hints

• For optimum performance when processing spices we recommend that you do not process more than 50g at a time in the mill.
  ● Whole spices retain their flavour for a much longer time than ground spices so it is best to grind a small quantity fresh at a time to retain the flavour.
• To release the maximum flavour and essential oils whole spices are best roasted prior to milling.
• Baby food/purees - allow cooked food to cool to room temperature before processing in the mill.
