Will it work with grits and oatmeal?

Yea, of course... But "work" is a relative term with this product... If by "work" you mean break then yes.

Yes, I believe you could put almost any dry food in these containers. The wheel attached to the dispenser knob is made of thick but slightly flexible rubber that stays flush to the sides of the container as it turns, so even finely ground foods won't fall out (except the portion you want to dispense), and the contents remain relatively air-tight. I have stored nut flour in mine.

I don't think so. They are too small and would fall through to easy. I don't think anything smaller than a popcorn kernel will work.

Yes, but remember it will tumble for weeks at the various grits. And it will survive. This unit is a BEAST. Just runs and runs. You can count on it to perform.

I'm not sure about oat groats, though I can say definitively that when grinding corn it must be completely dry or it will gum up the mill...hope this helps.

It will grind it to a point. Not to flour consistency. Might work for what your looking to do.

I haven't tried this but I am reluctant to suggest it. I use a limited amount of oat fiber in my recipes and mix it with other flours.

I think it should work for soup, but I never tried that. It's a good idea. It just didn't work for oatmeal.

I am sure the feeder would work for oats. I used the one we have for corn and it worked with no problem. I like it that it is adjustable for the amount of time you want the feeder to distribute the grain and it can be programmed to operate four times a day.

Yes, it will work. However, the Accolade series was built with the plastic transmission cover that so many owners have complained about and the grain mill does give the mixer a workout. You might want to contact Kitchenaid to see what they recommend.

I just made a huge batch of thick oatmeal cookies and it worked great. I don't know about bread but I would not suggest it since it does not work with the dough hook, just the cookie paddles and wire whips.

I honestly wouldn't recommend trying something like this because the thing was designed as a grain mill and the clean up would be a royal pain. It *might* work once or twice but after that, seeing as it is a grinding *stone*, it is highly unlikely the mill would be good for anything after that.

Depending on the grains you want to grind, this should work for what you want. I use it to grind various grains for a 10 grain bread which provides a nice crunchy texture and not just for fine flour. You can't use the grinder for oily grains (Hops?) as the oil will clog the grinder.

Unfortunately no. This is a highly specialized grain mill, it does an awesome job of turning typical grains into flour, but cannot safely handle nuts or seeds because they are too oily, nor can it safely handle grains with too high a moisture content. The oats I grind are borderline too moist, so I always follow them up with nice hard dry rice.

It should work. I use it with a blender and coffee grinder all the time and have had no problems.

We have made a corn meal similar in size and consistency of store bought. But otherwise haven't used it for cracked oats or wheat. I believe it would work well.

Hi Kang ... Yes, I make porridge (actually steel cut oats) almost every morning in this rice maker. I also make grits and much more since it's nice that all is automatic and I have no worries once I hit the 'start' button. ENJOY! Chris P

I have not used this product for cooking oatmeal, but if the owners manual says you can so that, it would be worth giving it a try. I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I have not used it for those items. However, Sorby make attachments for knives and special grits for them and I see no reason it would not be great. My primarily us it on wood turning tools and I am very pleased.
