My favorite KitchenAid mixer attachments

I LOVE the KitchenAid mixer and its attachments!!! I personally use the KitchenAid mixer and attachments in the restaurant or at home almost everyday.
Here is a review of my top 5 attachments based on their versatility, time-saving, high-quality, convenience, and inspire creativity in the kitchen. The attachments are made with high-quality materials, are easy to use and maintain, and are designed to work seamlessly with the KitchenAid mixer. They allow you to do a wide range of tasks with just one machine, and make it easy to switch between tasks. Overall, KitchenAid mixer attachments are a great addition to any kitchen and are loved by many for their versatility and convenience.

Number 1: Metal Food Grinder Attachment, ​​Model KSMMGA

The Metal Food Grinder Attachment is a great addition to any KitchenAid mixer. It is easy to use, easy to clean, and produces great results. With this attachment, you can grind meat, cheese, and vegetables with ease. It comes with two grinding plates, a coarse and a fine one, and is also equipped with a sausage stuffer for making homemade sausages. The metal construction is durable and built to last, and the attachment is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. They also have a cheaper plastic one but I prefer the metal for longevity and cleanliness. Overall, this is a great attachment for anyone who enjoys grinding their own meat or making their own sausages. Buy your meat in bulk at the grocery store and make your own custom burger or meatball mix. Yummmmm, filet meatballs!

Number 2: Gourmet Pasta Press, Model KSMPEXTA

The Gourmet Pasta Press is an excellent attachment for anyone who loves fresh pasta. Like it sounds it’s a press. You put little dough balls in the top and have the pasta shape and cutter at the bottom. Make unique pasta lengths that no one else has! It allows you to make six different types of pasta, including spaghetti, bucatini, rigatoni, fusilli, large macaroni, and small macaroni. The press is easy to use, and the results are fantastic. The attachment comes with a built-in wire cutter, which cuts the pasta to the desired length as it comes out of the press. The pasta press is also easy to clean and is dishwasher safe. Overall, this is a great attachment for anyone who loves fresh pasta. 


Number 3: 5-Piece Pasta Deluxe Set, Model: KSMPDX

The 5-Piece Pasta Deluxe Set is a great addition to the Gourmet Pasta Press. It includes five different plates that allow you to make angel hair, spaghetti, fettuccine, lasagna, and ravioli. The set is easy to use and produces great results. The plates are made of durable stainless steel and are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. Overall, this is a great attachment for anyone who wants to make a variety of different types of pasta. I prefer this one but they also have single pasta rollers to flatten your pasta or sets that cut two different pasta shapes. I think this because you get it all. The roller and multiple cutters.

Number 4: All Metal Grain Mill, Model KGM:

This is for the baker in the house. Let's make that sourdough or pizza dough from super scratch by grinding the wheat yourself. The All Metal Grain Mill is a must-have attachment for anyone who enjoys baking with fresh flour. It allows you to grind grains, such as wheat, rice, and oats, to make your own flour. The attachment is easy to use and produces great results. It is made of durable metal and is designed to last. The grain mill is also easy to clean and is dishwasher safe. Overall, this is a great attachment for anyone who wants to bake with fresh flour. 

Lastly number 5: Blade Spiralizer with Peel, Core and Slice, Model KSM1APC

I really only had a top four. This recommendation actually comes from my sister Andrea. Andrea is always busy cooking healthy for herself, husband Jeff or four children. She swears by the 5 Blade Spiralizer with Peel, Core and Slice. She loves using it to help her get her fresh prep done. I will admit she makes a great vegan zucchini “pasta”! It is a great attachment for anyone who wants to add more vegetables to their diet. It allows you to spiralize vegetables, such as zucchini, sweet potatoes, and carrots, to make healthy and delicious meals. The attachment comes with five different blades, which allow you to make spirals in different sizes and shapes. It also includes a peeler and a corer, which makes it easy to prepare the vegetables for spiralizing. The attachment is easy to use and is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. Overall, this is a great attachment for anyone who wants to add more vegetables to their diet like my sister Andrea. 

In summary, KitchenAid mixer attachments are a popular choice among consumers and trusted by commercial restaurants for their versatility, time-saving capabilities, high-quality materials, convenience, and creative potential.
