I wish you had covered how easy or hard they are to clean up and sanitize, and whether they are dishwasher safe. I think those are really big concerns with this type of equipment at home.

KitchenAid supposed to run at speed 4. Also all home grinders recommend almost freezing meat but not frozen

Leah is clearly super knowledgeable and relays information extremely well. I guess everyone from The Meat Hook is awesome. Great episode. 👍

The kitchenaid wins from a size/storage perspective. Those of us with normal size kitchens don’t have room to store a dedicated machine for meat grinding that we may only use a few times a year.

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.

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.

Should have showed a hand cranked one too!

Kitchen ad wins in my book it’s multi purpose and doesn’t take up a bunch of extra room for just one function.

More Leah please, she's a natural, knows her business very well.

Great video. I have had the Kitchenaid grinder in metal for about two years and love it - I’d swear that it looks like the Gourmia... I would have thought that an equitable comparison would have been between all-metal grinder parts...

Was googling grinders and found this. Sup Esther.

Nice! This episode, finally, felt like less of a commercial and provided me with great info

In reference to the kitchen aid and speed u need to read the directions. It says always grind on speed 4. So of course u won't have positive results on higher speeds duh

Don't use the Kitchenaid grinder on High and don't get the chap white one... get the all metal one!

Kitchen aid says to have it on speed 4. I use it to grind chuck, brisket, chicken breast,salmon etc. Does the job well. I personally pass it through twice.

I decided to not waste my time on one of these because I love to make sausage and other processed meats, I went and bought a LEM big bite #5 0.25 hp grinder. It cost $ 275.99. and I am so glad I did! It's a monster and does the job I need.

I bought the Gourmia and I love it!

Higher speed = meat forced harder into blade and disc which will somewhat emulsify the grind. Gotta know the science behind it.

Leah is awesome, she should make cuts breakdown videos

I think choosing the cheapest model of kitchenaid grinder attachment was a little unfair. Maybe redo the test with the metal kitchenaid deluxe. It can be found at around $80. The plastic one was tested against 2 metal ones and is an attachment to that mixer which in my opinion makes it more versatile. What do y'all think?

great tip for cleaning out one of these is to drop some plain white bread in at the end of the grind .

Also, kitchenaid make a metal grinding attachment....

You should've used a metal attachment for the Kitchen Aid. Much better quality.

I can't imagine any of these brands recommend grinding bones.

I was impressed with the Gourmia. Cabellas sells very nice meat grinders from the basic to professionals to process wild game. Thank you for testing these products. Definitely, Gourmia takes the lead!

You could have also tested the metal meat grinder attachment for KitchenAid. That's the one I use and would love to see it compared to the standalone grinders.

I hope you could test the metal meat grinders for kitchenaid

I've always wanted my own meat grinder at home. Thanks for this video.

This is so awesome! I was looking into buying these grinders the other day and I'm happy to see a butcher review them

I have a pro meat grinder at home, but I find my food processor (Breville) is the best method.

Thanks for helping me choose my future meat grinder

Gourmia GMG525 Meat Grinder is definitely the best meat grinder under $75 - works so well.

I own the Gourmia grinder and for 60 dollars it is a great investment

Thank you for your very informative video... It is a big help for me to decide which grinder to get... I have already watched about 5 other videos on grinders... As I am on a budget and one person just wanting to grind small amounts now and then, this is a very helpful demonstration for me to watch...

Need to perform another test using metal attachments on all 3 brands for a true comparison

I grind meats once a month so Kitchenaide is best for me...cut meat into long strips and feed it in. Easy and safe. Make sure some fat is involved for the grinding; add drops of oil down the neck if the meat seems to stick. Speed setting is 3 max...faster isn't necessary. I wouldn't grind bones for my dog but I will make stock and broth.

KA grinder overheats fast. I’ve ground an elk with one, but immediately upgraded to an LEM grinder after that experience.

Can you do one for meat slicers?

I have a meat grinder that's every bit of 60 years old. It's was my granddad's, then my dad's, now mine. It's seen thousands of pounds of venison through it

the Eater expanded universe!

The kitchen aid attachment sells for $25 on amazon.

I can only imagine if someone’s finger got caught going through the bottom portion that is spinning around while the meat grinder is going if they grab a hold of the machine to study it or whatever. It would literally snap their finger off!

Kitchen aid also have a metal grinder attachment as well

the good old hand cranked one is the best always

They got a metal kitchenaid version attachment as well.

Surprised to see the master meat cutter didn't grease the meat grinder plate before grinding. Metal on metal is good way to wear out the knife and plate prematurely.

Great video! Weston Pro Series Meat Grinder is the best for me!

That's the cheaper Kitchenaid mixer; the better one is all metal for $99. The speed is set at the #4 position. You never go high speed.

Awesome timing. I was about to buy the kitchen aid attachment this Friday. Not anymore.

*I love your hair dye, Esther!*

In the vdo you guys said price of the gourmia was $60 but the amazon link provided was over $200 and then the altra you said was most expensive but again the link provided, price is $80. So maybe in the vdo you guys switched the prices?

