Guest guest Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 I'm assuming that we will be going GF, I'm just waiting for the results. I have a Whisper Mill grain mill. Will I have any use for it after going GF? It can mill millet, sorghum, buckwheat, and rice, but are those things easier to buy in flour form if we wouldn't be using them a whole lot? It can't grind anything wet/oily like nuts. I'm trying to decide if I should sell it (after I get my test results) or hang onto it for occasional use.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 That was my next question! LOL! It says the interior is self-cleaning. If it gets clogged, you're supposed to run some popping corn through it. I wonder if it that would clean all of the wheat out? Maybe I could grind something and send it to Heidi to see if she reacts. :-P Steph " If you've ground wheat with it, Steph, you're going to bump into a cross contamination issue. If it isn't possible to dismantle it and clean it, then I'd sell it and replace it. Probably not the answer you wanted, eh? :-/ --s " " From: " Steph " I have a Whisper Mill grain mill.

High heat would work, or a long sourdough soak <G>. My grinder is metal and comes apart completely, I don't know how whisper mills are constructed. However my grinder didn't work very well either ... I think stone wheels work better. The Arrowhead Mills folks do process wheat and corn in the same place and they donate the first 10 batches of corn to charity and only then sell to the public, and they do ELISA testing before they sell it. I don't recall if the grinders are the same though. Bob's Red Mill has two different facilities for grinding ... corn and wheat are done in one facility. I didn't know that, and ate their corn and was convinced I was allergic to corn too! Heidi Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GF community is attached at the brain, doncha know? > It says the interior is self-cleaning. If it gets clogged, you're supposed to run some popping corn through it. I wonder if it that would clean all of the wheat out? My K-tech is self-cleaning, too, but I can look into the teeth and see a certain amount of caked flour on the mechanisms that never really goes away. Unless you are able to dismantle the mill and completely scrub it, then it would be beyond my comfort level of salvagability. But understand that I take x-contam very seriously. YMMV.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 The last time I looked. I was told that only the indians make there own tortillas.I have a running search in e-bay but all I have found is artifact's the only real one I have found is in the gourmet sleuth for $400. I was told that country living is working on a set of plates to make peanut butter.. I might try to grind nixtamal with that. ________________________________ From: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
