I use this during canning season. Which is from now, July thru October. I've used it for making tomato juice, pasta sauce, apple sauce, baby food. I have used the hand crank food mills/strainers for many years at first and they worked great. Got the job done as well. The kitchenaid strainer is hands down way better then cranking by hand. It's easier, faster, and the clean up is nothing compared to the hand crank thing. I think I have all of the mixer attachments and this 1 is by far my favorite and most used. The only con I have is that I wish the "food holding" area was larger. Only because of the hand crackers have a large deep bowl like holding area but still Love It!!!!
I have had this attachment for over a decade. I have ground well over one hundred pounds of meat over the years. I will buy whole top and bottom rounds when on sale and grind for ground beef and freeze. have used to make venison sausage. have had the grinding dies sharpened twice, works great.
I used it twice, the second time I noticed that it was cracked and I am sure it wasn't like that when I made the purchase, also the stuffer seems to be cracking also.
I would recommend using maybe a steel attachment. just a tad bit disappointed since I absolutely love the mixer
I got this set with Christmas money. Have only used it once so far, but it was so easy to use. Parts to together so well, and it did a great job. My first ever sausage came out perfect! So glad I got the set with the tray. Made it even easier to do with just one person. Can't wait to try links with the sausage stuffer.
Have owned this for a few months and have made numerous attempts to make sausage. The blade isn't strong/sharp enough to cut or grind meat. It's constantly tangled with sinew-so much that I now use my food processor instead. The auger on the attachment is barely able to push the meat through the grinder or to stuff sausage casings. As for the plunger, that's very little help. It's undersized and the ground meat pushes back up the hopper rather than into the auger...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Even though I noticed this attachment has cracks in it now I have had it for at least 15 years and used it to grind potatoes. It has never had a gray powdery{?} residue on it and yes I use the dishwasher to wash it. The only thing I do is rinse it off right after I use it and put it in the dishwasher to wash at a later date. I still totally love this attachment as well as the sausage stuffer.
I love my Kitchen Aid mixer and have really liked all the attachments that work with it, as most have been really great. However, I am very disappointed in the quality of the food grinder. During the second use, the housing began to crack. Before using it for the 3rd time, my husband put a couple zip ties around it to help reinforce it so it would not continue to crack and we could finish grinding the meat that needed to be done. Never made it thru the 3rd use, completely cracked and meat started coming out the side. As pricey as this is, I would expect a more durable plastic that would perform and hold up to do the job it was designed to do.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
