Hi folks delurking with a question here:
All this talk of spice mills, coffee mills, and the cross contamination of
coffee and cumin....
Makes me wonder whatever happened to the mortar and pestle? :-D
I use one daily to grind my spices as I too enjoy the flavor of fresh
ground seasoning. By using my motar and pestle I can use only what's
required for the recipe, have no waste, and never have a crossover of
flavors to worry about. There is an added bonus as well, in that there is
no motor to burn out! ;)
BTW, has anyone here ever tried lightly toasting their cumin before
grinding it? It has the most wonderful flavor when you do. I read about
it in a magazine, tried it and will never go back to UNtoasted cumin again!
