Thanks for sharing! Now that we’ve used it more this mill seems best for coarser grains, like corn. It needs run through too many times to be practical for making flour for baking
And you have 12 hands to help crank it .......some of my fondest memories of my childhood was cranking the old hand cranked ice cream churn, or the old hand crank meat grinder helping mama make hamburger from the cow we raised and processed....we never thought of it as work ...
I have that SAME one! I have the electric Nutri Mill, but I got the manual a few years ago for Christmas. I was so excited, if the power is out I still needed to be able to grind my grains for flour. Nancy that was an great gift!
I have a wonder mill and I run everything twice. Can you pull your table apart like you are adding or removing a leaf and attach it there? My husband made a little thing for me to attach mine too with a small chopping block-you may be able to attach a drill to it and use the power from the drill (that is what I do most of the time.)
Hey, just wanted to let you know, in case you haven't already figured out. I have this exact one, and this is a wet mill. It is not efficient for grinding wheat into flour, but its wonderful for grinding nixtamalized corn into masa for corn tortillas or making peanut butter!
This is awesome, thanks for sharing!! I've been considering getting a grain mill for my corn, and this seems like a good option. Question: where do you get your grain from? I'd really love to get whole wheat berries that aren't, like, $5/lb.
I will agree that unless you have time to sit and grind 4-5x it is not fine enough for flour. I would buy a more expensive one if you want bread making flours
That was my husband's idea too. It is a real workout to grind wheat kernels by hand!! Add a manual dough mixer to the process and you can cancel the gym membership!!! :)
Such a thoughtful gift and a good arm workout too! Lol! I feel your frustration on the laminate countertops, I have the same issue with my food mill fitting on mine! I have to do it on my kitchen table, which means removing the junk off the table and taking off the table cloth bc it gets messy, it’s annoying!
It's definitely a good workout Mill. Remember the pictures of the water wheels next to a river or rushing brook? Those were grain Mills back in the day before electricity. Lovely gift for making homemade bread with all the germ.
How exciting! I am sure you will make good use of the mill, and Sam may have to be appointed head flour miller with his muscles. I am sure the finished product will be very tasty and definitely a healthier choice.
I just got this one and looking for videos on how to use it I came across this video. I ran my grain thru 6-7 times.

Clamp a board to your counter with shop clamps, then attach your grinder to the board
Good idea!
Nice grain mill. Blessings dear

They really had fun trying it out!

If your table pulls apart for a leaf, you could probably pull the table apart and use the interior straight edge of the table for the mill.
Great idea!👍
Ohh that’s brilliant!

I have a hook up to free grain through a friend of a friend so not sure about prices 😬. I know a lot of people like Azure standard tho!
I'll look it up, thanks!
That looks like it would be fun to crank for about 60 seconds! You are going to have strong muscles!
Wonderful 💝 gift🙏🏻🙏🏻💕
I guess it needs a bit of man power 😅
❤❤
I’d like an update because that’s exactly what I was trying to find out is how fine could you get it. People on Amazon say it doesn’t get fine enough.

What a beautiful gesture Nancy. Bless you!
👍👍
What a wonderful gift !! At my age I would have my husband attach a drill to it lol. Love your videos ❤

What about your white enamel top cupboard? I have an antique table built very similar that I've attached to 🤷♀️
Tried that but the top didn’t pull out far enough 😕

I feel like all kitchen devices with a c clamp just need like 2 more centimeters!
Nice. That was a great gift Nancy. That will keep you in shape. Nice to have if you loose power.
Yes indeed!
We have attached similar grinders to a flat wooden chair.
Good idea!
Awesome addition and a great blessing!
Wonderful Video.
Thank you very much!
Grind twice to three times. Also you can screw it down to the cabinet top and that makes it more sturdy also
Good idea!

It will take some planning on your part to make this grinder work the way it should for you! I have no doubt you can figure it out!! Blessings.
How exciting! I am sure you will make good use of the mill, and Sam may have to be appointed head flour miller with his muscles. I am sure the finished product will be very tasty and definitely a healthier choice.
He could probably double my time 😂
What a nice gesture Nancy. This shows you that you have a lot of very generous subs. TFS 🥰👍
We are often blown away by the generosity of our viewers!
Sam may be able to attach a piece of wood to the base of the grinder and then use separate clamps to hold that wood to a surface.
Good idea!
That was nice of the viewer Nancy to send that to you,
It was!
