- The KitchenAid Ice Shave attachment is really unique -- but is it worth the $90 price tag? Chef and food writer Matt Degen bought one and put it to the test. Here's how it went.

I bought one of these things too. And I love it! It's such a lot of fun. The coarse one makes granules like you get at Sonic in your drinks. The fine one makes lovely fluffy ice. I freeze coffee, then top it with sweetened condensed milk. It's a great gadget!
Oh! That's a butter bell!
Glad to hear! I have yet to try coffee, and I love that idea of adding condensed milk 😀 Last night I froze watermelon juice, so that will be turned into a treat later. Cheers! 🙏
I need one of these I loved shaved ice Thanks for sharing it would be great for ranch with wings just a guess
I just found out about this attachment. Thank you for the great review!
Thanks for checking out the video!
Thanks for the demo😊
Thanks for watching 🙏
Thank you so much for this video I got the shaved ice attachment for my birthday in December and I hadn’t gotten a chance to look use it yet I used it yesterday for the first time and it wasn’t easy to use but luckily I found this video it made it so much easier to use and I love it my favorite to make is shaved ice coffee
Thrilled to hear this! Enjoy 😀
Great video
Thank you for the shaved ice gadget video, l recieved it today!
You’re welcome! Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine. 👍
The results look amazing
My product is better
@@eascandy what's your product
Gadget is a butter keeper.
🎉thanks Matt, very interesting. I like gadgets 😊
Thanks! 🙏
I’m enjoying my every day!
It takes literally seconds to get refreshing dessert.
Good to hear! 👍
Thinking I'm going to buy this while it's in sale! Thankful for this video. Not as "scary" as I thought lol.
Right on! Hope you enjoy it as much as we have 😀
We just got one on a big amazon sale. Suoer Excited
Right on! Hope you enjoy it 👍
Love that the attachment cost more than your mixer 😂 New to your channel and had to subscribe!
Thanks so much! And yeah, crazy that the mixer was like 1/3 the price of the attachment 🤣
It looks like a ginger grater on steroids! Love watching your show, very informative.
Thanks so much! 🙏
i use it to make shaved ice for my homemade sausage to cool it down( neccessary to prevent fat separating from meat - you need to keep it cool) and it works great.
and i think i try it with my homemade banana ice
Great idea! Way to think outside the box 👍
I’m in NH and we can’t get real Hawaiian style shave ice. So, all things considered, the price is a whole lot cheaper than a trip to Hawaii every few years!
🤣 a true bargain, then!
I would think there'd be a way to disengage the mixer part that's going round. Pears that taste peachy! :) In Mexico it's common to see raspado stands/carts - the guy will shave a big block of ice and put some syrup on it. A popular flavor is rompope/eggnog.
I think that’s kind of it’s thing, lol: The shaft that otherwise holds the whisk, paddle, etc. over the bowl keeps going. As for peachy pears, glad you caught that 🤣
I don't think it I would buy this myself, but would be fun to gift
I’m curious, if you took the time to directionally freeze solid ice into the given mold, do you think the attachment would hold up to the denser ice?
Good question, but unfortunately one I can’t answer. If it helps, my machine seemed to breeze through this stuff no problem.
@@IWantToCook it does seem quite powerful, so maybe there’s a possibility! Thank you for the hasty response. Liked + subbed, cheers.
I use ice cubes direct from the ref and they work great as well!
Spice grater
Can the ice shaver work with ice cubes?
No, I don’t believe so. You have to freeze the liquid of your choice in those specific ice molds. The molds are sized to fit into the canister, and moreover it creates a groove on top of the frozen puck in which the pushing mechanism attaches itself. From there, the mechanism turns and pushes the frozen puck across the blade to create the shaved ice.
Can I put in the ice cube is it work
Unfortunately no. This is designed to work with the molds created by those pucks.
Butter bell
Mystery gadget is a spice grinder.
🙌🙌
Does this make Hawaiian style Shave Ice?
If Hawaiian style is light and fluffy shavings vs tiny little cubes, then yes.
Butter crock
My gut guess is a table top butter crock thing but not so confident.
And a thumbs up for the BMW touring car shirt. 👍
Thanks! I have a certain weakness for classic Bimmers like a CSL.
Garlic minced.
But I want to use regular ice. I don't want to freeze the ice ahead of time
Unfortunately that’s not the way this machine is designed. Best look for another, like maybe a hand-crank model.
Coco bean grinder
You bring up snowcone machines at the start of the video but not when deciding if it's worth $90. How much use you would get out of it isn't the only factor if there's much cheaper alternatives. There's hand crank for less than $20, motorized in the $50 range. It seems like you're paying 1.8-4x the value for at best counterspace saved, at worst the Kitchenaid name.
Yep, possibly. Though I haven’t tried a snowcone maker, and to my understanding those are larger pieces of ice. I think the idea here is that this creates true shaved ice, not the larger granules of a snowcone. Maybe if someone out there has both they can weigh in. 👍
4 every 24 hours!? Hard pass
the Ice Shaver would work nicely making Margaritas
Indeed it would!
the last item, a course pepper grinder?
