Amazon.com Review: For use with all KitchenAid household stand mixers, these parts add a strainer function to the KitchenAid food grinder accessory (which is not included). Cooks who have the food grinder will find the strainer to be a valuable addition. Like the grinder, the strainer turns many tough kitchen chores into walks in the park. It converts cooked apples and pears into sauces for preserving or immediate consumption. Freezer jams are a snap; so is fresh tomato sauce. Baby foods can be made in quantity and frozen. The strainer assembles and disassembles quickly and easily without tools, and most parts are dishwasher-safe. --Fred Brack

I live in Southern New Hampshire, surrounded by apple orchards. Every fall my family makes a project out of canning homemade applesauce. We buy "B-grade" apples at the orchards for very little money. The result is a product of stunning quality and flavor that simply cannot be purchased commercially at any price. It is also less expensive than commercial applesauce, so we have a win-win. We usually process 3-5 bushels of apples. If you aren't familiar with these quantities, it's a LOT of apples. The KitchenAid FVSP Fruit and Vegetable Strainer takes the labor and time out of what would otherwise ... Read More

Rating: - Just as Advertised!
This attachment requires the prior purchase of food grinder. Setup was intuitive, and easy. The strainer worked the first time exactly as advertised, quick and easy. The total elapsed time to make a brimming 2 quarts of applesauce, including canning water bath, was about an hour. So much faster than food mill, as you only have to chunk the fruit before cooking. I placed the mixer next to the sink, so the discarded peel ect. dropped into the sink, and silky applesauce into a bowl. I used a pyrex 1 cup measure to load the hopper, and it worked as fast as I could reload. Cleanup was easy, a second ... Read More
Rating: - Works great
The Fruit and Vegetable strainer is really easy to attach to the food grinder accessory and very easy to clean. I was impressed with how effective it was and how it still left some of the pulp in the juice, just the way I wanted it. I put the "waste" through a second time and got an additional amount of juice from it. It's definitely a must-have for anyone who does canning. The only negative was that it forced me to do a lot of work at shoulder level or higher, so next time I am going to have to find a lower surface, cause it wore me out!
