Author: A good friend of mine needed to go gluten free. I understand just how challenging that can be! When my now 4 year old dd was a toddler she reacted badly to gluten and milk. Thankfully it only lasted just over a year. Dear friend decided to sell her grain mill since it had been used with gluten flours. It’s now a much loved addition to my kitchen. Now I already own the family grain mill with a hand base and I do like it. However I find it to hard to grind large amounts of grain with it daily.
Today I gave it a try and ground enough wheat to make my normal bread recipe. What can I say I LOVE fresh whole wheat bread! I made four loaves and two are gone already! One was devoured before it finished cooling. The other was turned into garlic bread. That went great with our pizza supper. Now if I could just find a local source for taller bread pans! All our area sells are 8 x 4 inch.

Oh I would love to have one of those! I’ve wanted one for a long time… I bet it is pretty handy!
Lucky you! I have a NutriMill, too. When you have the time (???) , I would appreciate your thoughts comparing your manual mill and the NutriMill. I would like to get a hand grinder for safety’s sake — should we lose power. The only thing I’ve had trouble with in the NutriMill is grinding Kamut. Had to set it way over toward “2 o’clock” for coarseness to keep from overheating it. Still made fine, fluffy flour, though. Can tell you are already enjoying it!

Hi Liz, I’ll try to get to that soon! I do like the family grain mill, but find it a little hard to mill large amounts of flour with it. But my dh has no problems using it!

For larger bread pans, check a restaurant supply store (or a restaurant supply store online). There are definitely bigger pans out there. I’ve seen them at our local restaurant supply store.
I’m glad you’re enjoying it

Thanks! I haven’t found any local in Canada. We do buy many of our groceries from a store that supplies restaurants. I’ll ask them if they might carry it.
I have a grain mill (Komo Fidibus 21), too, and just LOVE it! I wish I had gone for the mill/flaker combination (Komo Duett 100), though, because using my flaker with the hand base for my oatmeal every morning is a little annoying. But I didn’t want to spend that much money then. Oh well… And the Duett looks so pretty, don’t you think? http://www.frischmahlen.de/en/mills/duett_100.html
I found a Whisper Mill at a yard sale years ago. My husband protested the $50 price, but when I showed him how much they were on the internet he relented. I’m so glad! It has been so nice to have.
Enjoy!
