Heavy-duty motor; push-top lid for simple on/off control

Dishwasher-safe lid and bowl; instruction manual with recipes included

Equipped with a heavy-duty motor and specially designed stainless-steel blades, this electric grinder quickly and efficiently grinds spices and nuts. A pestle and mortar offers one way to turn thyme into powder, but sometimes it's nice just to get the job done without all the pounding and manual grinding. Simply add the spice to be ground--anything from peppercorns or cloves to flax, fennel, or mustard seeds--close the lid, and press down to start the grinding process. Or add walnuts, pecans, peanuts, or almonds and grind just the right amount of time for the perfect consistency and add to cookies, sweet breads, and other baked goods. The grinder's bowl holds up to 90 grams, and its storage lid allows for extra spices to be stored in the grinding bowl. Other highlights include nonslip rubber feet, a built-in safety interlock that prevents operation unless the lid's securely in place, and a sleek design that will nicely compliment any kitchen decor. For added convenience, the lid and removable stainless-steel bowl clean up easily by hand or in the dishwasher. An instruction manual with recipes comes included. The grinder measures 5 by 6 by 9 inches and carries an 18-month limited warranty.
This review is from: Cuisinart SG-10 Electric Spice-and-Nut GrinderI bought it specifically for grinding whole flax seed. It grinds it to perfection in seconds. Although I use it for other nuts too, which I am extremely happy with it all. It is a snap to use, and is super super easy to clean, takes up little space on the countertop. Note that not wanting the lid to become foggy (as some plastics do in high heat) I no longer use the drying/heat function on my dishwasher, so after going thru the cycle it comes out like new everytime. If you are the kind of person who likes to have the cords tucked into the appliance then you may be a little disappointed as the cord takes a little fiddling to get it coiled back into the housing unit. In my personal opinion I think this product is superb, and I would not hesitate to recommend it....
This review is from: Cuisinart SG-10 Electric Spice-and-Nut GrinderSo I'm a spice freak. I have more than a hundred spices in my pantry and like to grind my own spice mixes using whole spices. After breaking two coffee grinders trying to grind spices in them, I tried this little gem. I've had it for almost 6 months and it works wonderfully well! I've ground hard and soft spices in it and it breaks them all down in a few pulses. I've even used it to grind wet spices in small quantities with equal success. Pros:1. It works for both wet and dry spices.2. The cup and the lid can both be put in the dishwasher- no need to risk cutting your hands on the blade!3. The cup has an inner rubber lid that can be used to store spices in the cup if you want to (I never do, but still..)Cons:1. After grinding, there is always spice dust on the outer edge of the grinder and in the crevices that has to be cleaned.2. Because the lid itself is used to push down and grind, it does not fit securely on the body of the grinder when not in use. I'm always scared that the lid is going to fall off and break one day.All in all, I'm happy with the product and would purchase it again.Edited to add (08/01/10):After more than a year of regular use (bye bye warranty), the cup has jammed into the base and will not come off. The machine still works, but since the grinding base is jammed and the cup itself is loose, spinning around when you hold the lid down, you can't grind anything. So long, Cuisinart. It was good while it lasted....
This review is from: Cuisinart SG-10 Electric Spice-and-Nut GrinderThis spice grinder is exactly what I was looking for. It ground all my spices, even cinnamon and nutmeg, to a fine texture. I have a Cuisinart coffee grinder which I tried to grind spices, but it didn't grind spices as fine as I wanted. The lid did not "cloud" over like it does with some grinders when you grind some hard stuff in it (cinnamon, nutmeg)....
