I recently got the KitchenAid Fresh Prep Slicer/Shredder Attachment. Full transparency, I’m not the cook in my house. My wife is. It’s not a chauvinist thing. I grill but can’t prep or cook like she can. The usage portion of the review is from her perspective.In the box (which due to how well the box and styrofoam inserts are made, doubles as a storage case), you get a Slicer/Shredder attachment, a Slicing Blade (3mm), a Medium Shredding Blade (4mm), a Coarse Shredding Blade (6mm), a 2-in-1 Food Pusher, and instructions.The included manual tells you all that you need to know to get started and to prep/slice your foods. Everything is built to the high standards that KitchenAid is known for (backed by an “okay-ish” one year warranty… and everything included ... MoreI recently got the KitchenAid Fresh Prep Slicer/Shredder Attachment.

Everything is built to the high standards that KitchenAid is known for (backed by an “okay-ish” one year warranty… and everything included (except the fresh prep slicer/shredder attachment, which must be washed by hand) is dishwasher safe, making cleanup a snap. I should know, as my wife cooks and I clean… only fair.My wife used the 6mm Coarse Shredding Blade attachment with a 7-quart bowl-lift KitchenAid stand mixer to shred white and yellow cheddar cheese blocks for a baked macaroni and cheese… which was deee-licious. She noted the following:The slicer/shredder attachment was super easy to install and remove. After lifting the plug on the stand’s top housing’s motor, insert the blade into the slicer/shredder housing‘il you hear a click, slide the slicer/shredder attachment into the housing motor, tighten the housing knob. That’s it. It locks solidly in place. To remove, perform the actions in reverse. After removing the slicer/shredder attachment, press the release lever on the slicer/shredder attachment to remove the blade. Simple.As far as results, she said that it did take a little bit to get used to how much cheese she could process at any given time. She initially tried to push too much of the block in, and while the grater chugged along, the issue was that the hollow area inside the grater would get clogged, if she didn’t stop every once in a while and use a spatula to help the grated cheese out of the grater. I asked whether she thought this was a design flaw. She said, no… the approach made sense. You just have to take your time and clear the grater (especially with soft cheese) every once in a while. She noted that when you get to a certain point on the cheese block that the grater can’t seem to process it. So you end up with some remaining cheese chunks, which is no different than a manual grater (and with the included food pusher, you don’t chance skinning your fingers/knuckles in the process). She also said, compared to using an old-school manual grater, this thing was so much faster and easier that she wished we got it a long time ago. We’ve been married 22 years if that’s any indicator.I asked her for her star rating on the KitchenAid Fresh Prep Slicer/Shredder Attachment. She said that it’s a solid four-star in that it delivers exactly as promised. Five stars goes above and beyond. I asked her if she’d recommend the purchase to others. She said, “Definitely. First it’s KitchenAid, so you know it’s good. Second, it makes the entire shredding process, from start to finish, super simple compared to manual graters.” She said she loved the KitchenAid Fresh Prep Slicer/Shredder Attachment set and certainly recommends it to anyone considering it.

I have a 5qt bowl lift mixer and this attachment fits perfectly. What I love most about it is that the blades and pusher are dishwasher safe and can also be easily washed by hand. I usually try to avoid buying pre-shredded cheese because they have added starches that affect how the cheese melts in recipes. This attachment makes it so quick and easy to shred blocks of cheese. I’ve also shredded carrots and it does stain the white plastic part of the attachment, so that’s something to be mindful about. I’m fine with it because I figured it would happen eventually, but it is something that could bother other people. I do experience food getting stuck between both in the shredder and also between the shredder and the housing attachment. As a result, I have to stop and ... MoreI have a 5qt bowl lift mixer and this attachment fits perfectly.

I’m fine with it because I figured it would happen eventually, but it is something that could bother other people. I do experience food getting stuck between both in the shredder and also between the shredder and the housing attachment. As a result, I have to stop and scrape the food out. It can also have some trouble shredding once the food item gets too small in size. For example, when onions get too small they will just spin around and not actually get shredded. I will probably stick to a regular box grater for small and quick jobs, but will turn to this for preparing large meals especially around the holidays.
