Mine's the plastic one. Now I know what to be on the lookout for. Thanks.

I would have assumed that the microwaves would kill the yeast.

I just picked up one of these Koolatrons at the thrift store (this is becoming somewhat of a fetish for me - "things with cords" start at five bucks and usually don't go any higher than fifteen), and though I've fiddled with it a little, I've got a more serious question now. Has anyone used it...

I'd be interested in hearing what those "reservations" are. I picked up a Champion about six months ago at the thrift shop for $10 (the great thing about Champions is that if you don't look too closely or know what you're looking at, it just looks like an electric motor with some other stuff in...

Interesting - I didn't expect that a standalone grinder would be so cheap, but the low-end Lem doesn't sell for much more than this KA kit. I think I can see why you have push with it, though: the auger path from feed tube to plate looks awfully short. I've never studied auger design, but...

Yes, I got the pusher with the kit. I felt that I had to force the mix down into the auger a lot harder than I should have. And when I pulled the pusher back out to feed another handful in, the suction made it really hard to withdraw and tended to pull the meat back up the feed tube. Overall...

Ah, very interesting. Thanks for the lead. I'm sure they'll improve its performance, but I think a lot of the trouble I had with it is just in the auger design. When I was stuffing the sausages it just wouldn't feed the (already ground) meat with any pressure. Struck me as odd, and I want to...

I note that this is an old thread, but just signed up and figure I might as well throw in my two bits. Five bucks for the KitchenAid pasta set?! You killed with that one - I thought I did well at $24 in the thrift shop (okay, I did... it's a $250 set new). I really like mine, and I don't have...
