Yes, I have a friend who has been grinding cornmeal for years, by the way I have had my mill for around 15 yrs and it keeps on just keeps on grinding, Fantastic mill!!

It's harder than wheat for sure but doable. I run it though a couple of times. Once to 'crack' the corn and then again on a finer setting to make meal. I hope you have the power bar handle extender. This really adds to the ease of turning and grinding and is well worth the price! I have also found that the counter height makes a big difference in ease of grinding. For me higher is better. My hopper sits about chest high on me. No leaning over to grind� I use it every week and dearly love this machine!

Yes I have used it with out oil or butter, and it seems to work ok. I prefer to use some butter it seems to start popping sooner and more corn seems to pop for me.

As long as you grease or oil the empty sections that should be fine. Trust me though, you will want more after eating just one. We use to have alot of cornbread left over when we made it in our normal iron skillet. This wedge pan makes it so much better.

Haven't tried to grind corn. I get a bit of "flour" when I grind wheat and barley for brewing beer. The gap is set to 0.003" with a feeler gauge (from an auto parts shop). I assume you could crank the gap down to where you'd get a flour-like result from corn, or at least a fine corn meal. The only problem I would foresee is that the upper gap may be too large to grab a corn kernel.

I have not done it myself, but you should be able to. The manual says it is fine. I have no trouble with wheat berries or dent corn, so rice should be no problem.

I haven't tried that, but I kind of doubt it. There are three holes for material to dispense onto the impeller. There's a short steel rod that spins around to agitate the material, located about 1/2" over the plane of the holes. The holes themselves are about 7/8" dia. Unless the corn consists of very small kernels, I suspect that it would jam. OTOH, if that's all you want to use it for, I think you could enlarge the holes easily to about 1" and still have it work with the existing shutter. The shutter has molded holes in it about 1" dia that can't be enlarged without weakening it to the point of assured failure. I haven't tried that, but I kind of doubt it.

It would be possible to use this for tamales and corn cakes, though Bob's Red Mill Cornmeal would be the best option for your recipes ~ Appalachian Organics

Absolutely !!! I do it all the time. One of my favorites is left over Bar-b-Q ribs. As a matter of fact I now cook additional ribs to make sure I have some on hand for a quick meal. I use the 4.5 mil bags . The can be used over if you want to be real "thrifty". Try this trick >>> 3 ears of shucked corn on the cob, butter and salt & pepper. Seal and freeze. When you want corn on the cob, throw the bag in boiling water and boil for the same time you would normally. The corn has much more flavor because you are not filling your house with corn aroma steam.

We have used the corn auger, but only for dried corn. I'm not sure it would put wet corn through cleanly without clumping.

I have not tried that as yet and I am not quite sure how long it would take to cook it. I use a microwave steamer to cook corn on the cob. That method takes only five minutes and the corn is perfect and delicious. Each ear takes only half a teaspoon of water and there is no loss of flavor or food value as happens when corn is boiled in a pot.

It's best to preheat with oven. Remember to sprinkle corn meal on when preheating. Just lightly cover the stone.

Yes it will grind corn kernels into corn meal. I can't speak to the moisture contnetmportionofmthe question becaus simply bought the corn kernels at my local grocer.

No, put salt in with oil as you are popping the corn. Use about 1/2 a tablespoon.There are no directions on container. We just experimented.

Don't recall any recipes. If you spray it with the baker's nonstick spray, and do not overfill them, you should get excellent results. I've made little cornbreads, and cakelets - both from boxed mixes. They were delicious and delightful!

No corn bread recipe was included. However my basic recipe works well. Just make sure to use cooking spray to prevent bread from sticking to the pan.

I always use cornmeall. This seems to work for me, so perhaps give it a try.

I just pour cornbread batter in the triangles. Even if some falls into a different triangle, it still works fine since it is a non-stick surface. I've yet to cook a stiff substance such as scones.
