So glad you are so creative. I probably would have thrown it across the room. Thanks for sharing this! Keep on being Nili 😄👍
Oh, believe me, it was very close to being thrown across the room. Video editing is a beautiful thing! 😂
A hand-held FOLEY FOOD MILL is reliable and will process a larger quantity more quickly. You would cook the fruit first to soften it then remove the seeds & skins in the food mill. Very affordable.
I'll check that one out! Thank!
My mom left skins on apples which made pink applesauce. Just throw out the skins with the seeds.
A Foley has nothing on the actual Kitchen Aid strainer.
I have the KitchenAid meat grinder and food mill that I purchased together, and they work great. I've used them several times and they work perfectly. I use them for apples all the time. They aren't hard to put together and get apart. In fact, I've never had to use the wrench end of the pusher to tighten or loosen the parts, and it never leaks. KitchenAid is definitely worth the price!
Very good to know! If I do end up investing in the real thing I'm glad to know that it's good quality!
"Leaning on the Everlasting Arms" one of my all-time favorites.
Hi Nili! Loved all your attempts at making your KitchTree attachment work. It may very well be defective, so I would definitely contact the seller/manufacturer to determine if that’s the case. If the manufacturer is legit, I would think it has a strong need to make it right. This is particularly true because of your strong and trusted presence on the various social media platforms! Please consider following through and give us an update! You’re the best! 🥰
I learned a long time ago. Never buy generic attachments for my KitchenAid with a single exception. That was for the Beater Blade. The mixing blade with the rubber sides that scrapes the bowl as you mix. It works beautifully. The rest have all been junk.
Agree - that beater blade is a good purchase.
I've seen that rubber beater blade... I'll have to get one. Thanks!
@@IndigoNili Make sure you get the real "Beater Blade" . There are many copy cats out there but they're called Edge Beater, Flex Beater etc. The original is made by New Metro. They make different versions for different models of Kitchen Aid mixers.
@@IndigoNili my rubber beater blade works great but mines kitchenaid. I refrane from buying generic ,i seem to spend same after i buy2-3 junkers.
agree don’t waste money on generic attachments
I bought my first kitchen aid in 1978 when we got married. The first attachment I got for it was a three pack! Grinder, slicer, and the food mill. $79 dollars for the box with all three in it! I love the food mill. Only way I’ve ever made seedless blackberry jam, and applesauce ( cooking whole washed apples with cinnamon sticks and a little water) the blackberries do spatter juice! I’ve taped up a bit of newspaper around it and it kept the splatters contained. I got rid of the slicer attachment and upgraded to the newer one, and it works well for when I need to shred lots of cheese. I had the old noodle making attachment, all the disks fit inside the plunger. ( you needed to meat grinder with it) passed that along to my daughter. My husband gave me the newer noodle making attachment for a Christmas gift one year but we don’t use it at all really. It’s hard when they change things and attachments don’t fit. Thanks for your review ❤️💕
A few people have mentioned the 3 pack attachments. I wish they still sold them like that! To buy them all separately now would probably cost close to $200 😳
I got the 3 pack years ago, find they are a lot to store and clean, just gifted them to my son who is a chef. Hopefully he will get more use out of them. I have upgraded from a Kitchen-aid to a Bosch mixer, bought one refurbished and love it
Sometimes you do get what you pay for. Your perseverance is commendable…. Just watching my patients is being tried! Great job in getting what you needed!
I have the original 3 piece attachment from Kitchen Aid and have had them since 1990ish, and they work great!
Awesome trying to figure it all out … nothing is ever easy is it?!? Great review thanks.
Honestly the hand crank food mills are brilliant and you can get the kids join in!
Good job with documenting the canning process at the end of the video. The music, in my opinion, was a good match for such a rustic and homey activity.
Enjoyed watching thank you 😊
Enjoy watching your videos. As watching this one, I remember that I have an accessory kit that I got years ago with my kitchen aid. Never used, still in original box if you are interested let me know (I don’t know how to communicate with you except this way). The kit has slicer/shredder, food grinder, and fruit and vegetable strainer.
That is incredibly generous of you! Can you email me at indigoliza@gmail.com ? I'm working on getting a new PO box set up and as soon as I do I can send you the address and I can send you some money for shipping. Thank you! ❤️
Awithww, that's so sweet of you!!! :)
Love your videos. You are very helpful, so I feel like I'll just tell you how I do it.
When making applesauce, I wash and core the apples, I never peel them. Then I cut them roughly, throw them in a big pot (huge batches here). I add a tiny bit of water so that they don't burn until they let liquid out. I may add cinnamon if I feel like it. Then I let them cook down about half the hight and I simply blend them with immersion blender. Next I have my sterilized jars and lids, and through a wide funnel (without messing any jars with sauce, I wipe them with a clean damp cloth if I do), I pour the sauce while it's still simmering in the pot, into the jars leaving about ¾-1inch at the top. I screw on the lid and flip them upside down. They will seal beautifully after a few hours.
