product spotlight: nutrimills

Jun 2, 2009

I am a retailer with Pleasant Hill Grain and there is a special right now on Nutrimills. They are $239.99 until July 4th! They are normally $269.99, so this is a great savings. You can grind wheat (both hard and soft), whole oat groats, rice, triticale, kamut, spelt, dried pinto beans, popcorn, split peas, buckwheat, barley, rye, millet, sorghum, dried mung beans and soybeans. (The Nutrimill isn’t suitable for herbs, spices, tapioca pearls, oilseeds like flax or sesame, nuts, coffee or anything excessively oil, wet or stringy.) Here is some information about the mill:

* Super fine OR coarse flour, your choice! The Nutrimill uses a high speed impact chamber to create flour from grains and beans, a well-proven milling method. But the Nutrimill has raised the bar for grain mills with new features and abilities users have asked for — a combination of features found in no other mill. The first of these is the ability to grind super fine flour (much finer than any other impact mill) and also adjust to produce the coarser flour grind you need for perfect corn breads. Its impact grain milling heads mean you’ll have no stone glazing. Nutrimill has a 400% range of adjustment from fine to coarse, ten times greater than other mills! This grain mill turns out terrific flour, quickly and easily.

* Great Capacity: The award for largest-capacity modern grain mill belongs to the Nutrimill, which allows you to grind up to 20 cups of flour at one time! The Nutrimill’s grain hopper and flour bin are perfectly matched: Fill with grain once, and get 20 cups of flour (or you can do any smaller amount.)

* Convenient, Powerful & Fast: Just pour grain in the hopper, turn the Nutrimill on, and its powerful 12 amp, 1-3/4 hp motor does the rest, quickly producing your choice of fine, medium or coarse flour. Nutrimill’s impact grinding mechanism is self cleaning, and Nutrimill operates dust-free — so making flour won’t mean extra housecleaning later! Easy-grip handles and light weight make the Nutrimill very easy to handle.

* Multi Grain & Bean Milling: The versatile Nutrimill grinds wheat (both hard and soft), oat groats (dehulled oats), rice, triticale, kamut, spelt, dried pinto beans, popcorn, dried sweet corn, split peas, buckwheat, barley, rye, millet, teff, quinoa, amaranth, sorghum, dried mung beans, chopped chestnuts and soybeans. (The Nutrimill isn’t suitable for herbs, spices, oilseeds like flax, or fibrous materials. Grains and beans that have already been milled cannot be milled again in any impact mill, including the Nutrimill. Also note that when set for coarser “meal” texture, the Nutrimill’s output remains too fine for making “cereal grinds.”) The Nutrimill is an outstanding machine for making a full range of flour and meal textures.

* Trouble-Free: The new design of the Nutrimill’s impact chamber allows you to put grain into the hopper before you turn it on with no risk of plugging the mill (something which happens with other grain mills.) Even if you stop it while it’s milling, the Nutrimill will restart again with no trouble… a big advantage!

* Protects Nutrients: Nutrimill keeps your flour at temperatures (typically about 118° in our testing) that protect the nutrients in your grains. Its new airflow design make the Nutrimill the world’s coolest-running impact mill.

* Quiet: The Nutrimill’s maker (Kitchen Resource of SLC, Utah) calls the Nutrimill the world’s quietest impact mill, based on measurement with a decibel meter. The Whisper Mill was a popular mill when the Nutrimill first came out, and some people considered the Whisper Mill to be quieter. When we ran them side by side and asked several people what they thought, opinions varied. We think that’s because everyone’s ears perceive various sound pitches differently, and the two mills do have slightly different pitches. Our opinion is that there isn’t enough difference to shake a stick at. Both sound like vacuum cleaners and are far quieter than the earlier “first generation” impact mills.

* Easy to Store: Nutrimill’s trim design fits into your kitchen easily. Keep it on your countertop for instant access, or store it — either way, with an 11.5″ storage height and 11″ x 13″ footprint, the Nutrimill stores compactly.

* Lifetime Manufacturer’s Warranty: This great warranty includes the Nutrimill’s stainless steel milling heads!
The Nutrimill is made in Korea by Kitchen Resource of Salt Lake City, Utah.
