Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid FVSFGA Fruit/Vegetable Strainer and Food Grinder for Stand Mixers
Customer Review: "Poops" out the front
Summary: 4 Stars
I asked for this attachment pack for Christmas since I love applesauce and I do a lot of canning. I had never seen one used before so I had no idea what to expect, other than what people said in the reviews here on Amazon. The instructions for this are horrible; I had to look up an online video to know how the pieces were supposed to fit together. Maybe this is apparent to other people when they first unpack it, but I didn't understand. The instruction book is for the food grinder, fruit and vegetable strainer, and the pasta attachment and this set does not include the pasta attachment. Nowhere in the instructions did it say that all the pieces included in the box were not used at once. After I got everything hooked up properly to the mixer (thanks to the video) I started loading my cooked apples in the tray. I agree with everyone here that the tray should be bigger, or the larger tray attachment should be included. Why not throw in the big tray to begin with? Once I got everything going, I realized the attachment "poops" out the front, meaning all the peels and waste comes out the hole in the front of the attachment in a long tube of pulp. I was not ready for this and now I know to put a smaller bowl under the hole to catch the waste.
The attachment seems very efficient, comparable to the old Foley food mill I'd been using. The texture is very similar. For my trial run, five large apples yielded 2/3 of a quart of applesauce. Much cleaner than using the food mill, since I didn't have to worry about constantly dumping out the waste, it just came out the front. The directions don't say what speed setting to use for making sauce; I guessed and used speed 6 and everything seemed to be great. It took me about 2 minutes to put the five apples through and it was effortless. As long as you keep the apples in the tray and don't dump them down the sides, you shouldn't have much mess at all. When I was finished I unhooked everything, disassembled the pieces and dumped them in a sink full of soapy water. Everything comes apart and is very easy to clean. The hardest thing to get all the apple bits out of was the metal cone.
I can see this being my favorite attachment come summer when canning season begins. This is easy enough to set up and use for small batches of applesauce anytime. Why can applesauce when it's this easy to make? I will eventually use this for jam and baby food. If not for the horrible instructions (or lack thereof) I would give this five stars. How hard would it have been to include a step by step guide to assembling the pieces and include the correct speeds for the attachments? Maybe I'm missing part of my instructions? I don't know, but it shouldn't take a half hour online to figure out, especially when I'm usually pretty savvy at figuring out this kind of stuff.

Description of KitchenAid FVSFGA Fruit/Vegetable Strainer and Food Grinder for Stand Mixers
Quickly and easily strain fresh fruits and vegetables, grind fresh or cooked meat, and so much more with this combination of the fruit and vegetable strainer and food grinder attachment.These two accessories, which may be used with all KitchenAid household stand mixers, turn many tough kitchen chores into walks in the park. The strainer, for example, converts cooked apples and pears into sauces for preserving or immediate consumption. Freezer jams are a snap; so is fresh tomato sauce. Baby foods can be made in quantity and frozen. The grinder is equally versatile--think chuck or turkey for fresh hamburgers; Parmesan for pasta or cheddar for quesadillas; peppers, onions, and tomatoes for salsa; apples for chunky sauce. The grinder has two plates, coarse and fine, the latter of which converts stale bread into crumbs in a jiffy. Both strainer and grinder assemble and disassemble quickly and easily without tools, and most parts are dishwasher-safe. --Fred Brack
