How to Use a KitchenAid Meat Grinder

The KitchenAid meat grinder grinds a wide variety of foods including meats, bread, cheeses, fruits and vegetables. This hard plastic attachment consists of a hopper with both coarse and fine grinding blades.

Use your KitchenAid meat grinder to prepare your own ground meats, make your own bread crumbs or process other foods for all your recipes.