I do the same with peaches, tomato sauce, blackberries (+a bit sugar), aronia (needs more liquid and some sugar). I like to keep it simple. Hope it helps!😊 I love that you guys moved to a farm. We did that 3 years ago (we went more rural though) and would never go back.
Thank you! ❤️
I have owned the genuine kA brand of that and it worked great for me for many years. I had purchased it as a trio, which included the slicer/shredder too.
That's good to hear. If I do end up investing in the real thing I want to know it's good quality!
What model instatpot is that? I know I can use my instantpot, or any pressure cooker for canning, but I just noticed yours had a nice canning setup that I do not have.
I have the kitchen aid food mill and I love it. I wonder if you could find a older version of the food mill on eBay?
I looked and couldn't find anything with a reasonable price 😔
My mom used to use a cone sieve, which also worked very well. Sometimes these electric gadgets don't work as well as good old elbow grease. Sometimes you can find these relatively often at thrift stores, or antique stores. There are new ones on Amazon and William Sonoma makes one too.
Yes, I'm certainly considering a manual option!
Wonderful music that goes well with your expanding sustainable lifestyle.
Dried apple slices those are 😋 yummy
What is that instant pot with the canning feature on it? Is it really a pressure canner?
No suggestions here. How frustrating, but I'm glad you had a workaround. I am laughing about "unicorn horn" and "party hat" 🦄🎉 😆
😂 😂
That grinder would drive me batty. I’d be throwing it across the room! You have more patience than I do. Happy processing 💕
Oh, it was VERY close to be thrown across the room! 😆
Did you ever try the Victoria strainer, it works great for applesauce and tomatoes, never tried berries but it 8s great
I will check it out! Thanks!
All I have is a hand mill that is really old, I got it at a flea market. It doesn’t have all the pieces it’s stopped to have but I don’t have a lot of use for a food mill (I only make fresh milled tomatoes every once in awhile.)
Suggestion for the apples - dehydrate them! I have a very simple dehydrator and I do apples, herbs etc - can even make ‘fruit leather’ with a additional cover for the trays so they don’t leak etc. The children could really get involved in the preservation process.
Yes! I just did my first batch of apple chips yesterday and they turned out great! I want to make some dried apple chunks for the kids to add to their trail mixes too
And great for herbs. They taste so much better. Levi might like the bananas 🌞
I don't have this,but I do have this attachment, but I do have the meat grinder and it works pretty well. For berries and such I have a victorio grinder. Mine is hand cranked,but they do have an electric one. They are pretty pricey. I mostly use mine for tomatoes. It works great and well worth the investment if you plan to use one for years.
Un petit bonjour de la France ..très belle vidéo merci.
That's amazing! When you achieve a beautiful loaf, it's a pretty magical feeling! 😊
you can purchase a masticating juicer for the kitchenaid. Cheaper and it extracts the juice perfectly for jellies and jams. It is only $49 and I love ours. Works for so many things.
Also, you can use the food grinder small hole disc for food mill. We have done that with tomatoes etc
I'll have to look into that! Thanks!
Can you find a KitchenAid food mill attachment in the old version of your meat grinder on eBay?
I looked and couldn't find anything at a reasonable price 😔
Could you put the catch tray on before you tighten the ring down so it's behind the ring?
Also if you have a vitamix it makes applesauce without peeling the apples. 🍎 🍏
Blendtec too.
I have been using for about 45 years now a squeeze hoe strainer, all metal, vintage. They're about the same price as what you just paid for yours. Works great for tomatoes, and fruits. Apples, I would just wash cut put in a kettle with just enough water to soften and run them through. All seeds and skins come out one end and all the Pope the other I would let the pukp drip to make a clear apple jelly and then make apple butter with what was left.
Chris , did you mean to say “pulp” instead of “Pope”? 😊
Thanks, I think I fixed the mistake. I have very little vision and I have to do voice to text. Sometimes it comes out really weird.

I understood what you meant 😊
I know this is going to sound weird but I watched this thinking you tried the kitchen aid veggie sheet maker. I want one. So in a way I am glad this item was the fail not the veggie pasta sheet maker.
maybe instead of returning it, you can get a replacement. that way you'll know if you got a dud or it's really not a good product overall.
I didn't know the meat grinder attachment had been changed. Mine is still boxed and unused from years ago when I bought it.
I love the multi color trivet! Where can I find one?
I got it from Trader Joe's a year or so ago. I've also gotten a gray one and one that is real colors (greens, browns and burgundy) I love them!

Frustrating to be sure! Koodos for your persistence!
A dab of veg oil on the treads might help with the tightening issues.
Maybe you can find an "old" KitchenAid food mill on FB marketplace or something?
We have Grandma's old hand meat grinder that she used to make roast beef hash, but the KitchenAid stuff is awesome.
Yeah, I might be able to hunt one down eventually
I think the title of this video should be changed to generic Kitchen Aid attachment, since this Fail is not a true Kitchen Aid product. However, I love when you show us successes and Fails
I added "generic" to the title. Technically it attaches to my KitchenAid so it's a "KitchenAid attachment" but I understand the confusion
Did you try reversing the rod with the spring, it seems that it could be installed in either direction.
