Cuisinart SG-10 Electric Spice-and-Nut Grinder, Stainless/Black, Mini

So easy to use! And super quiet! I purchased to work with bacon. My husband who is 80 now cannot chew bacon and this allows me to mix in his eggs. I love it.

Recommended by WireCutter. It’s powerful motor mix quick work of finely grinding spices. Plus, will the top and bottom can be taken off and washed in the sink, making it really easy to keep clean.

This is great for grinding all my dry items like flax seeds, nuts to make flour, etc. I have not tried "wet" ingredients so can't comment on leakage from those items. It's so easy to clean as you just remove the cup and wash. A couple of minor criticisms: 1) The design of the bottom of the cup because there's a hole to attach to the base is sometimes difficult to dry thoroughly even if air-drying. Water gets trapped in there. 2) the blade where it is attached is a little "jiggly". I'm not sure if that's by design but it makes me wonder how long this will last if it's not by design.

I use this for nuts. Pecans it does a wonderful job. Macadamia nuts are a different story. They are so high in fat that this device makes it into almost a butter. I have to use a small amount at a time to avoid this. Not an issue with the device, just the nature of the nut. Took a star away for poor cleanability. Cannot take the cup apart so bought a brush to get under the blade. Really is a poor sanitary design and Cuisinart knows better than this. No way to clean between the blade and the housing.

good product

I'll add my own experiences, but encourage you also to read the reviews left by Sayrah (jan 21, 2023) & Taylor Lee (Nov. 12 2022). They are both 100% correctIn no particular order:The grinding blade arrived very loose. This apparently is "normal", but supposed to snug up when installing the cup into the grinding base. Mine still has a good deal of lateral and vertical play even when installed. This has caused any liquids or oils to leak out into the grinding base.The provided recipes do not seem to be appropriate for the spice mill. I tried making Tahini (a precursor to the Hummus recipe), and there is so much 'dead space' beneath the blades that about half of my ingredients were left whole. I had to dig things our and move them around with a chopstick to try and get them incorporated. very inconvenient.The hummus recipe also cannot be right. The grinder has a stated max capacity of 1/4 cup, yet the recipe states add 19oz of chick peas, 2 Tbs of lemon juice, 3 Tbs of Tahini, 1/3 - 1/2 cup of olive oil, plus the spices. It cannot fit. It also said to add the oil through 'the feed tube', which is not a part of this device. this recipe must have been copied from a food processor. It's the only way this makes sense. I gave it a shot to see what would happen and, unsurprisingly, the grinder wasn't able to mix the full quantity. The motor overheated before it was finished. This might sound like operator error, but it is what the recipe said to do.Other things that need improvement:- In the first day of use, the plastic grinding lid has become pitted from whatever hard spices I've ground. How much plastic is making it into my spice mixes?- The plastic lid has 90 degree angles where it fits over the cup. Fine powder gets stuck here and is very difficult to remove- The inside base of the stainless steel grinding is not stainless steel. It has a central cutout where the blade pokes through and that is made of plastic. More places to wear down, shed plastic, and provide crevices for spices to embed.Very disappointed in this grinder. Definitely heed the other 1- and 2-star reviews.

Excelente, fácil de usar y de lavar.
