Microplane Spice Mill Black for Nutmeg Cinnamon Tonka beans

Product Information

The Microplane Spice Mill is a manual spice grinder that 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. 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. For Long Pepper, and Nutmeg, this mill is much more effective than a mortar and pestle. Practical and safe, too. 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 Microplane Spice Mill also contains an airtight compartment for storing whole spices for convenience.

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.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. Electric spice grinders typically work by using a spinning blade to pulverize whole spices and herbs into powder. Manual grinders use a ceramic or metal (usually carbon or stainless steel) mechanism to crush spices, salt, and pepper to the desired grind. 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. 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. 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.

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.

Das wird der Microplane Muskatmühle nicht passieren, da diese nach einem anderen Verschlussprinzip konzipiert wurde. Beim Mahlgutergebnis überzeugt mich allerdings meine ältere Muskatmühle mehr. The key is the super sharp, stainless steel Microplane rasp on the bottom of the mill. The blade has 128 razor sharp, stainless steel teeth to help pulverize the hardest 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. 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? 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.

Instead, use a traditional mortar and pestle to crush these spices into a fine powder. What to Look For in a Spice Grinder Capacity
