    Default Best nut grinder?

    Can anyone recommend an electric nut grinder? I've tried search engines but they keep directing me to coffee grinders and while they often double up as spice and seed grinders are not always the best for nuts. I have a Moulinex coffee grinder but while it is excellent for grinding cashews, peanuts and others it usually just rounds off Brazils. I have to use kitchen scissors to cut almonds and walnuts before putting them in the grinder too. There must be a grinder that works without me having to half its job first!

    Help!

    Hmm, I just use my food processor which seems to work OK if you just want them ground roughly - maybe not if you need them ground to a particular consistency?

    My baby grandson, ah and my wife, prefers the nuts to be almost a flour!

    Ah, I'm not sure if the food processor would do that, but it might if I ran it for longer - I usually want mine with bits in (for bread).

    If you have a food processor you could try it although I suspect if you ground too many nuts it might blunt the blade or something. Have been doing it for a while though (like several years) and not noticed a problem.

    I should have mentioned that the ground nuts are for nut roast and nut paste / pate.
