There are several different types of spice grinder, with each having its own different pluses and minuses for purchasing. Spice millProbably unsurprisingly, KitchenAid, one of the leaders in kitchen gadgets, earned the spot of best multipurpose spice grinder with its dual coffee and spice grinder. Unlike other grinders, which require thorough cleaning between different spices—or when you switch from coffee grinding to spice grinding—the KitchenAid comes with three separate stainless steel grinding bowls. The stainless steel grinding bowl is removable and comes with a storage lid, so if you need to store spices, you can pop the lid on and put it right into your pantry. However, unlike the KitchenAid, the Krups only comes with one grinding bowl, so you won’t be able to grind new spices while you’re storing any. Key details – Dimensions: 6.18 x 6.18 x 21 cm (LWH); Electric: No; Colours available: 18 to choose from Pestle and mortar: Made up of a heavy bowl (mortar) and a club-shaped tool (pestle), this is a primitive and centuries-old means of grinding spices and other foods. These come in a range of sizes, from small ones no bigger than a teacup to large Mexican molcajete. Pestle and mortars are versatile as both dry and wet mixes can be ground in them.

The spice grinder is also a handy storage pot for leftover whole spices. Unscrew the top of the plunger to reveal an air-tight compartment. Some of the glass spices mills are finished with shiny stainless steel which gives a crisp contemporary look on the dinner table. SizeRoast the hazelnuts in the oven for about 8-10 minutes then let them cool briefly on a kitchen towel and use the kitchen towel to rub off the skin. Lower the temperature of the oven to 150°C. Die Microplane-Mühle würde auch dieses Problem nicht kennen. Wiederum ist mir auch bei meiner zweiten älteren Mühle das Mahlergebnis lieber. Our Microplane Spice Mill is the ideal tool for grinding and storing hard spices that aren't suitable for our CrushGrind salt and pepper mills. If you need a spice grinder mainly for salt and pepper, the Eparé Dual Manual Mill can handle both at the same time. Its dual design combines two separate chambers in a sleek space-saving device that has separate milling blades on each end. Dials on the end of each blade cap allow you to independently control the fineness and coarseness of each spice.

Spice mill design is very similar to the style of a pepper mill because essentially, they perform the same function. Choose from a manual or electric operation.

Die Beschaffenheit sehr harter Naturprodukte, wie es Nüsse sind, folgt jedoch nie Gesetzen, nach denen innovative Produktplaner an ihren Schreibtischen neue Hilfsmittel entwerfen, die uns Verbrauchern die Arbeit erleichtern sollen. Die von mir verwendete Muskatnuss wählte ich nach dem Zufallsprinzip aus. Meiner Einschätzung nach handelte es sich um eine Muskatnuss mittlerer Größe. Zwei bei mir im langjährigen Gebrauch vorhandene Muskatmühlen, die aber auch nicht ohne Mängel in ihrer Funktionalität sind, ziehe ich der Microplane Muskatmühle gern weiterhin vor. Das rechtfertigt sich für mich im Preis und in der Leistung und bei keiner meiner beiden Muskatmühlen muss ich so viel Kraft aufwenden, um überhaupt Mahlspäne zu bekommen, wie bei der Microplane-Muskatmühle. Für dieses letzte von mir nun auch ausprobierte neuartige Gerät, gibt es darum nur einen einzigen Stern und zwar für das Design. The Stainless Steel Microplane 2 in 1 Spice Mill is ideal for grinding whole hard spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.

So, why grind whole spices when ready-ground ones are easy to come by? Ready-ground spices lose their potency faster than whole spices – especially if they’ve been sitting in the cupboard for a while. Grinding whole spices only when you need them ensures you get more intense flavours and aromas, so your dishes will always taste their best. While there are no bells and whistles here—the grinder has one stainless steel bowl and a push-top on and off control—we think its simplicity is one of the things that adds to its appeal. Our tester noted that like similar models with a two-blade design, lightweight herbs tended to fly away from the blade area, resulting in an uneven grind. However, on heavier spices, like cloves and peppercorns, this machine worked really well. Just be sure to follow the suggested grinding times noted in the manual for optimum results.
