A coffee grinder to grind spices!
That's my little spice grinder. :) I must say, grinding whole spices is much better. Current smell of my grinder... cumin. Ah, a lovely scent.

Another item Alton Brown caused me to buy
I was watching the episode "Spice Capades" the other night and was reminded of yet another item Alton Brown has influenced me to buy.

IC.....oops sorry. :) Didn't mean to say that word again. MUHAHAHA
Nor for the grinder. Was I with you when you bought it? Can't remember. I was going to say I don't think I've ever eaten anything homemade with cumin in it, but then I remembered my mom's hotdog sauce. It's in there. So for that recipe, I would have say YUM!
That was my other coffee only grinder ;)
Here is a way I learned some years agos to clean the grinder that I use for spices.
I have small electric coffee-bean grinder that I reserve solely for spices and my home-dried herbs. I been using a Krups coffee grinder for the past 10 years or more.
Probably similar to yours…
After use, I tap the body of the grinder and dump the dregs, then I gently wipe with a barely damp cloth.
Then I grind two or three batches of plain inexpensive white rice to remove the remains of the spice that was ground. I find that this also effectively removes the aroma as well.
After I dispose of the last batch of ground rice, I wipe the cap and grinder interior with a slightly damp cloth (unplug FIRST please…)
Let the grinder air dry, et viola..!
You will have a clean, fresh grinder without residue or odors that are definitively not GE...!
Is it Cumin or Turmeric that smells like b.o.? I can never remember.
I did the same thing the first week of this month!
Did Alton actually make you buy that...??? LOL! We have the spice grinder, the coffee grinder, and the zombie grinder...LOL!
It is such a great feeling to grind your own spices...
