What would a coffee grinder do?
Everyone knows that this simple household appliance is designed for grinding coffee beans. And if you don't know, the instructions for the grinder will remind you of this. But it turns out that with its help you can do a lot of useful things in the household and also save a lot. But it's not just about saving money. The simplest example: powdered sugar was urgently needed for some sweet dish. It's late evening outside, and the household members who are tired from the day don't want to go to the store at all. And there are many such examples.
Sometimes the simplest things pass by attention. Everyone is used to the fact that powdered sugar, ground spices, and much more can be purchased at the store without any hassle, and they don't even think about how to cook them themselves. In many cases, buying them ready-made is not only expensive, but also not very convenient. You don't want to go to the store for just one little thing, do you? So you'll have to make do with soup without greens.
Use an old or cheap grinder with maximum efficiency.
Our story should begin with the fact that all the "additional" ways of using the grinder are not provided by the manufacturers and theoretically can lead to its failure. But that's the theory. In practice, a coffee grinder that is actively used "not quite for its intended purpose" can last for many years. Although it may fail at the very first minute. The latter happens infrequently. All these cautionary arguments lead to the fact that you should not use an expensive new coffee grinder for additional tasks. An old one that has been lying on the topmost shelf for years will do, which is a pity to throw away and you don't want to use it. You can specially buy a cheap coffee grinder.
The fact is that, as you know, a coffee grinder cannot be washed, but only wiped. This means that the smell of the ingredients you grind will somehow remain in the coffee grinder at least a little bit and can spoil the wonderful moments when you enjoy your favorite fragrant hot drink.
First, look at the instructions for the grinder. It says how many seconds you can keep it on at a time. It usually takes 30 to 40 seconds. In most cases, this is quite enough to grind what is generally amenable to grinding in such a simple "mill".
Powdered sugar, small grains and spices
Perhaps someone in your family likes homogeneous porridges. Rice, buckwheat, corn, oatmeal, but the consistency resembles semolina. Such ground cereals can be found in the store. But you can also cook it yourself.
Just pour the cereal into the "bowl" of the grinder and turn on the device. In half a minute you will have fine grain or coarse flour. Call it what you want, but the essence is clear — you can make porridge from this cereal flour.
We return to the powdered sugar. You don't have to buy it in a store, but you can make it in a coffee grinder.
If you prefer tea instead of coffee, then it is quite possible that you dry orange and tangerine peels to add them to the tea leaves. With them, the seagulls are so fragrant and fragrant, and in the midst of the harshest winter, it smells comfortably of the tropics and warmth.
Cut well-dried citrus crusts into small pieces. Pour them into the "bowl" of the coffee grinder and, as always, turn on the device. If the crusts are dry enough, then the first time you get a citrus "powder". If you need to turn on the device again, let it rest for at least a couple of minutes before doing so.
Fruits dried in an electric dryer are ground in the same way. Provided that they have dried to the state of crispy "chips". Nothing will work with elastic dried fruits, you can only stain or even ruin the coffee grinder.
The same applies to dried herbs — dill, parsley, basil, cilantro. It's always a good idea to have a small supply of ground greens to quickly add to a soup or roast.
The sea in the bathtub
Many people like to take sea baths at home. Sea salt sold in pharmacies and household goods stores is quite large and does not always dissolve quickly in water. But there is an easy way out. And again, the coffee grinder is an indispensable assistant in many household chores.
Pour sea salt into the "bowl" of the coffee grinder and turn on the device. You'll get fine sea salt. Don't forget that it's not food grade. Now add it to a tub of water or a bucket at the cottage and take sea treatments. It will dissolve quickly enough, not only in hot, but also in slightly lukewarm water. รหัสโปรโมชั่น1xbet) :
