How small does it grind? How small does it grind eggshells?

It's no coffee grinder. The blades are about 3/16" apart, and thin items (rinds, potato peels, etc, may slip though without being shredded. Overall, it does a decent job breaking up eggshells, and you will have a mix of stuff that your compost pile should manage. Things I opt for a knife over the greencycler - the outer rind of watermelon (inner rind grinds ok, lemon/lime halves and wedges.

It is more trouble than it's worth to grind up things. You cannot leave your waste in the drawer for long, because it smells and attracts flies. Then you have to wash it and waste water. I use the drawer to collect my fruit and vegetable waste and carry it out every day. Any small container with lid would have done the job to collect green waste, but I got this Green Cycler as a gift.

It depends upon whether or not you have other things mixed in with the shells. All alone the egg shells are just smashed and broken into pieces that are still held together by the shell lining.If you have fruit peels, and apple cores, etc. they will help the egg shells stay a little longer and smoosh up a bit more. Nothing larger than ½ inch by ¼ inch for the most part and many pieces smaller.

It's more like chopping than grinding. Some stuff slips through the blades, some is cut into 1/4" pieces, and some is just mangled, but it does the job. I have not used it on eggshells. BTW, the mechanical parts are sturdy, but the plastic is not. The hinge on the lid broke almost immediately, and the handle to lift the grinding unit out of the housing broke in about 2 months. It's still useable, though.

It grinds to approximately dime size, and yes, it grinds eggshells. I grind a lot of broccoli stalks, and did cabbage lately, so it works well.

Yes, grinds very well. Grinds egg shells to fragments, I estimate them to be approx. 5mms.

it's way too small to grind coffee, you would have to use it several times to get a serving of coffee, I would definitely not recommend it for that

It grinds 3/8" to about 1/2" coffee beans into whatever dergee of powder you wish. It depends on how long you run it. I usually pulse the on off button to get better mixing of the grind.

Buy the larger one if possible, coffee grinds, fruit and vegetable peelings quickly fill this smaller version; when I need to replace this one, it will be with a larger model!

It grinds evenly. As with any grinder, just observe the fill limit. So far, we are very pleased. It's compact and sturdy.

It poaches eggs perfectly. We use it for this purpose one to two times a week. Medium or Large eggs work best.

Yes, the smallest setting to grind is 4...my husband and I grind that much to make 2 cups of coffee.

I only grind a couple of scoops at a time, but it would probably grind about a half cup at a time

It is relatively small -- 6" diameter and 1 1/2" deep. It is good for quinoa, however. in small quanities.

Not sure but it won't take much. This grinder kicks as s. Best one on the market in my opinion.

It's small. It measures 7 inches across, almost 13 inches straight across from tip of the handle to end of pan, and almost 3 inches tall. If stored with the lid on it is 5 inches tall from bottom to the tip of the lid handle. I like mine since I am single but keep in mind if you use X-Large eggs like I buy, it fills the cups up completely so when cooking you might experience a little spillage. Hope this helps.

Pan is very small. Not big enough for grilled cheese sandwich to fit. I use it to cook one egg that fits on a english muffin.

2.5 cups. This thing rocks. The steep sides keep stuff from hopping out while grinding. Plan on spending some time seasoning it before the first use.

Probably good for that small amount. I use this one only when I'm making Caesar Salad dressing. I grind minced garlic, anchovies, capers and then grainy mustard wit the seeds in this set. I only do about 1 tsp. of each at a time so I don't have to grind so hard. My H has larger hands and he finds it easier to grab the smaller end of the pestle and grind with the fat, round end. However, my hands have some stiffness from old gymnastic routines so I find it easier to grab the fatter, rounder end of the pestle and only use the smaller end to grind.

I bought this grinder just for that. Use the large grinding plate. The neck of the grinder is small so you may have to part out your chicken quarters.It grinds them up with out even slowing down. I can go through 20lbs of cut up chicken quarters in about 3 minutes with everything pre-cut. It will grind faster than you can feed it. I don't pre-freeze the quarters either and haven't had any problems grinding.

Well, I think that depends on how fine you want them. This will do very fine. I use a mini Cuinart depending on how fine I want nuts. Finish with something else for coarser nut pieces unless a regular nut (manual) grinder will work. Never done chicken. I would coarse grind with my Kidtchenaid.
