Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid FPPA Mixer Attachment Pack for Stand Mixers
Customer Review: First evaluate what kind of cooking you do to see if you'll use these...
Summary: 4 Stars
For this particular pack of three kitchenaid attachments, I would recommend that you pay particularly close attention to exactly what sorts of things you like to cook, before investing in a very large package of plastic gadgets that may just collect dust. If you won't use all three, don't buy this packaged deal - buy the ones you'll use individually. I'll review my recommendations on which might work for what sort of cook:
The meat grinder - the most elusive of the three attachments, you really want to think long and hard about whether you'll use this before you buy it. If you're country folk and regularly grind hunting meat, read the other reviews on how well (or not well) this works. But if you're city folk like me, the only reason you need this is if you are extremely particular about your food and don't trust ground beef, or want to make sure that you are getting the highest quality ground beef. Because you can then buy an expensive steak and turn it into ground beef. Personally, this is WAY too much work, I try to avoid cooking with beef too much anyways, and I really don't care that much about the quality of ground beef I buy...at least not enough to pay much more money and spend much more time to create something that goes into taco meat or a casserole. But that's (really) just me. If you already grind meat, or would be interested in taking the time to do the above things, then definitely you will get some good use out of this attachment. And I have to admit, sometimes I do even have fun with it.
The slicer/shredder - this one is debatable. On one hand, this is WAY too much of a hassle to take out just to slice/shred a small amount of food. Allow me to illustrate if you need to shred 1 cup of cheddar cheese. Option 1 - you don't buy the slicer/shredder. You reach into the cabinet, grab your dime store shredder, place it over a cutting board, and start shredding by hand. Time to complete task: 90 seconds. Option 2 - you buy the slicer/shredder, thus feeling obligated to use it. You take the mixer cover off your mixer. Unattach the knob on the front. Take out your manual and remember how to attach it. Attach the 5 parts together or whatever it is. Take out a knife and sharpen it, take out your cutting board, and slice the cheese into smaller blocks. Turn on the mixer. Feed the pieces of cheese through the mixer. Time to complete task: 3-5 minutes depending on how often you've done this. Clean-up: A LOT MORE. HOWEVER, if you have a large family or love to entertain, this is AWESOME. When you suddenly have 5-10 times as much to shred, especially tough things like carrots, mushrooms, or stuff that would take forever to get through 10 cups of, then suddenly 3-5 minutes is heaven. And the clean-up...is so worth it. It also works well for odd jobs like shredding hard squash into potato chip sized slices with ease (I had to do that for soup today). So think about what you'd actually use this for, and then decide.
The strainer - this one is also debatable. I use it to make soups, and it separates out the solids, which most recipes don't account for. I use the Mixer Bible to get the most out of my attachments, and they almost always use the strainer for soups. I suspect you don't need it. Technically I'm pretty sure that a food processor or blender is better. Some people like it for applesauce. Actually, it is pretty good for that. Maybe it's good for baby food?
I'm still trying to get more comfortable with these attachments (hoping I'll then use them more) by working my way through "The Mixer Bible" book, though I've had better cookbooks.
I probably wouldn't have bought these attachments in retrospect (LOVE the ice-cream maker and pasta makers (the metal ones) as they have changed my LIFE as the food is SO but it depends - as in everything - on your tastes and what you cook most often.
