This is a stainless steel part. Much stronger than aluminum and health department preferred. Aluminum is not dishwasher safe or health department acceptable. You will pay more initially but stainless steel does not flake from washing or collect bacteria like aluminum will. Stainless steel is heirloom quality and will last for generations.
This is a great accessory for your Kitchenaid mixer. Use the food grinder attachment to make fresh burgers and sausages. Includes three grinding plates 3/16" holes for standard burger size, 5/16" for larger chili grind and the 1/2 for coarse grind.
Other sizes also available from Butcher-Baker. Loading pan is 8" x 6". This unit is made to last for many, many years - just like your Kitchenaid mixer. At Butcher-Baker we always stock replacement knives, additional stuffing plates or tubes if you ever require them.
