  • is the feeder screw plastic or metal ?
  • When I look in the manual on page 3 listed at http://www.everythingkitchens.com/PDFfiles/FGA.pdf, I see that it is both plastic and metal. The core is metal, and the auger on the outside is plastic. I hope this helps.

  • how do I get the auger out of the meat grinder attachment?
  • The manufacturer's manual says the following on page 3 for assembling the auger onto the food mill, so you would need to reverse these directions for removal. If you want to follow along visually, feel free to open the manual on the product page.
    
    "Insert the grind worm (A) into the grinder body (B). Place the knife (C) over the
    square shank at the exposed end of the grind worm. Place grinding plate (D) over
    the knife, matching the tabs of the plate with the notches of the grinder body. Place
    ring (E) on grinder body, turning by hand until secured but not over tightened.
    Note: Use wrench (F) for removal only, do not use to tighten ring."

  • Will this grinder attachment work to grined up deer meat.
  • I copied the following from the manual, so it appears that the FGA Kitchenaid Food Grinder attachment will work just fine for venison.
    
    "Cut food into small strips or pieces
    and feed them into hopper. Meat
    should be cut into long narrow strips.
    Turn mixer to Speed 4 and feed food
    into hopper using food pusher. Never
    put your fingers in the hopper."
    
    "Coarse Plate — Use for grinding
    raw or cooked meats, firm vegetables,
    dried fruits and cheese.
    Fine Plate — Use for grinding raw
    meat, cooked meats for spreads and
    bread for crumbs.
    Grinding Meat — For better mix
    and more tender results, grind beef
    twice. Best texture results from grinding
    very cold or partially frozen meat.
    Fatty meats should be ground only
    once."
    
    However, if you are a hunter, and processing a whole deer at a time, you may be wanting something more heavy duty. Check out the LEM meat grinders at http://www.everythingkitchens.com/lem_meat_processing_products.html#meatgrinders. I hope this helps!
