Since i have celiac disease my search for new grains have brought me to buckwheat, and oats as favorites, but rice and corn also are part of the mix that I enjoy milling in my new Mockmill. I just purchased the Kitchen Aid sifter weighing attachment and am hoping you can review that? Hope you will because I enjoy your reviews!😊
I just watched your video about the pros and cons of the Mockmill. What you fail to mention is that your cons apply to just about every electric portable home mill out there. I’ve owned a few of them and this is on the quieter side of the others. I don’t find that the grains come out excessively hot, but if this is an issue for you then freeze your gains before milling. Also, you should be milling only what you need for that individual bake so I can’t imagine you needing to mill for more than 2-3 minutes at a time.
Great video. We just purchased one today. Looking forward to adding a new level of health to the home. We have been plant based for a few years now and this will be a nice tool for that. Thanks.
Thanks for this. Just a couple of thoughts on your cons; you are grinding wheat so there is going to be some sound but the stone grinding mills are a lot quieter than the impact mills they compete with; you mention the flour warming up when milled but all grain milling the world over has heat as a byproduct, the Mockmill actually produces less heat than many other mills, the flour doesn’t lose any nutritional value from the slight heat generated, impact mills and commercial roller mills produce way more heat.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 🌾 It's great to hear your perspective on the noise level and heat production of the Mockmill 200 Grain Mill. You make some valid points about the differences between stone grinding mills and impact mills. It's true, every milling process generates some heat, but it's reassuring to know that the Mockmill is more efficient in keeping it minimal. Thanks for shedding light on these aspects! Happy milling!
Tip 1: Get the wooden version as it wouldn't resonate as much as the plastic version. Tip 2: When milling, get a dense (really dense) piece of rubber mat and place the mill on the mat. No resonance from cupboards and kitchen. Tip 3: Flour is one thing, but do grind your grains coarse and pour over your fresh fruit bowl.
@@alldayieatlikeashark I don't yet, but intend to. Then t'will be a 600W wooden mill, probably the Mockmill 200 Pro. Not cheap, but it is also a piece of art, reminding me of older times. I think I will use it quite a lot for coarse grains for fruit etc. That really gives you the taste of the grains directly. First time I experienced that was at Therme Vals in Switzerland, a hotel with a great kitchen and a thermal bath. And close to a magnificent network of narrow gauge railroads for great holidays.
So far, my favorite is Einkorn. When i got my mockmill last year they were out of Einkorn Berries at all the places I looked. But they are back in stock so I will get some when I can. Bread is so good with Einkorn, and it's already really good, ha
Tnx or the review. Curious if you have done an update review? Are you still happy with it. How often do you have to clean it out. Does flour or unmilled kernels fall into spaces does it attract bugs?
Hi There I have a Mock 2. Do you think it would be ok to grind egg shells to a flour. I have already ground the egg shells in a coffee grinder but they are still gritty. I love my grain mill and wouldn't want to grind something I'm not suppose to.
I think keeping the grains in the freezer will do more harm than good...as there would be moisture in the grain. In my opinion, the machine causes the grain to get warm because of friction.
did i miss it maybe? but he didn't mill anything... unless you count the 4 seconds in the beginning of the video. what about grind consistency? grind retention? sound he warns about? can you add water in the burs or wet ingredients like soaked rice? are the burs metal or stone? (this one could be answered in the vid). does it heat up a lot?
You mentioned that you have a dedicated spice grinder. I've never been successful with grinding cinnamon bark. Would you mind sharing what brand/ model spice grinder you use? Thank you!!! :)
Hello Sunny. I'm using KRUPS F203 Electric Spice and Coffee Grinder. Maybe this will help you. Just click the link to check it: www.amazon.com/dp/B00004SPEU/?ref=exp_alldayieat_dp_vv_d
@@alldayieatlikeashark Thanks so much for your response! :) Unfortunately, your model is no longer available on Amazon, but I will try the latest model of the Krups spice grinder. Thanks again!!!
You pronounce Red Fife.... with a hard "i" as in fire... or high.... Nice video... I have the same model you do! I keep the lid on when grinding otherwise the grain flies out. I saw another video where they compared grinders and the flour from the Mockmill wasn't as hot as another make. I pour the flour into my mixer as I am grinding. I weigh my grains before I mill them, so nothing is left over.
I wish you had ground some grains and showed a close up of the end product. I'm looking for a mill that will grind rice to make rice flour. Does the Mockmill make a super fine rice flour like Asian rice flour purchased from the store?
hi Christine, thank you for your suggestion. maybe next time I will do a review about that. yes! it can grain fine course rice flour. do you have a grain miller?
Is this true. The top range pro commercial model has a 2yr warranty only I think 🤔 and also has a fan hence how its continuous motor. Guess it depends on how much you use it.
Just received my Mockmill 100 and am concerned with the temperature of the flour. I tried 65F hard red berries and with my infrared thermometer registered 135F which seems too hot. When you are grinding your flour, is that how you would characterize it, almost too hot to touch? Do you freeze your grains? Just had my first 100% ground flour loaf and it was the most delicious bread I've made even though it was a little flat.
My favourite grains are whole wheat and rice flour, but my problem is that I bought from outside. I will like to make my own mill with my miller if I have one. Thanks
I have, the Vitamix cannot get nearly as fine. I wanted to try freshly ground grain before my Mockmill came and I ground, then sifted, then ground several times to get somewhat fine flour with a lot of... most of it was the coarseness of sand, some flour and some more coarse. The Mockmill is comparable to store bought flour.
1. Grind the barley to make flour and make super healthy chapatis from it 2. Boil it and mix it with other lentils to make Haleem (which is a famous dish where I come from) 3. Grind it and use the powder to mix with Sattu and create a healthy drink that aids in digestion and improves metabolism 🙂
I have one of these machines and love it except it keeps overheating. Iv tried milling my wheat coarse then working down to fine, Iv tried straight fine but I barely get 2 cups of flour before it switches itself off as it’s over heated. I really love the machine and want to work but I’m not getting enough flour to make anything, then I have to wait 2 hours for it to cool down. Any help would be appreciated
I just bought the Mok Mill 100 and have milled about 10 cups of hard red wheat with no problem. Maybe contact manufacturer - something seems wrong. Also it does warm the flour but not nearly as warm as the Wonder Mill.
@@carolbender4992 I have just been onto the phone to them, wonderful customer service, im going to try a couple of suggested things then will give him feed back but hopefully its just down to my grain not being dried enough at the mill i received it from xx
all day i eat like a shark I like cinnamon, walnuts, a little brown sugar and a little unsalted butter. Or just plain too w a little bit of milk and a couple slices banana.
This is the only time I e hear or read that someone thought it was loud and that it heated the flour. So I have to question the authenticity of this review.
You really have no clue about grain mills this mill is much quieter than the majority and heats up flour less also if you grind anything heat is produced whether it’s rocks or food. Do research before you make such judgment. Your evaluation is not correct in most of your points! Research more please you are very wrong here.
