Will it grind dried, whole kernel corn, into a very fine, flour-like consistency?

I've never tried corn. I just use it for whole grains, but it has many settings for the consistency of the flour you want. I was told that you can use it for everything except flax seed BC that is very oily. Hope that helps some!

Yes, it makes very nice cornmeal -- finer than what you can buy in the store, and much better flavored for cornbread.

Yes i have used it for cornmeal a couple times and did a fine flour texture too.

We purchased this for an emergency storage item. I use an electric grinder for every day use. I did a lot of research before purchasing this hand grinder and everything I read said this was a great grinder especially for the price. It will grind wheat into flour so I can only assume it will grind dried corn into flour as well as dried beans etc.

We have only ground dry grains and it does great job. Doubt it will grind wet corn as it will clump and clog the grinder blade.

No. The mill will do a great job of grinding dry goods. If you use anything that is not completely dry you will end up with a royal mess. Wet corn will cake to the grinding plates and will clog up the mechanism.

Yes it is dent corn. I also have a wheat grinder and I grind it in mine to make corn flour.

Well, a third of the corn will be meal, a third will be cracked, and a third will be whole kernels, plus there will be metal powder and fragments mixed in with it. I threw mine in the recycling bin, after trying a few modifications to fix the problems. I eventually bought a Monster Mill, but I had to make new eccentric adjustment knobs to get the gap wide enough for corn.

No. You could grind up corn for tortillas but that's about it. I use mine to grind grains for home brewing, so all I need it for is to knock the hulls off and break the grains up a little. For this purpose it works great.

No. It does not require grinding. the 10lb bag of 100% Whole Grain, Organic Sprouted Wheat flour is ground flour and ready to use. it makes fabulous bread in my bread maker.

Yes, I would think so. I have never tried other grains or seeds, but I grind wheat into a very fine flour, and rice is a similar grain. I have trouble telling the difference between flour ground on the coarse setting and flour ground on the fine setting. This mill will not make grits!

It can grind it to that texture. I don't think it can get as fine as flour though.

I have ground popcorn many times as slow as possible, on the finest settings possible. Sadly, I can't get it as fine as I would like. It's always what I would consider a coarse cornbread grind. Sure if I sifted it with various sizes of mesh screens, some of the milled product would be fine, just not enough. I'm thinking I might have to break it up first in a food processor to have more luck.

Yes, it will work with that grain. I was able to grind rice with it & it did a perfect job. However, just don't use millet, flax, or any other oily grain. The machine is unforgiving & will breakdown. I wish the company would address this issue. It's a good company. They replaced the first machine instantly. Thanks for asking. Nelson Donley, author of LIFE AIN'T KIND.

Hi there. I've only ground large-seeded white field corn. If I have a complaint, it's that the Wondermill grinds the corn too finely, and I have it set on coarse. I cannot tell you the rice will be the texture of flour, but I bet it would be very, very close. Good luck!On the topic of gluten intolerance, an acquaintance, Cathy Rehmeyer, has two children with celiac disease. She has a terrific blog, "Mother of a Hubbard," where she discusses it along with her efforts at winter gardening. Even during our terrible Kentucky winter, her low tunnel continues to produce. I'm going to try it this coming fall/winter. Hi there. I've only ground large-seeded white field corn.

Yes , you can. But make sure that the corn (or any other grain) you put for grinding should be very dry. You have to adjust the knob on mill for desired coarseness. I once made very coarse flour out of wheat berries for making sweet pudding.

It will grind it to a point. Not to flour consistency. Might work for what your looking to do.

No. It is designed to make "chops"--coarsely chopped grains. A high quality grain mill would be needed to make rice flour from (dry) rice. Update: I've read some answers which indicate this grinder will work for your purpose: rice to rice flour. Again, while this grinder is good for chops, it will NOT make a fine-granulation flour. Sorry.

I know it will grind popcorn, because I have done it. If the sweet corn is dried, I suspect it will. I got popcorn, because I could get organic popcorn, which is not GMO. The ground popcorn makes delicious corn bread. If the sweet corn is not dried, I would not try it.

I once tried to use my Corona Corn Mill to grind wheat fine enough to bake a small loaf. It did NOT work. I even tried to re-grind the resultant flour which was too coarse. I ran it through the mill at least three times. It still was not fine enough. I do NOT believe that it would work any better for rice. Sorry, Richard
