What are the Hints and Tips for using the Mill attachments on the KENWOOD BLP31?

For optimum performance when processing spices we recommend that you do not process more than 40g at a time in the mill.

Whole spices retain their flavour for a much longer time than ground spices so it is best to grind a small quantity fresh at a time to retain the flavour.

To release the maximum flavour and essential oils whole spices are best roasted prior to milling.

Baby food/purees – allow cooked food to cool to room temperature before processing in the mill.
