Can you grind or mil seeds in this meat grinder?

U could if you wanted a large rough cut......but for seeds etc I would use a small food processor instead, or a coffee grinder.

No I don't think so . The holes are too big. You need one that is made for poppy seeds.

I got it to grind cardamom seeds. From other reviews I read before buying this one, this one seem to do the best with such seeds and at a reasonable price.

Possibly, but I would buy a meat grinder for that purpose. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=meat+grinder

I have only used it for course salt, but there is a burr on the bottom that tightens or loosens the grinding plate, so maybe small seeds are possible for it to grind. I know my salt comes out in very fine grains. Poppy sees are pretty tiny tho, so your guess is as good as mine.

My understanding is that there are different grades of stainless steel; they may not be food-quality. If you are consuming the food yourself, I suppose you could try it, but I would recommend finding sieves that are designed for food use. Edit: seeds may be fine, as long as they are not being consumed directly, and as long as the sieves aren't rusted at all. I am not particularly familiar with the effect of metals on plants but I would imagine as long as there is no long-term contact, it wouldn't be a problem.

I don't think so the space were you would put pepper or items to grind is very narrow so I don't think nuts or coffee beans would fit.

No. No coffee or spice grinder is designed to do that. Use a food processor, blender or immersion blender.

You maybe able to as long as the seeds are small. I grind course Celtic sea salt.

Not really, I have only used it for salt. First, make sure you filled the glass bowl with the seeds, and screwed the grinder top on tightly. Turn it upside down, with the glass bowl on top, and holding the base, turn the glass clockwise to activate the grinder. If you are doing all that, perhaps the seeds are oily and catching in the grinder? I use my Vitamix to grind flax, it works wonderfully.

I was able to grind Fennel Seeds with mine as well as coffee bean. I dont see any reason why it wont do the job with Caraway Seeds. Hope my experience with mine help you decide.

You definitely can. Turn the silver knobs clockwise and the grind size will decrease.

You could try. The grounds really get stuck in there. Mine died after a couple of years, but while it worked, it was a great grinder.

I think it would split the seeds. I tried using it to grind buckwheat: it ground the seeds but only crumbled the hulls. It did not grind the hulls into to powder. This mill has rows of metal grinding teeth just like a metal file. Seed hulls tend to slide between the teeth instead of being ground.

No. Most of all seeds are to oily and clogs up the mechanism. Better to use a coffee grinder for seeds

Yes, you have to grind the meat first. This is only a stuffer not a grinder. We used to use the grinder to also stuff but it is very time consuming, this is a great stuffer and fast.

Wow you know I have never heard of anyone wanting to grind nuts with a meat grinder, I would think you may try a couple of peace's of wax paper and a rolling pin. As for ease of cleaning, Yes it is. Try a Ninja machine.

I imagine you could. I just used them as is...but I don;t see why you couldn't grind them. Would just make the smaller.
