KitchenAid KSM1APC Spiralizer Attachment with Peel, Core and Slice

Not very impressed- I live all my other kitchen aid gadgets but this doesn’t work very well

parfait pour éplucher les pommes, faire des jolies tranches préparer des entrées de légumes esthétiques. Vraiment contente je conseille

The KitchenAid Fruit and Vegetable Spiralizer Attachment has been a game-changer in my kitchen! It’s easy to attach to my KitchenAid stand mixer, and the process of spiralizing fruits and vegetables is almost effortless. I’ve used it for everything from zucchini noodles to curly fries, and it delivers consistent results every time. The multiple blade options are fantastic for creating different styles, and cleaning the attachment is surprisingly simple. It’s also sturdy and feels like it will last a long time. If you enjoy adding creative, healthy options to your meals, this spiralizer is worth every penny. It’s made meal prep fun and efficient, and I can’t imagine going back to manual spiralizers after using this! Highly recommend for anyone with a KitchenAid mixer.

Solo tener mucho cuidado, está súper filoso! Lo ame! Tiene muchísimas funciones

We've used a manual hand crank peeler, and then manual corer/slicer for preparing apples for applesauce for years, but wanted to save ourselves some time and effort as we've made larger batches each year. We've also used my KitchenAid mixer for years, but never have tried any of the attachments for it yet, so this was our first attempt at using the KitchenAid mixer for anything aside from mixing. This gadget really saved the day! We had 3 1/2 bushels to peel/core (that's about 170lbs of apples!!). We had them all cored and peeled within about 3.5 hours! The best part is that it cores the apples while it peels/slices them so there is nothing left to do after, and there's virtually no clean up other than the spiralizer itself. The apples end up so thin that they cook very quickly too. The spiralizer comes with: -The frame; the part that holds goes in the mixer -The 'stabber'; for holding the veggies/fruit - Peeling blade; removes/peels outer skin - Corer/spiral slicer; removes core and also cuts into a spiral (see video) - Spiral slicer; cuts into a spiral but does not core (ex for tornado potatoes) - Thick cut spiralizer (finer spirals that the spiral slicer - ex for fettucine size spirals) - Thin cut spiralizer (finest spirals - ex for spaghetti size spirals) Note: The peeling blade can be used with any of the other attachments so that you can peel/core&spiral at the same time. The spiralizer's made of sold steel parts (except for the plastic parts that are used to snap the attachments into the frame). It seems like a pretty solid unit and well made. The plastic is a pretty rigid plastic so I don't think that it will have any issues either, and the attachments all snap in/out of the frame easily so they can be interchanged with no issues. The steel frame goes into the KitchenAid mixer easily and apparently it fits any stand mixer. One design improvement that could be made is that you need to depress a spring clip to bring the blade closer to the item you're peeling and if you're not careful you can get your thumb caught between the attachment. It won't cut you, but it does pinch a bit....so just be sure to keep your fingers out of the spring clip when pushing it forward. Another small thing that would improve the product is if they moved the KitchenAid logo away from the frame arm. This is where a plastic guide moves along the arm, and it is not always the smoothest feel. It would probably be a smoother glide if the logo was repositioned. Few tips: -Grease up the frame (where it says kitchenaid) with a little coconut oil or mineral oil to help the plastic guide slide along the frame while in operation. We'll probably put a fine layer of grease on everything before doing apples again because it does get VERY sticky after using it sugary fruits for a long time. -Watch your finger in the plastic spring clip when pushing the blades forward -Rinse off the parts right away to keep them clean, and do not immerse fully in water -Try to keep the box in good shape when opening the unit since it is perfect to use later for storing it again -I prefer keeping the 'stabber' on the machine and then pushing the fruit onto it, but my husband likes to put the item onto the stabber and then put the stabber onto the machine instead. -If you find the 'stabber' part is digging into the item, it only happens when the mixer is going full speed....then just use the mixer a little slower. -Try to line up the apple with the center of the coring blade when putting it on the machine. Some apples can be a bit sideways, so use the core direction as the guide, not the apple itself. -We preferred to put the apples stem side towards the machine and found that worked best -There's a tiny bit of apple peel left at the top/bottom of the apples which is easily removed just by breaking off that part of the chunk (but we just left it) -Press the corer into the apple a bit so it 'grabs' before starting the machine -The height of the spiral is not adjustable (ie how high each slice is) - only the width of spiral based on which attachment you use Overall this was a huge time saver, and we purchased another one for my mom because it saves so much time and is easy to use. You can see my attached video (sorry the video sideways, no video editing capabilities here...hopefully you get the drift!), and attached picture of the spiralizer in the box. Can't wait to try this on potatoes and other veggies. Would add a nice twist to dishes just to make them a little fancier, and would make cute garnishes for veggie trays etc.

I was donated FOUR boxes of Jonagold apples and my countertop hand crank apple peeler just wasn't getting it done fast enough. I had forgotten the many accessories one could purchase for KitchenAid mixers so looked to my Amazon Smile account for help. Also saw on Acre Homestead- these are FABULOUS! Easy to set up and use, I bought the package with several different peeling/spiralizing/coring options. A treat to have in the kitchen!
