Will it grind corn cobs?

I doubt it. It is hand driven and has enough plastic parts that cobs would be tough for it to process.

good question, I would say you could if it was fresh boiled and fresh eaten as long as there's moisture for it to break down easy, but it does take a lot of elbow grease to grind up big stuff.

I have never tried it but I would think it would be hard on the handle. This is what the manual states about it "Some things, such as avocado pits, are surprisingly easy to green cycle. Some fibrous materials, such as corn husks, become entangled in the Shredder Cartridge and might be difficult to remove." Hope that helps you. I love my Green Cycler!

I don't believe it will. While it is well made, I am very reluctant to try corn cobs.

Yes it will. If you're interested in finding out specifically what the mill will and will not grind, please reference the web site: http://willitgrind.com

It is supposed to grind popcorn into corn meal. Seen it done. Popcorn is much smaller than feed kernel corn. Guess it depends what size corn you are trying to use.

Don't grind corn that isn't completely dry! It will gum up the motor and it can't be repaired if that happens.

No. You would need a finer grind. These are stone ground and very coarse. I like that for grits but they would not cook up in the time it would take for cornbread. You might could cook them first for cornbread but you would have to be very good at recreating recipes to pull that one off! Even then these are very coarse stone ground HOMINY which is a different variety of corn, so I am not sure how that would turn out for corn bread. Just buy organic blue cornmeal by Arrowhead Mills for cornbread. Non GMO and fabulous for that application. I use kefir instead of buttermilk and it raises nice for skillet corn bread. I never use sugar in my cornbread even if the recipe calls for it. No need. If someone wants sweet, they can put honey on it. With all that said these will cook up the best grits you will ever eat!

I have one of these excellent grinders and, yes, it can be used to grind sprouted grains. I works especially well on hard wheat also...

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

Yes it will fit all sizes of corn cobs. The larger diameter of the corn, the closer the cut will be to the cob. the cutter blades are about a 1/2 long. This "little" gadget works like great.

I haven't tried it with nuts or grains. I mostly used it to grind up cinnamon so far. But it should grind nuts.

yes it will grind nuts, be sure to have the plastic lid on since it will grind it as fine as you wish.

Apologies, but I have not even tried those items. I believe corn kernels would be way too big to fit in the 1.25" hopper opening. The driest grains do best as moisture makes the grinding parts turn gummy. I bet rice & tapioca would do well. I have ground Spelt, Kamut, & other wheats. For flax & teff, seeds like chia, I use my Krups coffee grinder. I do not eat corn, so am not familiar with grinding it, but I'm just thinking of the size of it & it is going to be too big to be ground by this grain grinder, in my estimation.

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.

As long as its dry sure it will...the key is the corn must be thoroughly dry. If it's not you will have a difficult time grinding the corn...the mill will constantly get clogged. I typically run my corn through twice...once at a course setting and then again at a fine setting so that we can make corn bread...seems to work better if you do this.

I don't know for sure for the corn of the cob, but I use it a lot with brauts which take about an hour to cook. I hope this answer will help.

This grinder is better for small grains. The larger stuff like corn or bean are too big and the teeth won't grab them to grind them up.

Of course it will do great. We even use it to grind whole chickens, bones and all, for dog food.

Yes,it will grind as fine as you want. If you have the tine and power it will liquefy.
