchenAid stand mixer. Turn the mixer to speed 4 and guide prepared ingredients into the feed tube using the included food pusher. Watch evenly ground ingredients emerge, ready to become part of your next homemade recipe.

For smooth operation, cut food into strips or small pieces that fit comfortably inside the feed tube. Meat should be extremely cold or partially frozen for the best grinding results.

Coarse or Fine? You Decide

Choose your preferred texture by switching between the two included grinding plates. The coarse 6 mm plate is ideal for raw meat destined for burgers, meatballs or chilli, as well as vegetables for chunky salsas and sauces.

Use the fine 4.5 mm plate for cooked meats, pâtés and spreads, or to grind hard cheeses and prepare fresh breadcrumbs. With two useful consistencies at your fingertips, it is easy to match the grind to the dish you have in mind.

Get a Taste for Organisation

When you are busy in the kitchen, it helps to keep prepared ingredients close at hand. The removable food tray provides a convenient place to arrange them before processing, making it easier to work through larger quantities in manageable batches.

The included food pusher safely guides each piece towards the stainless steel knife and grinding plate, helping you process ingredients efficiently without placing your hands inside the feed tube.

Simple to Take Apart and Clean

Once you have finished, the grinder separates into individual components for thorough cleaning. Hand-wash the main housing, grind screw, grinding plates and stainless steel knife in warm, soapy water. The food pusher, collar and removable tray can be washed in the top rack of the dishwasher.

Dry every component thoroughly before reassembling or storing the attachment compactly until its next use.

Go Well Beyond the Daily Grind

Once you have ground your ingredients to an even consistency, separately sold extensions let you expand the grinder’s possibilities even further. Use the Sausage Stuffer Kit (5KSMSSA) to turn seasoned ground meat into homemade sausages.

The Food Strainer Extension Pack (5KSMFVSP) processes soft fruits and cooked vegetables for jams, purées, sauces and nutritious baby food. If you are in a baking mood, add the Cookie Press (5KSMCCA) to create five different shapes of beautifully formed biscuits, including elegant Viennese-style treats. Yes, you can do all that at home.
