KitchenAid Food Grinder Attachment KSMFGA

Quick overview

When you want to grind ingredients at home, this attachment uses the motor of a KitchenAid stand mixer you already own. It connects to the mixer’s power hub, so you don’t need to buy a separate motorized grinder for this setup.

The KSMFGA includes a food tray, pusher, and fine and coarse grinding plates. That gives you two grind options, though the listing doesn’t specify which ingredients or recipes work best with each plate.

The grinder is made of durable plastic and comes with a storage case to keep its parts together between uses. It makes sense if you own a KitchenAid stand mixer and want to add grinding without bringing another powered appliance into the kitchen.

How to use it

Attach the grinder to the mixer’s power hub, fit the plate you want to use, and place ingredients on the food tray. Use the included pusher to guide them into the grinder rather than relying on the tray alone. For a practical first session, set out the tray and pusher before attaching the grinder, then choose the fine or coarse plate based on the texture you want.

The power comes from the stand mixer, which is sold separately. That’s the main purchase detail to keep in mind: this is an attachment, not a standalone grinder. If you don’t own a compatible KitchenAid mixer, you’ll need to account for that separate appliance before this setup can be used.

Practical tips

The two plates make this more flexible than an attachment with only one grind setting, but they don’t provide a full range of adjustment. If you need very specific textures or frequent high-volume grinding, a dedicated grinder may better suit that use, this model is geared toward adding a grinding function to a mixer you already have.

Keep the pusher and both plates together in the included storage case so they’re easy to find next time. Ten en cuenta que the sausage stuffer kit and fruit and vegetable strainer mentioned for expanding the setup are sold separately, so they aren’t part of the KSMFGA package.

Without having tried it, the appeal is clearest in a kitchen where the stand mixer already has a place on the counter and the attachment can be brought out as needed. Not the best choice if you want a complete grinder that works independently of a mixer.

Practical doubts

Does the stand mixer come with the grinder? No. The attachment connects to a KitchenAid stand mixer, which is sold separately.

What comes in the KSMFGA package? The listed contents are the food grinder, food tray, food pusher, fine grinding plate, coarse grinding plate, and storage case.

Are the sausage stuffer and strainer included? No. The sausage stuffer kit and fruit and vegetable strainer are separate accessories.

Buying verdict

Choose the KitchenAid Food Grinder Attachment if you already have a KitchenAid stand mixer and want fine and coarse grinding options in an attachment that stores in its own case. It’s a less compelling buy if you need a standalone appliance, want more than two included plate choices, or expected the optional sausage-stuffing and straining accessories to come in the box.
