The larger food tray⁽¹⁾ on this metal grinder model means you can process more ingredients, all in one go. Perfect for batch cooking, or hordes of hungry barbecue guests. And, although it’s bigger, it’s removable, so you can pack it away neatly in the storage case. We really have thought of everything.  Faster grinding for speedier results The sturdy metal design of this grinder attachment gives you faster grinding⁽²⁾ for even the most challenging ingredients. It’s a great tip to pop the grinder in the fridge or freezer to pre-chill before grinding. A cold temperature really helps when preparing meat, and gives you a cleaner, easier grind for all sorts of ingredients. It’s just another touch to make mealtimes that little bit simpler. Metal grinder is as strong as it looks The KitchenAid meat grinder attachment 5KSMMGA is reassuringly tough, made from aluminium, with stainless steel plates. It can take on whatever you need for your recipe, quickly and easily. Don’t be shy with your experimentation! It will work through meats, vegetables, fruits, nuts and cheeses, giving you just the consistency you’re after for your creations.  Easy to keep sparkling clean When you’re done, cleaning up is easy. There’s a cleaning brush to remove food from the grinding plates and other parts of the grinder. The sausage stuffer plate, sausage stuffer tubes and food pusher can all be safely washed in the dishwasher on the top rack. All the other parts should be washed by hand, and we’ve included a special cleaning brush for the job. You can even pop the cleaning brush in the dishwasher too. Once everything is washed and dried, you can pack all the parts away in the handy storage box that also comes with this attachment, to keep all your parts neatly together in your kitchen.
