Drum grater set KitchenAid 5KSMEMVSC

The KitchenAid 5KSMEMVSC Drum Grater Set is a versatile accessory designed to expand the functionality of your KitchenAid stand mixer. This set includes three specialized stainless steel drums that attach directly to the multipurpose attachment hub of your mixer, utilizing its motor to perform efficient slicing, shredding, and puréeing tasks. Crafted from durable materials, these drums are built to withstand regular kitchen use while maintaining their performance over time.

Advantages

This drum grater set significantly reduces the time and effort required for food preparation by automating manual grating and slicing tasks. The stainless steel construction ensures that the drums are resistant to corrosion and easy to clean after use. Because they are powered by the stand mixer, they provide consistent results, allowing for uniform shredding and slicing that is difficult to achieve by hand. The compact design ensures that the components are easy to store in standard kitchen drawers or cabinets.

Suitable for

• Grating hard and soft cheeses for pasta or salads
• Shredding fresh vegetables for coleslaw or stir-fries
• Creating fine julienne strips for garnishes
• Preparing fruit or vegetable purées for sauces and baby food

When it may not be suitable

This set is not intended for processing extremely hard items such as frozen foods, large bones, or very dense nuts, as these may damage the drum blades or the mixer attachment hub. It is also not suitable for use without a compatible KitchenAid stand mixer, as it relies entirely on the mixer's power source to operate.

Key specifications

• Material: Stainless steel
• Compatibility: All KitchenAid stand mixer models
• Included components: Purée drum, julienne drum, fine shredding drum
• Dimensions: 81mm x 123mm

How to use

To use the drum grater set, first ensure your KitchenAid stand mixer is turned off and unplugged. Insert the desired drum into the housing unit and secure it according to the mixer's attachment hub instructions. Once locked in place, place a bowl under the outlet of the attachment. Turn the mixer on to a low or medium speed and feed your ingredients into the chute using the provided food pusher. Always use the pusher to guide food through the chute to keep your hands away from the rotating drum.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that you own a KitchenAid stand mixer with a multipurpose attachment hub
• Ensure you have adequate storage space for the three drum attachments
• Check if the included drum types meet your specific culinary needs

Usage recommendations

Always hand wash the stainless steel drums with warm soapy water and dry them thoroughly immediately after use to maintain the integrity of the blades and prevent water spots.
