Kitchenaid mixer for 5lb batches of sausage?
-
I can do 5 lbs in my 7 qt Kitchen Aid, the motor is a lot stronger than the smaller ones as well. I use the paddle. You need to start and run slow, otherwise you will wear what you are trying to mix and really over mix you meat. Also the colder, the better. The corkscrew is a doughhook and won’t mix well.

Well, it would probably mix dough ok.

Hey guys! So I have a 40lb meat mixer currently and am not too happy with it’s mixing capability. It’s a PITA to take apart and clean, and it doesn’t mix well. I’m constantly having to scrape the sides and fins. I’m just curious if anyone has used the Kitchenaid mixer to mix smaller batches of sausage, say 5lb batches at a time. If so what kind of extraction are you getting? Does it work well for mixing sausage? Which attachment are you using(paddle or bread sprial)?
Thanks a ton.

Those are Abpits i just bought a hand held double auger cement mixer on Amazon. Used it twice so far a 9lb. And 24lb. Batch in a large stainless stock pot so far works like a charm fast and incredible extraction. -

armyguy I found that it was a waste of time to use a Kitchenaid. It’s really not designed for the kind of mixing we are doing for sausages. The are expensive to replace if you burn up the motor. You can buy a good grinder and mixer for about the same price as a Kitchenaid. I know firsthand.

there has to be a better design for an affordable stand alone mixer other than a used piece of used large equipment or two pieces

Ive used a big ka mixer for 5 lb batches with good results. I usually use mine on test batches that are below the 10lb min of my manual lem mixer.

smokinbubba Big KA, is kitchen aid? I googled Big Ka and didnt find anything, and then realized that is probably what you meant.

For batches that small, it is easy enough to mix by hand. Get some thin cotton gloves to put on under your latex to keep fingers warm and go to town.

Sorry, yes KA = kitchen aid. I think its a 12 qu lift bowl. I cannot mix by hand. Carpel tunnel or something. Hurts too bad.

smokinbubba my kitchen aid is the artisan and 5 lb tends to ride up past the top of the bowl , hand mixing at my age and other considerations added is at times difficult
