Hi Kids,
I have a couplo' questions about grinding and then sifting dried peppers.
I dehydrated a number of different chiles, then decided to grind them in my
chile designated coffee grinder.
My first question is, how do you manage to get flakes rather than mostly dust?
And, once ground, how do most of you sift and seperate the seeds from the
rest of the end product?
I basically wanted flakes and seeds to use like crushed peppers and then a
fine powder for vile carrying in small concealed places! I like the end
result but my powder could be finer and my flakes could be, well, flakier.
I did manage to stay far enough back when removing the coffee grinder lid
to not kill myself but that stuff stays in the air awhile!
Any suggestions?
