Re: Kitchen-Aid sausage making attachment?

[Guest guest]

Is it any good? I love sausage and need to start making my own. I guess i

could just do patties but i like how neat the casings make storage. Are

there any sausage making books people can recommend? Has anyone made their

own apple sausages? I really like those. Also, does anyone get grass-fed

veal shipped to them?

I've used mine to my satisfaction. The only technical difficulty was that

grinding lumps of meat with the stuffer attachment at the same time seems to

bind up the worm with the marbling and fat. The blade seems to bog down,

which doesn't happen when I'm just grinding the meat without the stuffer

attachment. The next time I make sausage, I'm going to grind the meat

first, then run it through the stuffer with a naked worm. I'm using a

charice recipe that I found online and my husband was very happy with

it.....the kids found it to be too spicy. I'm going to try andoille next,

since gumbo season is coming up.
