For home use
The Mockmill is intended
for home use and quantities
appropriate to normal family
requirements. It is not designed
for commercial use in which
large quantities of grain are to
be milled.
Milling spices
The Mockmill easily handles
dried spices and seasonings,
including pepper, coriander,
cardamon, cinnamon, and more.
Please note that some spices,
such as cinnamon, may need
to be broken into pieces small
enough to feed into the Mockmill.
To flush the mill of the aroma
of milled spices, simply mill a
small amount of grain (such as
wheat) right away. Then use this
“flavored flour” to add aroma to
your baking or sauces!
Oily / fatty foods
Please refrain from milling nuts
or oily foods such as sesame,
flax, or poppy seeds. Even coffee
beans contain a great deal of
oil, which leaves a film on the
milling stones, rendering them
incabable of processing the
grain properly. Immediately
afterwards, clean the Mockmill
as described on page 9.
How to clean the milling
stones and milling chamber
Choose a coarse setting and mill
about half a cup of dry grain,
such as wheat. Move the lever
from coarse to fine and back
again while milling. Milling on
a very coarse setting, so that
the grains are just broken, will
quickly remove any film from the
milling stones. Use this cleaning
process right away when you
have included oilseeds in your
milling. For thoroughness the
grains can be passed repeatedly
through the Mockmill.
In severe cases, when a hard
film has built up on the stones,
it is advisable that a few slits be
cut into the film’s surface with a
sharp object, such as the tip of a
paring knife.
This creates a starting point for
the cleaning process.