I could try that... I put it in the way the instruction manual showed but who knows! 👍🏼
I also have the Kitchenaid meat grinder and food mill and have had no issues, leaks etc. I use the meat grinder for meats, also fruits for canning. Kitchenaid is pricey, but quality in performance. Definitely worth the investment.
Yes, I'm leaning that I should have just made the investment!
Have you tried putting the well on first then screwing on the nut? Just a thought cause it would allow everything to push back fartgwr
Bless your heart! This is the last wonky piece of equipment for you.
First was the drippy, hard to turn on Instant Pod, then the Instant oven that only rotisseries tiny chickens if your lucky and now this..
I would send that thing back..
Only good luck with gadgets from now on!
Exactly! I don't know what's going on! Lol! 😆
@@IndigoNili Yikes! I have an Instant Pot Pro 8-quart, and I love it! I've been meaning to get a two-tear steamer basket insert for months now and haven't settled on one. :) I'm the queen of researching something to death and hessitating forever afward lol. I need to do what I usually do and make a document of notes about all the different ones I'm considering. Did you replace the Instant Pot or just decide to heck with it? I'll have to look for the video you did on it. :)
I'm having no issues with my instant pot pro. I love it! My Instant Pod coffee maker is what was giving my trouble ☺️
I have those parts but they are made by kitchen aid and they work perfectly.
Good to know that making the investment is worth it!
Well that is sure a bummer. Can you contact the company that makes it for assistance?
I might try that
SHARED TO THE BURGH! Nope, never used a foodmill and probably will not. However, I am sure my parent's used meat grinder, etc...grew up on a farm, youngest of 10 children. Enjoy your day
Nili, I KNEW the moment the video opened and you said you used generic parts that it was not going to go well. KA is an awesome appliance but you need to take the plunge and buy genuine parts for dependability. Your investment will be well worth it now that you have your farm.
Lesson learned! 😆
Part of your problem, besides buying a Chinese knockoff, is that you are supposed to assemble the meat grinder parts on the mixer first, then start adding the other parts that you are struggling with, so you don't need three hands to hold everything.
First thing I thought of when I saw the pulp is to dehydrate for black berry powder.
We fed it to the chickens. They thought it was great 😄🐓
I have a meat grinder, kitchen aid, it is all metal. Works great
Perhaps that’s why you should buy kitchen aid attachments rather than the cheaper version. I have the kitchen aid version and it’s fabulous!!🙂
Lesson learned!
So, beware of non-kitchenaid attachments...
My meat grinder is not Kitchenaid, but it was highly recommended (sites and reviewers), and really good...
But seeing your new gadget, wow... thanks for sharing the ordeal
At first I thought it was wrongly assembled (by you), but they I thought "I would have done the same thing"... the design is on the edge, but the manufacture is what's responsible for the failure
I have the same jimmied up mess you have! So annoyed …
Live and learn
yup
Yes, buy a hand crank Foley food mill. Easy peasey
Another generic FAIL is the generic paddle with scraper for the 12 cup blender. NOt a deal at all!
I view KitchenAid as a luxury line and I want everything to stay in that class. Just stick to the brand name. 😀❣️
Maybe it was supposed to have a rubber gasket inside the plastic nut that tightens'?
I didn't see anything in the instructions that looked like that 🤔
I use a Weston Meat Grinder.
I'll check that one out!
@@IndigoNili Try Pleasant Hill Grain.
This is why I think it's worth the money to just buy the KitchenAid brand attachments. :-)
😐Bummer-hope it was returnable? Maybe you got a defective one.. I sent lots back to Amazon for a refund.
This looks like how it would look in a juicer. My juicer works like that.
I have a question… I thought I read that I could NOT use my InstantPot for canning jars. Am I mistaken?
The Instant Pot max has a canning feature. It has a higher pressure option.
Insta pot is not an approved canner.
Any Instant Pot can be used for waterbath canning. The Instant Pot Max has a Canning button and although they say it can be used to can both high and low acid foods, I choose to only can high acid foods in it just to be on the safe side.
You did not thread the collar on correctly.
🤓
All the videos I saw showed them assembling it on the machine.. Maybe you assembled it wrong?
assemble it on the machine it’s much easier
Keep buying generic. The money you save won’t add up to your unnecessary aggravation.
The problem with reviews is that you can't be sure they are legit. Sorry you had to go through that! If you reach out to the manufacturer and show them the video they might be able to replace the pieces if they are perhaps flawed.
That is true. After going back to the reviews I found one that showed and complained about the same gap at the end of the shaft that I was talking about
66
I have the flour mill, I love it. I have the meat grinder, works great. The flour mill is to be used for flour not fruit. I love all my kitchen aid attachments. I mill my own flour, I have an electric flour sifter. It’s great. I don’t think your doing it right. Mine is perfect your making me crazy. Bye
Don’t gamble with blackberries 😭
Get a juicer
No more Generic
🤣Potty break
Made where ?
In China, I think
Bottom line you get what you pay for.
Yup. I had hoped that paying $65 would get me something worth $65. But alas, that was not the case 😔
