Would this work well for spices? Thanks.

I personally have not used it for spices. But you can vary the grind size to our choice so I don't see why not

Actually that is the best use! I grind cooking pepper, cinnamon,and nutmeg. The pieces just have to be coffee bean size or smaller.

I have not tried it on spices but I've thought about it. My guess is it would work fine as long as the material you are grinding is not much larger than a coffee bean. Coffee beans feed easily into the grinder and the mechanism pulls the beans down evenly so the grinding action is very smooth on coffee beans.

works well with average teas, not sure about spices. guess it depends on how finely they're ground. openings look to be 1-2mm wide. be careful with the pot, as it is extremely fragile. we've gone through 2 of them, and finally decided to go with an iron teapot,

I don't think coffee burr grinders are good for spices, for a couple of reasons. First, spices need to be ground much, much finer than coffee. Second, there's no easy way to clean the oils from one spice out of the grinder before doing a different spice. I think a spinning blade grinder is much more appropriate for spices. Or get a burr grinder that is made for spices (ie, a pepper mill), which has a finer burr.

Will depend on the size of the bottles, cans, etc. of your spices. Suggest that you draw a nine inch circle on paper and test it out, Leave space along the edge for the rim. Good luck.

I use mine for cooking vegetables, not just warming. As for adding Spices, it works fine. I haven't tried steaming meat and fish yet. I will have to try that. I see no reason it would not work.

Yes if you have big containers of spices. Don't know if you could do a double row of the average size bottles. I use it for larger items like vinegar, soy sauce, etc.

You can definitely grind some spices - I've used it for peppercorns and cloves without a problem. Haven't tried cardamon. I think the only problem would be the small top opening. The middle grinding piece does not come out (I suspect it WILL come out, but I think you would have to use a small wrench), so you have to fit your spices around the middle grinder, which would be a challenge with anything larger than cloves.

I think it would. I used it for thyme which is pretty delicate like parsley and cilantro.

Cheng-ann,I use mine for spices and what not, and haven't had any problems yet! Sometimes the spices tend to get a bit dry, but definitely no problems with bugs or staleness!Hope this helps,Alison

sorry have never bought those spices. I use mine to store a set of measuring cups. The 1 cup fits in perfect sideways.

It's a fairly good size. Too big for a minced spice -- unless you are looking to store A LOT of it.I use this to keep my kosher salt right next to my stove and prep area. The lid just sits atop the base so I'd be concerned that it might get knocked off easily in the fridge.Hope this helps!!

Yes it is a spice rack I'm sure you can use it for cans or jars if you need to but my mother-in-law uses it and it works out fantastically I'm actually going to purchase some for myself.

This blender should work for blending spices, however we always recommending adding some liquid the blender and not just blending dry products.

Hi Bridget! It fits 15 standard 12-15oz cans (5 on each tier). So you could definitely use it for your spice containers since they are smaller. Hope that helps!

The seeds spices would be fine. The cinnamon sticks, probably not. First of all, the length of the fill flap (the clear plastic section seen in the picture) isn't big enough to accommodate the length of the cinnamon stick. Also, I am not sure that the diameter of the sticks would fit into.the bottom of the grinding mechanism. I wouldn't hesitate to put anything the size of peppercorns or smaller through it, though.

Yes, this could work well for that purpose. Keep in mind the cup capacity of this appliance. You won't want to fill it to the top with your sauce. As long as you do that, you should be fine. I've been able to get smooth purees-- it's great for that.
