KitchenAid SSA Sausage Stuffer Kit Attachment for Food Grinder

This attachment beats a hand-crank grinder and extruder easily. And because it attaches to the mixer itself, I've found it far more stable and easy to access than the grinder-extruder combinations that mount to the countertop. With precious little in terms of countertop space, the mixer takes up more room, but the ease of use more than makes up for that. In combination with the food grinder, I can process an entire deer's worth of meat in an evening with this attachment.

Meat sausage isn't the only thing you can process with this fine attachment. Fruit sausages work equally well and the opening in the extruder is wide enough even for larger items. For the more creative among us, you can use the extruder to fill things like balloons and other awkward items much more easily than with a funnel and an extra pair of hands. You'd be surprised at exactly how many things you'll find you can use this attachment for.

The cleanup of this attachment is a breeze. Nothing sticks to the plastic and soapy hot water makes short work of a dishwashing task that would otherwise be onerous on the hand-crank machines. Better yet, throw it in the dishwasher. For the work I've put mine through, this attachment paid for itself based on ease of use alone before I was done with my first batch of sausage.


Homemade sausage made easy!   June 27, 2000

If you have a Kitchenaid mixer with the food grinder attachment, this sausage maker attachment is a neccesity! It is very easy to attach to the grinder. Get some casings from your supermarket butcher department, slip them onto the sausage tube, put the meat mixture in the grinder and turn it on. Sausage comes out of the tube with ease. It never sticks. Just slide the casings off as the meat extrudes. Twist the casing to size the sausages. There is nothing easier. Beats a hand grinder sausage extruder. Get this!

I wouldn't say this is the fastest extruder around, but then I do 20-30 lbs of sausage at a time (for smoking). I would much rather own a professional-grade extruder, but those cost anywhere from $...and that's just startin' out. This attachment is well worth the few bucks if you've got the meat grinder already. In the services these inexpensive attachments have provided me, my Kitchen Aid mixer has paid for itself over and over and over again.

The sausage stuffer kit is great, it works just fine. There isn't much to it; a few pieces of plastic that probably cost less to produce than the printed box that they came in!

This is such a minor item that KitchenAid should be ashamed of itself for selling it separately. This item should be included with the Food Grinder. Shame on you KitchenAid!
