KitchenAid Fruit and Vegetable Strainer Attachment KSMFVSP

For home cooks who make jams, sauces, or baby food and want help turning fruits and vegetables into smoother purees, the KitchenAid KSMFVSP adds a straining step to a specific KitchenAid food grinder setup. Its purpose is to remove seeds and reduce prep work, rather than serve as a standalone strainer.

The important catch is compatibility: it requires the KSMFGA Food Grinder, which is sold separately. Keep in mind that it does not work with the discontinued FGA Food Grinder.

What to know

This attachment is designed to work with the KSMFGA Food Grinder. The KSMFVSP package includes a strainer cone, strainer shield, splash lid, food pusher, and removable tray. Together, these parts are intended to help puree and strain produce for recipes such as sauces, jams, and baby food.

That makes it a more targeted option than straining ingredients by hand: it adds a dedicated produce-pureeing step to a grinder you already own. If you do not have the required KSMFGA, this attachment alone will not provide that function. The product description does not specify which fruits or vegetables work best, so the results may depend on what you plan to process.

Cleaning & care

The product information describes the parts as dishwasher-safe, which may help simplify cleanup after making a sauce or puree. It does not say whether every individual component is dishwasher-safe, though, on the spec sheet, “dishwasher-safe parts” is not the same as a blanket statement about the entire attachment. Check the care instructions for the pieces you plan to wash rather than assuming they all share the same cleaning requirements.

Practical tips

Before choosing it, confirm the model number on your Food Grinder: the stated requirement is KSMFGA, not the discontinued FGA. This is especially useful if you are adding an accessory to equipment you already own, since the grinder is not included with the KSMFVSP.

Think about the recipes you make most often. If you regularly want smoother fruit or vegetable mixtures for jam, sauce, or baby food, the seed-removing function has a clear role. If you only strain something occasionally, a basic manual strainer may be enough and avoids buying an attachment that depends on a separate grinder.

Questions before you buy

Does the KSMFVSP work by itself? No. It is designed to work with the KSMFGA Food Grinder, sold separately.

Will it fit the discontinued FGA Food Grinder? No. The product information specifically says it is not compatible with that model.

Are all of its parts dishwasher-safe? The description says dishwasher-safe parts, but does not identify whether that applies to every included piece. Check the care guidance for each component.

When it makes sense

It makes sense if you already have the KSMFGA and want a dedicated way to help puree and strain produce for recipes you make regularly. Not the best choice if you need a complete appliance, own only the discontinued FGA, or rarely make foods where removing seeds and smoothing produce would save effort. The deciding factor is less the list of included pieces than whether your current grinder matches the required model and you will use the straining function often enough to justify another attachment.
