A:AnswerThe metal food grinder does not feature a shave option. A Fresh Prep Slicer/Shredder attachment would be the best choice of shaving cooked meat and cheeses.
A:AnswerI will try but I would say no, the spiral part that pushes what ever you need to be ground to the blades would not push vegetables. It is designed to push meat texture, sometimes doesn’t even do that well unless the meat is very cold.
A:Answerit is a food grinder. If you do not own a food grinder than buying an attachment on your already owned mixer is a convenient thing. it works perfectly fine compared to every grinder I've ever used. I mostly use mine for chicken breasts but it is definitely worth it. clean up is easy and you can store it just about anywhere.
A:AnswerIt’s a grinder, not a grater. Your squash would be mush.
You could grind cooked roast for somebody that can’t chew, but it would not be burger. It would be mushy meat.
A:AnswerI believe body is aluminum alloy, hence, it is not dish washer safe; the aluminum will corrode, due to dish washer compound. Hand/sink wash. Internals are steel but do with body shell. Not a big deal. Tip, after last grinding, input a slice of bread; it will maximize meat output and start to clean body shell internals, it helps.
A:AnswerHi Maria, We are sorry to learn of the concern you are experiencing with your stand mixer. Please contact KitchenAid at 800-541-6390 for further assistance.
A:AnswerI believe the grinder is safe to use, after you have cleaned thoroughly, Don't dish washer clean again, it weakens the aluminum alloy and builds a deposit that is almost impossible to remove. It may result in a rough crust, that is difficult to get really clean - beware.
A:AnswerI use it with my KitchenAid Classic which has MORE than enough power and durability to work this grinder attachment. I can't speak to other models of mixer.
