Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy the superior flavor of freshly ground baking ingredients with the support of this straight forward-to-use mixer attachment. Developed for use with KitchenAid stand mixers (sold separately), the all-metal mill attaches conveniently to the mixer's hub to promptly grind any low-moisture and low-oil grain--every thing from wheat, corn, and oats to rice, buckwheat, barley, and millet. Pick from barely cracked to added-fine consistencies--and quite a few settings in among--to reach the exact coarseness desired for each recipe. Preferred of all, just-ground grain imparts a rich, hearty taste and texture to foods, and it prevents the depletion of nutrients standard with store-purchased items. Good for those on gluten-totally free or other unique diets, the unit also tends to make it quick and effortless to prepare delicious cracked-wheat bread, chunky cornmeal muffins, and other everyday staples for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The grain-mill attachment comes with a cleaning brush and measures around 8 by 4-two/5 by 8-1/five inches.
This all-metal attachment grinds wheat, oats, corn, rice, and other low-moisture, low-oil grains. Working with freshly milled grains brings a hearty taste and texture to your baked goods. When you bake with household ground flour you will get all of the fine you could possibly get from a grain. Choose from 'cracked' to added-fine consistency. Includes a cleaning brush.

Buyer Critiques

I have been applying this for a couple of months and it really is time consuming to get the grain through it. You have to start at a low setting and keep moving it through till it really is fine sufficient for baking. I feel it's difficult to clean up but my main concern is that it appears to be a huge strain on the unit itself and that issues me. I could have purchased a totally free standing grain mill for a further 80-100 dollars but to replace my mixer is as you know alot alot more so...I'm on the fence about if or not this was a decent puchase. On the positive, it does perform and the bread is incredibly tasty.
Update 5/12/11-I have had some problems with my kitchen aid mixer given that working with the grain mill. It's slowing down and making strange noises. My sister in law named kitchen aid considering when she purchased and employed the grain mill it broke her mixer. This grain mill according to kitchen aid is not recommended for use with a machine that is not at least 500watt and in the skilled series. I am fairly upset that we had to call to get that knowledge. I've looked and looked everywhere internet and in the manuals and I can't discover it. It seems quite shady to keep that information to themselves.

I've applied this mill for a year now. I quite possibly grind when or twice a week. It's better to use flour while fresh, so grind much less flour, additional regularly. I really like this mill for the following causes:
-Effortless to attach, use, clean, and put away.
-Does not take considerably storage room.
-Not insanely loud (it is loud.. but not ear piercing loud like other stand-alone mills I've heard).
-Doesn't heat the flour as you mill it.
Drawbacks to this grain mill are connected to your intended use.
-There is a size limit to the hopper (I do not grind enough at a time to have this bother me).
-You can only grind so considerably grain before you have to let the motor cool (again, I do not grind enough at a time to worry about this).
-On the finest setting, the grain is not as fine as a $200 plus mill, however, this mill didn't price $200 plus.
I normally begin milling on the finest setting, and then run all of that flour back by way of on the finest setting. Twice through tends to make a noticeable difference, three occasions is unnecessary.
