Last night I was making a baklava and thought I'd grind up the
store-chopped nuts in the meat grinder attachment of the KA Artisan. It
stopped dead. No turning, just motor groaning. I shut it off and tried
to open the ring on the front of the grinder attachment but it was stuck
like it had been glued there.

I kept running water through it and finally, DH, with the aid of one of
those rubber gripper jar openers was able to get the ring loose. What I
found inside was a form of concrete that was made from the nuts and nut
oil solidifying into a cement.

Got out the Cuisinart and did my chopping there.

Moral of the story: Don't put your nuts in the meat grinder.
