It did its job, slicing and shredding evenly sized and shaped pieces of carrots, mozzarella cheese, and Yukon potatoes. This attachment did not stand out among the others I tested. The KitchenAid Shredder/Slicer Attachment is a solid option for low volume and occasional shredding, but go with a food processor if you're looking for greater efficiency and capacity. Though the blades are top-rack dishwasher safe, they were perfectly clean after blasting them with water and some light scrubbing with a scouring pad. The spiralizer does come out the furthest from the stand mixer out of the attachments I tested, but since it doesn't add height and you can place a bowl directly under it, I found it easy to manage.Įach of the four blades powered through apples, zucchini, and white potatoes easily, creating fun and evenly shaped spirals. It's easy to put together – after you attach the main body to the mixer, you just slot in the skewer and blade. The seven-piece sets also include thin slicing blades and extra-fine spiralizing blades. I tested the five-piece set that includes small and large core slicing blades, a peeling blade, and medium and fine spiralizing blades. The KitchenAid spiralizer attachment has three parts: the attachment's main body, the skewer, and the blade. Spiralizing can help diversify the way you treat produce by allowing you to turn zucchini into noodles or make tornado potatoes at home. Pros: Simple construction, blades work smoothly through apples, zucchini, and potatoesĬons: Blades have trouble with tougher produce Switch up how you cook produce with the KitchenAid Spiralizer attachment – the blades easily pass through zucchini, apples, and more. To put these attachments to the test, we ground two pounds of meat, made fresh spaghetti and fettuccine, shred enough carrots to make family-style coleslaw, and more. The attachments slot into the port in the front of your mixer and extend upwards or outwards.
One thing we noticed about all the attachments is that you need at least a foot of space directly in front of and above of your stand mixer. Since most are versions of standalone kitchen appliances, we also considered why one might buy a KitchenAid attachment instead. We tested five popular attachments to see how well they performed their specific functions and how easy they were to use, clean, and store. There are 16 attachments that connect through the mixer's front port, as well as other accessories like ice cream bowls and pastry beaters. With KitchenAid attachments, the dough-kneading and egg-white-whipping workhorse can turn into a pasta maker, food processor, meat grinder, and more. For many home cooks, the KitchenAid stand mixer is their most valued possession.
