Sleek, silver and a real kitchen powerhouse, this KitchenAid Blender in Silver makes it easy to serve up silky purees, satiny soups and tasty smoothies not recommend for raw meat.

I have never made beef jerky........so I am sorry that I can not help you. I use the grinder to grind up ham and it works great!!! I place chunks of ham in the grinder and it turns out like ground hamburger in consistency. I hope this helps!

Yes because in a blender u might have to add water to mix the food well. In this food mill it doesn't matter how thick the food is, it will be ground well!

This attachment only works on the Kitchen Aid Mixer. I don't think it would be suitable for grinding meat. But if you check their attachment list, I believe Kitchen Aid makes an meat grinder and a sausage stuffer. Good luck! I have owned my Kitchen Aid for years and it has been a great product.

I haven't used this model, it was a gift...but the previous model called a Happy Bwby Food Grinder, left little to nothing when the plunger reached the blade. If you are doing really tough, dry meat, you might have a little problem. I chopped any meats us tiny and incorporated with a vegetable.

Probably not. It is not the intended use. The blender is for soft fruits and veggies.

No I have never used it to cook ground beef. Not sure what outcome you are looking for but the masher's holes are relatively small in diameter - so if you want to squash the fats out of the meat it would probably work ok.

Definitely not. I use it to make dog food and have difficulty every time as the gristle from the meat clogs the blade and I have to take apart, unclog and finish. When I use meat with bones it is even worse.

hello heather, the best solution is a immersion blender. you can puree in seconds and you can look at the puree as you are doing it to see if it is pureed to your desired consistency.less clean up than a food processor or blender. you can puree in the vessel you cooked the vegetable in. do not buy a cheap model. i would suggest a bamix, braun. or kitchenaid.search at amazon under "immersion blender". the kitchenaid with chopper looks good. it is $99. i have not personally used it.the reviews are encouraging. do your homework. read the reviews. make sure the shaft is all stainless. shaft. i have a excellent braun mr5550mbc it retails for $299. ouch! i did not pay that much. i am not sure why the price is so high. you can use it for many healthy snacks for children fruit smoothees etc. wonderful for making soups. i also have a food processor but find the immersion blender a better choice for puree. ace

No, not really. Meat requires a very sharp blade and although the blades in the machine are sharp, they're not that sharp. It works great for making ground beef with the cutting mixing blade, but for those deli slices, you are better off with a machine made for the job. Just search Amazon for "deli slicer" or "meat slicer."

Probably as a chopper or if you want to make sauces.But I wouldn't invest the money in this. I bought it and returned it. A hand blender does the job.

I've only used it to cook fruits and veggies. For meats I would boil on the stove, then use the Cook and Blend to puree.

I mixed pork fat with my deer meat and it ground it. Like i said for the money it did the small amount of meat i had. I'm used to a butcher shop grade grinder

I don't know; I've never tried that. It can be ground into flour, or cooked as a whole grain. If your blender can grind tough grains like rice, than it should be able to do this, too.

I have used it to grind chicken and turkey, with bones, to make raw pet food. No problems whatsoever! I am sure it will do the job for you!

No I don't think you want to try grinding bones less you want a big mess on your hands....I ground small 1" peaces of just meat and it was a big job pushing the meat down the feed hole it kept pushing the meat back up and out all over the counter....You should look at better electric unit to grind bones.........LEM makes a good unit but expect to pay 200 at least........

You have to get the meat grinder attachment to use the fruit and vegetable strainer. So, yes, as long as you have the meat grinder, which is technically an integral part of the fruit and vegetable strainer, yes it will but you don't need the fruit and veggie part to grind meat. The part you see to the left fits over the meat grinder and takes a different spiral thing. The funnel part that you put the fruits and veggies in is the meat grinder showing. The old metal meat grinders will not work with the fruit and vegetable strainer because the way the screen attaches as the straining part is different on the new and old ones. so I have both an old and a new one.
