CAN I GRIND PEPPERS CORNS IN THIS GRINDER

no, it's a very delicate tool that even has issues grinding salt that is too hard.

I believe so. I received a set; one for salt and one for pepper. I didn't notice a difference between the two.

I cannot adjust this to get the salt small enough. It almost pours out without much reduction in size. Cannot imagine it would do a good job with peppercorns.

You probably could, but the grinder is pretty small, and I'm not sure it is strong enough to do peppercorns for very long. I bought it for a strange reason. My wife and I like Outback, and Outback has salt and pepper grinders that are pretty small. My left hand does not grip well, so I bought this to put in my wife's purse for when we went to Outback (I do use it at home also for pink Himalayan salt). However last week they closed our Outback here in Yuma AZ. I'm bummed! By the way, mine works great for the salt. It comes out VERY fine and powdery.

I have never tried it, but if it grinds the pepper which is very hard, I'm sure it will have no problem grinding cilantro seeds

No. The mill will do a great job of grinding dry goods. If you use anything that is not completely dry you will end up with a royal mess. Wet corn will cake to the grinding plates and will clog up the mechanism.

It will not grind anything with moisture, so nuts are not a possibility. It will ruin the grinder

The most common use requires a 'pepper mill' to grind the corns to a granular consistency. Some recipes call for whole peppercorns for flavoring. They are nor usually eaten raw and whole.

Yes, you can take the removable chamber off to grind pepper over whatever you would put ground pepper on. I you need to grind larger amounts for a recipe, the pepper particles do fall into the removable chamber.

This grinder is better for small grains. The larger stuff like corn or bean are too big and the teeth won't grab them to grind them up.

I have not tried to do that, but since they sell a separate salt grinder my best gas is that the grinding elements are different for salt from pepper Salt is a harder material. Spices might be okay, but I have never tried that.

I do not know. My pepper grinder is inoperable. You can call the people at Kaloric for assistance..there is an engineer on staff, who may be able to tell you.

I would not think so. It's a lousy pepper grinder; grinds well, but is sometimes impossible to stop. The switch sticks at "on." I'd try something else, perhaps the Cuisinart Miniblender. Great for small processing tasks like pesto, and for grinding spices. For the latter, though, I usually use a ceramic mortar and pestle. Oddly satisfying to grind away with a bit of elbow grease.

I've only used pepper corns and haven't tried to adjust it ... sorry, I don't know the answer.

I use mine for two different types of peppercorn - one side black and the other side pink and have had no problem with the two mixing but salt may be a different story. Perhaps the other reviewers are not grinding in one direction? If you try and go back and forth the items will mix but if you grind strictly clockwise or counter-clockwise you should be fine.

I don't, but I think you could. I think the instructions had talked about grinding corn as well as peanuts.

I don't think so the space were you would put pepper or items to grind is very narrow so I don't think nuts or coffee beans would fit.

You can but if that's all you'll ever be using it for you may just want to get a smaller capacity grinder. That said, it's a really good grinder. I've had mine several years now and it still works great.

I have only used it for pepper, but Yes, you can set the grind to quite fine.

Haven't tried peppercorns, but would guess they would work fine. The chamber is small enough to keep them contained, the grind setting is infinitely adjustable, and a peppercorn has similar texture/hardness of a coffee bean.
