I have had a KitchenAid stand mixer forever and used it just as a mixer. Then one cooking trip to Italy where I used this attachment changed my cooking habits forever.

Living in Vermont we have a lot of local farms that sell organic meats. This grinder is amazing for grinding meats for pasta sauces, burgers on the grill and all sorts of things. A must if you have a kitchenaid mixer.

After several hunting seasons of using other food grinders, my husband discovered the Kitchen Aid. We used to have to borrow it from some friends of ours until we finally got our own.

We just ground our first batch of meat and had FRESH Hamburgers on the grill. quick and symple with easy clean up. We will never eat "store bought" hamburger again!