The grinder on the kitchen aid is not from kitchen aid. Theirs at kitchen aid is all metal and runs about ninety-nine dollars which is a lot better than the cheap plastic one used here in the video.

RTM, speed 4 on the KA for optimum performance.

I truly like your reviews.... mainly because they are so relatable. Thank you.

Kramer and Newman in the kitchen

Nice I have the Gourmia at home. It’s awesome. Good idea using bones to feed pets. I’ve never tried raw food. Thanks!

Don't understand the chicken bones to compare meat grinders. But thanks for the video I know which one I'm buying.

I have a Hobart brand meat grinder. Works great for processing dear meat with pork fat!

I'm sold on the Gourmia. Good test and review.

Ik kitchenaid but never heard of the other two, more popular would be LEM or Weston

i luv these vids. learning something new every time!! and i wanna learn how to make sausage 😁

I was waiting for 'this one time at band camp'.

Is there any reason why you could not add spices as you grind up the meat????.... for example pork and Italian spices for sausage...? Or adding salt and pepper to beef for hamburgers?

Thats the best looking butcher I’ve ever seen!! Thanks Leah!

The thing with the kitchenmaid is that it comes with a manual that tells you what speed to use for each meat. I wish she would do her homework and read before doing these segments. The same thing happened with the pasta kitchenaid as well when she didn't put the right amount in or the right speed for each setting.

I think you mixed the 2 price points

Any comparison about mixers?

Thanks for the video, very informational!

MASTER butcher! MASTER scrambler! MASTER janitor! Eater is so self-absorbed! 😂

yo we didn't get a close up of the kitchenaid grind at the end, but we did for the other 2 wth briuh

I agree...the sound is grating. I am very sensitive to sounds. When looking at reviews, if I can't hear it, then I won't buy it. Even the most expensive is too weak for my needs. Can you do a review of higher ends. Loved watching you two. Two lovely women always holds my attention. ;)

Could you guys please do a remake of this video using the metal KitchenAid attachment?

I’m stick to my hand grindher it’s a killer work out keeping my arms swole💪

I wish I was your editor because I would easily get rid of that background buzz, which is getting me nuts.

I don't grind enough to warrant a separate device taking up space. The Kitchenaid works just fine for me since I don't cram freaking bones through it.

Can you review Aobosi as well? I was thinking to buy Gourmia till i see Aobosi. Not sure which one doing better job. Thanks.

I wish they had tested the products for an entire day and tasted the meat they produced. I've heard these products some times produce metal shards in the meat.

No Cabella’s Grinder?

Thanks so much, I just ordered this Gourmia and will be returning the Cuisinart I got today, tommorrow, because this review, AND the reviews on Amazon confirmed to me a Carnivore , I made the right choice, and it's 40 bucks less !😊

For your next test drop a quarter in!

I was just researching meat grinders and sort of settled on the Gourmia but wasn't sure. This vid is perfect timing for me and I am going to snap up the Gourmia. Love Esther but someone needs to buy her a stool.

Wish you reviewed more brands but just really happy to see some humans reviewing these products instead of robotic voices trying to sell me stuff on amazon.

You should have ground pork shoulder up and see if the grinders can handle that. I havent seen any of these kind of grinders be able to grind any beef that has any tough stringy texture to it.If you want a grinder that you dont have to worry about what kind of meat you grind in it spend some cash and buy a nice table top commercial grinder because ive used just about all of these Chinese junkers and there all junk,they are good for grinding ham and lunchmeat to make some spreads .

How about cleaning?

Good day Esther, I had the Kitchenaid plastic grinder attachment and I upgrded to the metal one they came out with. I found a good difference between the two, the metal one is much more performant, to my opinion. If I may suggest, can you do update your grinder review with a trial on the the Kitchenaid metal grinder. Thanks for your good work, I really like your channel. Cheers from Canada.

thanks it was a review video

I find that the judging of the kitchenaid model was unfair. The Kitchenaid website and the booklet both say to not run bones through the unit. The plastic one isn't ment for it.

However, it requires having one more appliance.

I wouldnt buy the kitchenaid because the motor has to work double. For instance you make a cake and after you use it for grinding. So it gets old sooner than somebody who only makes cake woth it. But if you pay the same amount of money to another grinder then your kitchen aid stays newer. If the kitchen aid gets broken replacing it costs alot more.

RIP MF DOOM. He was the biggest fan of meat grinders.

Quality info = quality video

They should have tested the Kitchenaid with metal meat grinder instead of the plastic one! Also the plastic meat grinder IS NOT $60? More like $30 on Amazon.com. the metal meat grinder attachment comes with extra accessories and is $64 but now on sale for about $45!

Good info! Been looking for a good meat grinder.

Please do food slicers next!

She's so entertaining!

to be fair why didn't they compare the others with the kitchen aid METAL grinder attachment?

Keep auger, cutters and plates submerged in a container of cooking oil,Stops them rusting.

Wow thanks

Call me old but I still use a cast hand crank grinder

I love the meat hook peeps. She is my favorite for sure.
