Making ice cream at home is fun and allows you to customize flavors, but since ice cream is a seasonal treat and standalone ice cream makers take a bit of space, you might be reluctant to invest in one-that's where this attachment comes in handy. Ĭheck out the full video below.We Tested KitchenAid's Ice Cream Maker Attachment Which is expected with a shreddable item like cheese. When I took the slicers off of the attachment it was only a few pieces of debris. I haven’t used it to slice yet- which i will but I highly suggest this product. I’m sure it’s a delicate balance between overwhelming the machine as well as maintaining the balance of consistent shreds but I think I did pretty good. At first I was only a little at a time but then I realized this was literally a machine and could handle more cheese. But…you can add a lot more to the feeding tube to make the process go faster. I didn’t use my machine on anything higher than stir and 2 I tried to go higher but the cheese starting flying a little much. You can use the bowl that comes with your kitchenaid but because of where the slices “come out” you’ll have to put the bowl off to the end to catch the slicings. LOL I don’t like a lot of prep work so the faster the better. To me taking down my kitchenaid off the shelf then getting the plug in blah blah blah- it’s just a lot. Otherwise the hand shredder or slicer can work for smaller dishes. I would suggest this product if you have a LOT of something to shred. The price point of this plug in isn’t bad (even for a frugal Franny like me). When I first grabbed that and my Kitchenaid mixer I was questioning whether or not it was really “that serious” but after I had shredded 5 blocks of cheese in a quarter of the time it usually takes- it definitely is. There are three: There is a larger one shredder, a medium shredder and then a large “slicer.” The functionality and ability to connect the blades to the Kitchenaid mixer is not overly complicated. What I like about the shredder from the outset is it has various blades. For the record I do have a hand shredder (because of course I do) but I wanted to compare it to the kitchenaid shredder. This past weekend I made my infamous SECRET mac n cheese (exclusive to those in the Peach Crew) and decided to use the slicer to slice the cheese. Canning can be a tedious project and because I’ve been slicing more and more cucumbers for more and more pickles (COMING SOON, lol) I needed something to help with that effort. I had been eyeing it for a while really for the slicing capabilities. This past Christmas my mother purchased the Kitchenaid Slicer/Prepper for me. The attachments weren’t that much more expensive but if I could do the same things for less money what difference did it make? Or so I thought. I had been wanting the Kitchenaid mixer for the longest but I just couldn’t click “purchase.” Of course my mixer came with the standard mixer heads but I hadn’t purchased any attachments (because frugal). My Kitchenaid mixer was a Christmas gift from Hubs (shout out to Him!) a few years (maybe 5 years) ago. So the combination of the those two traits usually makes me hesitate to buy things. But the surprise may come as where I am a kitchen product junkie- I am also kind of frugal. It should probably come as no surprise that I am a kitchen product junkie.
