Can I use it to grind nutmeg and can I grind it fine?

In my experience...the answer would be NO...I tried to set this grinder to grind fine; if it's possible I sure couldn't figure out how to set this grinder on anything that would change it to grind salt crystals smaller at all..

I really don't know, I have only used it to cook on. It's easy to find either fine or coarse grind, though.

Yes, you be able to use it to grind seeds. The blades are close enough together to be used for that.

This grater is great, but you would have to watch your fingers to grate nutmeg with it. The little grater may be best for that.

No you can not grind nuts in this machine they have natural oils in them and will mess up the machine

Hi - Yes, I would say you can grind those items. There is a little black nozzle at the top of the grinder which allows you to grind coarse or fine. Hope that helps. It's a great grinder and I am hoping to order a few more soon. I like to have them for different sorts of salts and peppers.

I have used it to grind cashews to make a cashew-based dip and it worked fine but I have not used it for small seeds so can't tell you about that.

I do not know. There is a special container and blade to grind nuts. Go to the Vitamix website for the most accurate information. After investing in this item you do not want to jeopardize your investment through inappropriate use .

although I haven't tried it yet, I did do a lot of reading before I purchased it. It should grind nuts, grains, and dried beans. We purchased it for emergency use. I own an electric wheat grinder.

I don't know that it is specifically for nutmeg. The nutmeg graters usually have a little cage to protect your fingers. Having said that, it works on nutmeg, but watch your fingers.

I would not use this grinder to make nut butters. (I make my own nut butters all of the time, in my 14 c. Cuisinart Food processor, which does an amazing job. In my experience, you need at least a 7 cup food proc. to make any nut butter). This little grinder is not meant for the motor to be running for as long as it takes to make nut butter.

I used it to make pasteles, which is a traditional Puerto Rican holiday dish. It was capable of grinding bananas and other hard vegetables to a pasty consistency, so I guess it will work for the nut butters you mention.

It should be fine. Just don't let it run too long without anything to grind.

I haven't tried it with nuts but it could grind pepper to a fine powder with no problem at all.Your only concern is that when you grind nuts too much there comes a point were it turns into paste because of the natural oils like in peanut butte

The Cuisinart Stainless Steel Spice And Nut Grinder is advertised as capable of doing nut grinding. Does this work better or worse? The Cuisinart device looks like it is not heavy duty. But I'm guessing it will create nut butters.

40001 is only recommended for parmesan, zests and coconut. Perhaps some chocolate. Look forward and you´ll find a Microplane suitable for nutmeg. If you try to use this one for nutmeg, you will have its dust, but you´ll also damage the razor blade.

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.
