We looked at little spice grinders, but they were all "use" grinding
only. In that I mean, you ground whatever spice was in the grinder when
you need a *little* to add to whatever you were eating/cooking. Nothing
like we want where you'd grind up a *batch* o'the poweder. Know what I
mean?
We're going to give the blender a try and see if that will powder stuff
up to the powdery consistancy we want - you know, make it powdery and
not bits o'stuff.
If that doesn't work, we may invest in a coffee grinder only for
peppers, but again, we're afraid the grind will not be fine enuff.
Have read much here about blenders and grinders, but I don't think I've
seen any name brands. Nor has anyone said if the stuff ground comes out
like *powder* vs. flakes/bits?
Does using a blender work? A grinder? To get powders? Or must one
forego a true powder in order to have as much as they want when they
want????
Thanks!
