Question: it is made from plastic or coated metal?
Document: This tool works very well, my first one lasted 25+ years.It's a must for any serious home gardener.It makes preparing tomato sauce a breeze.The problem with these is the plastic discolors, and splits over time.Do not make the mistake of attempting to seed grapes with it, the screen is too fine.The end result is irreparable damage to the unit.The manufacturer should sell with a variety of screens, and all metal parts.
Had the bread cubes totally dried out as per the instruction manual, after a while started noticing white flecks in the crumbs coming out. Turns out that dried bread cubes are harder than the plastic and had been destroying the thing by grinding the plastic off.
Maybe about 2 tbs dripped from the entire 10 qt batch. I was worried about the plastic staining from the mulberry juice but clean up was easy, no stains. I can hardly wait for my apple tree to get ripe. No more folley mill for me!
You just have to cook any fruit which isn't already totally soft or cooked until completely mushy. I do like the backward pour-out design of the strainer unit.Also, the picture shows a wooden pusher; the unit now comes with a plastic pusher which doubles as a wrench for a too-tight twist holding nut. It also is molded with places for your fingers, which is nice.I like the quality of the Kitchenaid plastic.
This I have gotten out with a small bamboo skewer. Also, as mentioned, the additional add-on tray makes it much easier, and I, too, wish it would have been included with the set. We got the plastic plunger, not the wooden one, and though it does get food in the grooves as mentioned, it isn't too hard to use, and rinses right off.Overall, we are very pleased, and can't believe how much faster it is to make applesauce with this.
Bought this to make pear sauce. It works great for that but you really do need the larger tray for the hopper. Would have given it 5 starts if I hadn't also needed to purchase the larger hopper tray. The mess is kept well contained. Sauced about a bushel of pears and this was the easiest part.If you use the meat grinder feature to make ground meat, make sure you put the "plus sign" shaped metal scraper piece in behind the metal extruder plate.
I have owned a Victorio strainer and hesitated to buy this attachement. I wish I had bought it years ago. It is:1) easy to assemble.2) easy to use.3) easy to clean.4) stellar results.I bought a plastic tub to store all the components in -- but there are no teeny tiny pieces to keep track of. I absolutely LOVE this product. I also bought the food tray to use with it.
The grinder and vegetable strainer work great. The package was delivered on time, as expected. Would have given it 5 stars, except the food pusher that was included in the package was NOT the nice solid wood pusher shown in the picture. It is a plastic pusher, not solid. Works fine until you try to process ground meat a 2nd time, making sausage, or trying to use the sausage stuffer. The ground meat comes up the grooves in the pusher, it's a mess.
Steel auger drive shaft broke after 1 day. Score: Steel 0,  Carrot 1. Spring loaded auger did not line up correctly with food inlet so unless the auger had food pushing the auger back continuously food would get stuck between electric motor and auger. Incredibly poor at straining juice from carrots but was fine for soft fruits. Took two hours and produced very large mess to produce I 16oz of juice. Plastic is great quality but design needs to be reviewed.
We made applesauce for the first time and this attachment worked great. I would encourage anyone that's thinking about purchasingthis item to do so.
Answer: Mostly durable plastic but the strainer part and auger that fits into the mixer is made of metal. I'm very satisfied with this accessory.
