Herbs and Spices
Herbs and spices take on a fresh, more flavourful taste when freshly ground.
Dried herbs can be combined and ground for a few seconds giving them move
flavour. Peppercorns, when freshly ground, taste totally different from canned
pre-ground pepper. Spices such as allspice, cardamom, celery seed, mustard
seed & coriander seed grind very well.
Not Recommended
The Grinder will grind most dry or brittle substances. It WILL NOT grind
anything which is moist, gummy or extremely hard (chocolate, nuts, whole
nutmeg, candied ginger, etc. ). It will not make pastes of any kind from seeds
such as sunflower or sesame.
Grinding cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg is not advised as the oils and hardness
can cause the plastic lid to pitt, discolor or crack. Grains such as corn, wheat,
rice barley and rye may also cause damage to the Lid. Chopping, mincing or
pureeing of soft foods is not recommended.
HELPFUL HINTS
1. Do not operate this appliance for longer than 1 minute at a time as this
could cause overheating. Allow to cool for at least a few minutes after
each use. Allow the appliance to cool down for 10 – 15 minutes after 1
minute of continuous use.
2. Do not force when the blade stalls as there could be a foreign substance
wedged in the blade. Turn the appliance off, UNPLUG from the wall
outlet and follow the instructions in the Before First Use section.
3. For best flavour, store coffee beans in an airtight container.
4. Grind coffee beans immediately before brewing.
5. The strength of the coffee depends on the grind fineness and the amount
of coffee grounds. The finer the coffee grinds and the more ground
coffee that is used, the stronger the taste.
6. Coffee flavour and strength is a personal preference. Vary the type of
coffee beans, the amount of coffee and the fineness of the grind to find
the flavour you prefer.
