Blendtec 52-601-BHM Kitchen Mill 60-Ounce Electric Grain Mill Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Blendtec grain mill works wonderfully. It sounds like a jet engine, but all that power is harnessed into milling wheat into fine flour. After years of using a hand mill this is heaven!

Ideal for those seeking healthier, more wholesome food options, this electric grain mill will grind up to 24 cups of natural whole-grain flour in less then eight minutes. Choose from a variety of different grains like whole wheat, rye, oats, rice, buckwheat, millet, corn, soybeans, barley, and others. Simply add the grain (available at health-food stores or from bakery suppliers) to the mill pan, choose the desired speed by turning the dial, flip the switch to "on", and watch as fine flour falls into the 60-ounce transparent container below. The appliance offers all the benefits of an old stone mill, but without any gumming, jamming, or glazing.
Why mill whole-grain flour at home? Natural kernels of whole wheat contain 16 minerals, 10 essential vitamins, and at least 4 other vitamin factors generally found in bran and wheat germ. Whereas refined white flour, usually front and center on the grocery-store shelf, consists mostly of starch, a small amount of protein, and very little vitamins or minerals. Other types of commercially milled flour compromise full nutrition as well, in order to prolong the flour's shelf-life. Flour from freshly milled grains at home, however, not only offers enhanced health benefits and an easy way to increase natural fiber in one's diet, it also tastes delicious--whether making homemade flour tortillas, a warm loaf of bread, a birthday cake for a friend, or a batch of chocolate-chip cookies with the kids on a rainy day. Furthermore, the mill will pay for itself with the money saved by milling flour at home, baking homemade goods, and buying grain in bulk. In addition to its durable construction with high-quality materials, the mill provides solid-state electronics, a self-cleaning stainless-steel Micronetic milling chamber, a 10 amp direct-drive motor, permanent lubrication, and a design that won't overheat. Built to last, the compact grain mill measures approximately 9 by 9 by 10-1/2 inches and carries a limited lifetime warranty on the chamber and pan with a six-year limited warranty on the motor.

KitchenAid KGM Stand-Mixer Grain-Mill Attachment Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Grinds whole grain wheat into a nice fine flour for bread making. Works as advertised.
Dinged it a star because:
- limited to grinding 10 cups of flour during a session, then having to wait 45 minutes for the motor to cool. Instructions do not delineate between professional series mixers and smaller models so not sure if this is an issue for the bigger mixers.
- blades are steel - long term storage requires disassembly and coating blades with mineral oil to limit rust. Must clean initially before first use to avoid clogging
- housing is fairly substantial aluminum, hopper holds about three cups of berries. The housing does rock and roll a bit when you grind at the finest setting for flour in a single pass; nothing broke and I guess it would be ok, but seeing the deflection in that housing left me uncomfortable.
Bottom Line - ok for occasional use. Buy a dedicated device if you have 10 kids and make bread every day from fresh ground flour as I can't see this holding up to serious use for any length of time.

Enjoy the superior flavor of freshly ground baking ingredients with the help of this simple-to-use mixer attachment. Designed for use with KitchenAid stand mixers (sold separately), the all-metal mill attaches easily to the mixer's hub to quickly grind any low-moisture and low-oil grain--everything from wheat, corn, and oats to rice, buckwheat, barley, and millet. Choose from barely cracked to extra-fine consistencies--and several settings in between--to achieve the exact coarseness desired for each recipe. Best of all, just-ground grain imparts a rich, hearty taste and texture to foods, and it prevents the depletion of nutrients common with store-bought items. Great for those on gluten-free or other special diets, the unit also makes it fast and effortless to prepare delicious cracked-wheat bread, chunky cornmeal muffins, and other everyday staples for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The grain-mill attachment comes with a cleaning brush and measures approximately 8 by 4-2/5 by 8-1/5 inches.
