The Incredible Versatility Of An Electric Herb Grinder

By Frank Morgan


Choosing which kitchen appliances to invest in can be quite a challenge. You need to think about how often you'll use a particular gadget and whether it will in fact simplify things for you. However, there is one appliance that is worth more than its weight in gold. You will never have to question whether buying an electric herb grinder was a good idea.

With fast-spinning blades not unlike those you find in a blender, an electric grinder can chop up almost anything. It's a breeze to clean after use too, because you just need to take a paper towel or a cloth and wipe the inside. Another advantage is that it saves you time because grinding something takes only a few seconds. If that still isn't enough to convince you, think about the incredible versatility of this little gadget.

As its name suggests, an herb grinder's primary use is chopping herbs into smaller pieces. It works best with dried herbs, which you can then use to add flavor to food or to add to tea or other drinks. If you want to give up tobacco and smoke herbal cigarettes instead, you'll find that it's much easier to roll your own if the herbs are finely chopped.

Spices lose their flavor over time when they are in powdered form. Serious cooks know that freshly ground spices are a much better option for aromatic meals. An electric grinder makes it a breeze to grind just enough for your needs and you can even turn hard-to-crush spices like cloves into powder.

If you have leftover, stale bread, simply grind it to make breadcrumbs that can form a coating for meat or vegetables. Cookies can be crushed to make crusts for pies and cheesecakes. You can also make small batches of special flours like buckwheat, lentil or almond flour.

A vastly superior cup of coffee is one made with freshly ground beans and your trusty grinder will help you with this. Use it also to turn ordinary sugar into powdered sugar so that you'll have the perfect confectionery to accompany your coffee. Furthermore, if you can only find a coarse version of your favorite salt, you can grind it at home until you get the texture you want.

Even if you don't like cooking, you will find that a good grinder can get your creative juices flowing. Add some finely ground herbs or flowers such as lavender, calendula or chamomile to homemade, all-natural cosmetics and deodorants. You may also want to add some taste and breath-freshening properties to a baking soda tooth powder by mixing in some powdered mint, anise or cloves.

The dried petals of flowers like roses will get a finer, less uneven texture if you take a few seconds to grind them a little. Even bits of paper in different colors can become a festive confetti. Add a sprinkling of potpourri or confetti to a gift bag for a creative, thoughtful touch.
