I know that most folks use a spice grinder to grind spices and grinding mill,
but I wonder whether there's a particular brand/type that works better
than others. My main concern is that most spice grinders seem too big
for the relatively small amount of spices I typically grind.
Suggestions? Thanks.
Answer: I retired my old electric Spice Grinder and now use it solely for grinding mill or spices. Works well enough for me.
Answer:
My recommendation doesn't specifically answer your question about small
amounts, but I've found the KitchenAid blade coffee grinder is the
perfect spice grinder because it has a stainless steel cup with a
built-in blade that sits over the motor, and can go in the dishwasher or
be hand washed, so you can completely cleanse the blade, cup, and cover
between uses without having to worry about odors or flavors mixing,
grinding rice, etc.. And if you want to grind both coffee and spices, no
worries.
Answer: I got a mini Cuisinart for spices, herbs
etc. It's pretty old now but if they still have it or something similar,
you might consider it. It has a blade on a removable shaft which has
two sides. Inserted one way, the sharp edge of the blade cuts. Reversed,
the blunt edge of the blade crushes. So I use the sharp blade to chop
garlic and ginger which I do a lot. Then I can reverse the blade to chop
peppercorns coarsely. The container can be washed easily, unlike a
coffee grinder.
Answer: Two possibilities exist that do not require
any electricity. A small mortar and pestle is sometimes useful, but even
more simple is a chefs knife. Depending on what you're grinding you can
use the side of the knife (or a small pan for that matter) to crush the
spice and then for lack of a better description pinch and pull the
broken spices using the side of your knife across your cutting board
until they reach the desired consistancy. This does require a little
practice and a careful hand to avoid a mess all over the floor.
Any
bladed coffee grinder works fine for chopping spices. I use my Braun for
large quantity pepper grinding and flax seed. I have a mini Cuisinart,
but the blades lost their fine edge years ago so it generally bludgeons
rather than chops. Bludgeoning can be fine too....
Answer: You could
also do what I do to crack peppercorns - put them in a ziploc bag and
pound with the edge of a meat pounder (more effective than the flat
surface).
It depends on your definition of "small".
Answer: I use
a braun blade coffee grinder for medium to large spice grinding jobs.
For small jobs I use a small mortor and pestle. The Mill is pretty cheap
and if you use spices (or make cocktails that require grinding herbs)
it is a great investment. Having said that, the braun coffee grinder
does a good job on even small amounts of spices. Like I said, though, it
depends on your definition of small.
