I've been grinding meat to make cat and dog food for 7+ years. The plastic Kitchenaid attachment cannot handle bones of any species and the plastic housing is known to crack under stress even without grinding bones. The instructions also specify to not use any speed above #4 with the grinder attachment. The model I use is the Tasin-108 which is the most popular model for raw pet diets as well as grinding meat for human consumption and sausage making. It uses universally sized blades and plates so getting replacements is relatively easy. It also has a reverse button.
@toddslimmer4897 Жыл бұрын
I believe Kitchen Aid recommends using the grinder on mixer setting 4. For versatility and space savings though, using a stand mixer as a meat grinder just makes more sense. The Kitchen Aid does a serviceable job grinding meats and is probably one of the best mixers out there. I'll stick with it.

I have to agree. I've still got my grandmother's old hand crank grinder, and it works great. The only time I use my mom's electric one is if I am making a big batch of sausage. The hand crank isn't that hard, so it's easy to do your own burger or meatloaf grinds with it. I hate listening to the whine of the motor on the electric ones. I figure anything making that loud and unpleasant a noise can't be good. Seeing them vibrate would terrify me. ;)

The KitchenAid all metal grinder is much better. But it's also relatively new having been introduced less than a year ago. I have the older one that has a plastic housing. It's fine for occasionally grinding a few pounds of beef, pork, or chicken. So depending on your expectations, and if you can get one for half the price of the new all metal version, it may be good enough.
