Norpro Nut and Hard Spice Grinder - Premium Stainless Steel Mill for Nutmeg, Ginger, Rock Salt & Peppercorns - Perfect for Kitchen, Baking & Coffee Seasoning

I was SO excited to receive this item, plus the whole nutmegs that I had ordered separately to go with it. Be aware of a few things: 1) It takes a LOT of strength in your hands to assemble and use the grinder. I have fairly severe arthritis in some of my fingers, and it wasn't easy. 2) The whole nutmegs are quite large (at least the size of the end joint of your thumb) and VERY hard, and I found it works better to cut them in half and just put one half in the grinder at a time. 3) It DOES get better with a little practice! The scent of the freshly ground nutmeg is worth it. :0)I think this nutmeg grater is adorable, and the fact that it holds extra nutmegs while grating one into or over your egg nog or custard just blows my mind! This grater grates to a powdery-fine texture, almost as fine as corn starch. As a bonus, you can sharpen, or replace the blade altogether!This grinder was easy to like at first but on the 3rd or fourth time I went to use it, it broke in half and has never worked again. Useless!! A waste of mobeu!money!! Useles!!!@I love how easy it is to use, also ease of cleaning.Great gadget for whole spices. I use a lot of whole nutmeg so it’s the perfect grinder for me. Easy to handle, grinds smoothly.I do like this Grinder. Amazed at how smooth it is to use. I use it for nutmeg.Very easy to useLittle hard to put together but works great and stores extra nutmegs in grinder.
