Microplane Spice Mill Black for Nutmeg Cinnamon Tonka beans

Product Information

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. 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. 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.

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 If you don’t need the power of an electric grinder, but you still want an easy and effective way to add freshly ground spices to your dishes, the Kuhn Rikon Ratchet Grinder is one of the most user-friendly manual spice grinders on the market. This Swiss-designed model has a door on the front of its body that you can open and use to easily fill the spice chamber with one dried spice or a combination to create your own spice blend. 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.Probably 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. 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. Head’s up. This Spice Mill is only recommended for the hard spices listed above. It won’t work well on most other spices.*

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.

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. The functionality of the product will often be influenced by its price and vice versa. Hand-operated models can tend to offer a more minimal approach in terms of what they can do, while electric options will be more expensive. Soweit befand ich das alles in Ordnung und holte mir eine solche Nuss, um die Sache gleich auszuprobieren. 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.Takes about as much strength as using a mortar and pestle. And the mill works beautifully, leaving no wasted spices. Hard spices can be turned into fine powders. The Shardor Coffee and Spice Grinder was expertly designed to be the perfect multitasking tool. It comes with two stainless steel bowls. The first is a two-blade grinder bowl that handles dry items, like spices and coffee beans. The other is a four-blade chopper bowl that can wet-grind garlic and herbs, like basil, eliminating the need for manual mincing as you cook. Spice mill: Like the pestle and mortar, a spice mill is manual. These have a similar design to a pepper mill in that the device is hand-cranked and the ground spices come out of the bottom. They’re a great option if you’re looking to grind small amounts. Spice mills are not suitable for wet ingredients. 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. Das wird der Microplane Muskatmühle nicht passieren, da diese nach einem anderen Verschlussprinzip konzipiert wurde. Beim Mahlgutergebnis überzeugt mich allerdings meine ältere Muskatmühle mehr.

Key details – Dimensions: 6.18 x 6.18 x 21 cm (LWH); Electric: No; Colours available: 18 to choose from The Stainless Steel Microplane 2 in 1 Spice Mill is ideal for grinding whole hard spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.

The choice is mainly between a clear glass spice mill or a traditional wood finish. Grinding mechanisms use either super sharp stainless steel blades or ceramic cutting discs. The two-blade grinding bowl is meant for handling dried ingredients from herbs, like rosemary and thyme, to spices, like peppercorns and cardamom. Our tester noted that it created a fairly consistent, fine grind on most spices and worked beautifully to create enough freshly ground pepper for cacio e pepe in about 10 seconds. She noted that lightweight herbs like mint had a hard time staying down near the blade, so the results were less even, but these types of herbs generally don't need a super consistent grind. Preislich der Microplane Muskatmühle vergleichbar bei 24,95 Euro liegt heute eine andere, die ich vor einigen Jahren aber mal weitaus günstiger bei Tchibo erstand. Diese Mühle ist insgesamt etwas geringer an Höhe, hellfarben, im unteren Teil weiß und oben durchsichtig so, dass sich bereits darin befindliche Muskatnüsse gut erkennen lassen.

Spice mills can convert hard spices like nutmeg and cinnamon as well as salt and pepper. They can also be used to grind seeds and coffee beans so if you like cooking from scratch then a spice mill is an essential in your kitchen. 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. While it doesn’t offer the capacity or versatility of other models on this list, it’s a great all-rounder if you’re looking for a high-quality spice grinder to use with smaller quantities. Its award-winning design also means it can bring a certain aesthetic edge to any kitchen. This grinder isn’t dishwasher safe, but it does come with a five-year guarantee. Our tester liked that each end has an adjustable grinder, so you can select the desired fineness or coarseness of your spice. It's attractive enough to keep on the table for mealtimes or stash next to the stove to use while cooking. Designed to grate & store hard spices, such as nutmeg, cinnamon, Tonka bean, Indian long pepper,various nuts and many moreThe 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. Der Gesamtaufwand steht in keinem gutem Verhältnis zum Mahlergebnis und rechtfertigt dieser Muskatmühle weder Namen noch Leistung und Preis. Bestenfalls ist diese Mühle für etwas kleineres, körniges als auch im Härtegrad geringeres Mahlgut zu nutzen. Doch dafür kaufte ich die Mühle nicht, sondern ausschließlich für Muskatnüsse. The razor sharp grinding blades effortlessly grinds the spices for adding into cooking and recipes.
