Will this mill grind corn kernels into corn meal? If so, what moisture content in corn is best?

i have ground pop corn with this machine a number of times with no problems. i don't know the moisture content of pop corn but i believe it's low.

Yes it will grind corn kernels into corn meal. I can't speak to the moisture contnetmportionofmthe question becaus simply bought the corn kernels at my local grocer.

Yes it will. I would recommend grinding it as dry as possible. You don't want to put anything wet or oily into your mill because it will clog up the milling heads.

This Kitchen Mill WILL mill the following materials that have less than 15% moisture content: Wheat Lentils Garbanzo beans Barley Pinto Beans Chickpeas Most Type Beans Millet Green Peas Split Peas Legumes Oats Corn (including Popcorn) Soybeans Mung Beans Rice Sorghum (milo) Spelt Feed/Field corn Rye Triticale Quinoa Oyster shells Kamut Amaranth Teff The Kitchen Mill WILL NOT mill the following materials due to stickiness, oils, and moisture content: Sugar and Salt All seeds including Sunflower & Sesame Nuts of all kinds including Peanuts Dried fruits including dates and raisins Tapioca Pearls Coffee Beans Mesquite Beans - too fibrous Flaxseed Fresh or dried Herbs Fresh or dried Spices I have been very successful using my coffee grinder for this kind of jobs. It works great and usually you don't need many cups of nut or seed flour at a time.

Sorry, I don't know but I didn't like this product at all and returned it. It doesn't pop well and leaves a lot of u popped kernels. I read that they used to be hotter but that burned the corn, so they made it less hot. Good luck.

Not certain about cream of wheat, but it will do cornmeal if that helps. I have an old hand mill that I use for coarse stuff.

I only grind corn for our thirty chickens,so i'm sure what you need. But it can grind corn very very fine if you want.But the finer you grind corn ,the harder it is to crank.We like it for what we need it to do.

I once tried to use my Corona Corn Mill to grind wheat fine enough to bake a small loaf. It did NOT work. I even tried to re-grind the resultant flour which was too coarse. I ran it through the mill at least three times. It still was not fine enough. I do NOT believe that it would work any better for rice. Sorry, Richard

I have ground hard Indiana popcorn for corn bread.... it grinds that pretty well, but is a lot of work hand cranking! I use the drill attachment and that helps a lot!

Yes, I would think so. I have never tried other grains or seeds, but I grind wheat into a very fine flour, and rice is a similar grain. I have trouble telling the difference between flour ground on the coarse setting and flour ground on the fine setting. This mill will not make grits!

I pop it dry, then pour melted butter and sprinkle a little salt on it after pouring popped corn into a large bowl. The power cup concentrator lasts for more batches that way.

They pretty much are the same. Grits are usually finer in texture. Just depends how the company grinds it. I grind my own corn into cornmeal to make polenta and get it works great.

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.

I have ground popcorn many times as slow as possible, on the finest settings possible. Sadly, I can't get it as fine as I would like. It's always what I would consider a coarse cornbread grind. Sure if I sifted it with various sizes of mesh screens, some of the milled product would be fine, just not enough. I'm thinking I might have to break it up first in a food processor to have more luck.

Works fine for barley and corn for brewing. Not designed for making flour, cannot gring grains only crush.

Don't grind corn that isn't completely dry! It will gum up the motor and it can't be repaired if that happens.

It's harder than wheat for sure but doable. I run it though a couple of times. Once to 'crack' the corn and then again on a finer setting to make meal. I hope you have the power bar handle extender. This really adds to the ease of turning and grinding and is well worth the price! I have also found that the counter height makes a big difference in ease of grinding. For me higher is better. My hopper sits about chest high on me. No leaning over to grind� I use it every week and dearly love this machine!

It would grind much finer for sure, but since I do not eat wheat (we eat Gluten Free) I do not know for sure. I could go test it to see if it would make rice into granules (which I believe it would), to make cream of rice, only it started smoking yesterday, and shaving off plastic from some part inside and spitting the plastic shavings into the already ground flour. So now I am afraid to turn it on, and will be purchasing a new mill, but a different brand, for reasons already stated.

The grain mill has two knobs that control motor speed and feed rate. Even at the lowest motor speed and highest feed rate, you are getting a very coarse flour. This is not coarse enough for cracked wheat. The small mill (chopper) would do the job. Just use short bursts until it's the right consistency.
