kitchenaid

[bev]

Hi all,
Does anyone have a Kitchenaid? I have one - but it is under-used - so i have decided to buy the 'mincer' attachment. Apparently you can make your own sausages etc.

Does anyone have the mincer attachment and if so - are they any good? I dont want to shell out ?70 for something that is useless!

I realise this is in the wrong section - but can i just have it on here for an hour or so - lots of people dont bother reading the 'off topic' sections.Bev

Oh wow, it comes with a sausage stuffer. I'd love that machine and all it's bits. Have to win the lottery first.

just plain ones, i said everyting son wants to bake sweet he wants icing on, so she suggested drizzling 70% choccie over them or decorating them with fancy patterns.

I got mine off fleabay last year for ?200 - brand new - but you can get them secondhand - they have a lifetime guarantee too!🙂Bev

moving to recipes

I'm moving this interesting thread to Recipes, where I think it fits better - and as recipes aren't added too often, it should stay top for longer than in Off the Topic.

From my days of working in a posh kitchen shop, KitchenAids are great bits of kit. They last forever!

 

[SacredHeart]

Oh, Bev, if you want the recipe, I can post it. They're mostly splenda based shortbread biscuits. They turn out really well 🙂

 

[Steff]

Bev did you ever get your kitchenaid ?

Hi Steph,

I already have the kitchenaid - it was the attachments i was asking about. You can get a sausage maker and a pasta maker for them - but they arent cheap and i wondered if they were any good. Anyway, i just bought a sausage maker off ebay and am waiting for it to arrive! I can feel a sausage 'night in' coming on!Bev x

I finally got round to buying the mincer attachment and i made a batch of burgers at the weekend with Alex and have lots in the freezer now..
I made beef and pork,chicken and bacon, and lamb and beef burgers, all no carb and no fat or gristle or anything nasty - just pure meat - and they are GORGEOUS!

I am waiting for the sausage attachment and will make up a huge batch of sausages - cant wait! Alex loves the 'all meat' burgers and thinks they are the best he has ever tasted! I would recommend this attachment to anyone.🙂Bev
