Can I use this in a grian mill to make cornmeal?

I don't know, but I think you use a different type of corn for cornmeal. I don't think pop corn is the right kind of corn, but again, I don't know for sure.

Yes you can, just like on a gas stove. I've been using corning amber cooking ware for over 30-years. I won't use any other kind of cooking utinsil.

I don't see why not, but not in large quantities.I got distracted and let my whole oats run in there longer than planned, and they were very close to flour.

I wouldn't think so?? I used it for wheat and it was left very course. I originally bought it to use as my only mill but it just didnt grind it fine enough so i bought an electric mill. I now have it stored for a back up.

Yes, it will do the job. That's what I used it for. It works OK on everything but dried corn. If you are planning on baking often, though, it can be tedious.

I would not use the mill to grind nuts due to the higher oil content. There would be caking inside the mill. Also, the opening inside the mill is too small for nuts to feed through

Absolutely, I don't see why it would have to be kept in an air-tight container. If you decide to use in a grinding mill, make sure you bake in the oven to remove moisture. Otherwise, it is too moist to grind.

Unfortunately no. This is a highly specialized grain mill, it does an awesome job of turning typical grains into flour, but cannot safely handle nuts or seeds because they are too oily, nor can it safely handle grains with too high a moisture content. The oats I grind are borderline too moist, so I always follow them up with nice hard dry rice.

I haven't used a food mill to reduce a dry food to a powder, but I don't think it would work. A food mill is for moist foods, I don't think it would do much if anything with something dry and light like dried greens. A food processor is probably your best bet.

My answer would be yes as that's what it is designed for. Best go to Corningwares site for further info if in doubt.

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.

It would grind much finer for sure, but since I do not eat wheat (we eat Gluten Free) I do not know for sure. I could go test it to see if it would make rice into granules (which I believe it would), to make cream of rice, only it started smoking yesterday, and shaving off plastic from some part inside and spitting the plastic shavings into the already ground flour. So now I am afraid to turn it on, and will be purchasing a new mill, but a different brand, for reasons already stated.

I understand that there is a way to "mill" or mill by sanding. I have not tried it but I believe it will work. You would actually be sanding rather than milling. Julio

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.

Yes because in a blender u might have to add water to mix the food well. In this food mill it doesn't matter how thick the food is, it will be ground well!

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 you can, I did it sometimes but I used it more to make a flour for ma home made bread :-)
