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 any- thing which is moist, gummy or extremely hard (chocolate, nuts, whole nut- meg, 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 hard- ness 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 fom 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.
