Microplane Spice Mill Black for Nutmeg Cinnamon Tonka beans

Product Information

I'm thrilled with the results as we can now keep our Red Long Pepper on the kitchen table right next to our regular pepper mill. We can now grind it fresh at the table, right when we need it.

We also liked that the product has a built-in storage area, giving you somewhere to keep ground spices until you need them. Measuring in at just over 11cm tall, it’s also incredibly unobtrusive, and can be easily stowed away in a kitchen drawer or cupboard until needed again. Nutmeg has a warm, spicy aroma and flavour perfect for both sweet and savoury dishes such as a classic béchamel sauce or any number of cakes and puddings. Caffeine devotees will love this multifunctional spice grinder, which can be used for coffee beans, as well as spices and nuts. We liked that it came with a clear lid, which makes peering into the bowl to monitor progress easy, especially if you’re eagerly awaiting that first cup of the day. It blitzed our coffee beans well and made short work of spices for a fruit crumble, too. It’s worth knowing that Salter recommends using it for dry ingredients only.

The Microplane Stainless Steel Spice Mill also contains an airtight compartment for storing whole spices for convenience.

Soweit ergäbe sich für mich zwar ein positives Ergebnis, das ich auf diese Weise zerkleinerte Muskatnuss zum Würzen von Speisen verwenden könnte, doch keinesfalls mit dem schon beschriebenen Aufwand an Kraft und wie sich unschwer daraus auch ergibt: an Zeit. 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. There are several great spice grinders out there, but the Secura Electric Coffee and Spice Grinder earned the best overall spot for a few reasons. One of the biggest is that it has two separate milling bowls: One for grinding dry ingredients and the other for chopping wet ingredients. The bowls also have measurement markings on the inside, so you can easily add what you need without using separate measuring spoons. This grinder includes a clear plastic cover that sits on top of the stainless steel bowl to keep ground ingredients from flying out as the blades spin.

It's attractive enough to keep on the table for mealtimes or stash next to the stove to use while cooking. If you have a smaller kitchen, it’s worth taking size into account. Unlike some kitchen appliances, spice grinders aren’t typically bulky gadgets, but you might still need to give it some thought if countertop room or storage space isn’t on your side. How much should I spend? You’re not limited to just salt and pepper, though. You can fill the chambers with any dried herbs or spices that are a staple in your kitchen for easy access to fresh grinding. 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.

The Stainless Steel Microplane 2 in 1 Spice Mill is ideal for grinding whole hard spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.

The design of this grinder makes it an excellent choice for anyone with manual dexterity problems, especially since, instead of pressing down on an on/off button, you can activate the motor by pushing down on the entire lid instead. Head’s up. This Spice Mill is only recommended for the hard spices listed above. It won’t work well on most other spices.*

If the spice mill has an integrated storage unit then this will affect the size. Generally, a good average to work to is around 14cm – smaller sizes are more popular. Design With many appliances, we often want to know their maximum capacity, but when it comes to spice grinders, minimum capacity is an important piece of information, too. If you're only planning to grind a teaspoon or so at a time, you'll want to make sure your grinder can manage such a small amount. It's also important to differentiate between a grinder you can use for larger spices such as nutmeg versus something finer like peppercorns or rosemary. The Microplane Spice Mill grinds hard spices like cinnamon and nutmeg to optimize the flavor of your cooking and baking. Designed for professional chefs and home cooks, our Spice Mill also features storage on the top where you can keep your whole spices! The Spice Mill should be hand washed, and disassembles for easy cleaning.
