How fine will this grind? I'm looking for something that will pretty much powder my seasonings or salt.

It is adjustable but may not grind anything to powder. Mostly medium to coarse grind. You must use heavy duty batteries such as Duracell for it to work.

It is course ground so you will need to get a salt shaker that is a grinder. We absolutely love ours! what great flavor from grinding as you go!

Although I love my mini processor I don't know if it would grind into powder. You might try a coffee bean grinder. I use that for my fresh nutmeg and the like.

Yes, this grinder should be able to handle the course pink Himalayan salt. I use mine for sea salt and Alaea Red Hawaiian Salt.

It's not going to grind a *chunk.* I would suggest putting the chunk in a thick plastic bag, take it outside and hit it with a hammer until it is fairly well ground up. Then put it in the mill. I grind coarse ground Celtic Sea Salt in it with no problems whatsoever. It does a great job.

It is a little difficult to refill. I use a small spoon to fill it up and place the container in a dish to stop making a mess on the kitchen table. I use it for pepper only and find the salt side is more difficult to grind.

Don't know for sure, but it does grind black pepper and sea salt to variances of fine, medium, and coarse.I would take a chance. Its an excellent auto grinder. We really like ours.

The inside of the bowl might show some very shallow circular lines from the manufacturing process, however they polish out fairly quickly with use. Before I bought it, one of the reviewers mentioned using a bit of sandpaper to smooth it out.It will grind anything, I love it. My sister has one too, and uses it to grind all manner of spices.

There is not a grind adjustment. The pepper is fairly coarse, but I like it that way. The salt is an average grind. There is no cap on the bottom, so they do "leak" a bit.

Yes. Very easy and several different grinding sizes. Best of all, you turn it upside down to grind, so salt isn't left on the table when you set it correct side up, which is the case with most grinders.

I have not tried to do that, but since they sell a separate salt grinder my best gas is that the grinding elements are different for salt from pepper Salt is a harder material. Spices might be okay, but I have never tried that.

If you broke them up into smaller pieces it might. I don't think it will grind them as fine as you'd want. It's not going to be powder.

The salt in not large enough for a grinder. They are fine flakes. I like this salt because it's less salty tasting.

Hello,Yes this model will deliver a little more salt/pepper per push as the grinding shaft does travel a longer distance. The difference is very slight though it will not be very noticeable. Best Regards,Eparé Team

I replaced this very grinder wirh a 2nd one and to mr GREAT disappointment, they changed it! It's awful and am niw going to purchase the Evico, which I've heard fabulous things about, including it's ability to grind spices and herbs into your fine powder. You can find and read about it on Amazon. Hope this helps. :-)

I use it to make shakes with ice cubes. Crushes the ice very well. I have also made home made dressings, grinds spices that are in oil well. I have not tried to grind a chile pepper though. Not sure how fine ground you need it though. I don't think it would pulverize it. There are two blades in the small container and three in the larger. I am very happy with it for my needs.

Get a coffee bean grinder for that. I got a cheap little white one from Amazon here: Proctor Silex E160BY Fresh Grind Coffee Grinder, White . Works beautifully. It will grind your spices into a powder if you leave it on for too long! Just be sure you use it for spices or dry herbs. Fresh herbs are too wet, and will clump up.
