Grinding Your Own Flour: a Review of the Mockmill 100 and Nutrimill Classic

[@helenruth5024]

Thanks for the information and demonstration! I am an early riser and love to tackle big projects quietly in the early morning. I appreciate knowing I am not alone . Blessings overflowing.

[@kayslittlekitchen]

Absolutely :-) Thank you!

[@beckypottinger9162]

I enjoyed this! I haven't invested in either a mill or whole grains yet, but I intend to someday. Thanks for the info and demonstrations!

[@kayslittlekitchen]

You're welcome! I really do love grinding my own grains, it's pretty cool!

[@cctutorequippingvideos5252]

I loved this video! Thank you for showing a double grind too.

[@kayslittlekitchen]

You're welcome! :-)

Great presentation. I ended up getting the wondermill. I am happy with it so far. Was going to get the mockmill 200 and where I purchased thru recommended the wondermill instead. They said for grits to use popcorn in my blender. Have not done that yet. Sifting the flour is a good trick. The baked goods I have made are delicious 😊❤🥰 So much better than store bought flour! Thank you for sharing 😊

[@kayslittlekitchen]

Totally agree on home milled tasting better :-) Isn't it a lot of fun? I love it! I haven't tried using popcorn, please let me know what you think when you do.

@@kayslittlekitchen Thanks, I will.😊

I have a Whispermill, older, but very similar to the Wondermill. Had it for about 25 yrs. now. I can mill my flour so fine, there is no need to sift anything. And I would not want to, because I want the whole kernel in my flour.

[@kayslittlekitchen]

So true! I only sift out the husk that may have made it into the grain bag. I use a spaghetti strainer so that all the good stuff remains 😁

[@rebekahsedillo]

This is so interesting. Another pro for the Mockmill 100 is that since it has the spout, you could grind it directly into a tub (i'm used to keeping my flour/sugar/etc in a tub w/ an airtight lid)

[@kayslittlekitchen]

Yes ma'am, agreed :-)

[@maryholton162]

With the Nutrimill you have to estimate how much grain you need to get a certain amount of flour. With the Mockmill, you can place a large measuring cup under the spout and grind more specifically the amount you need. Also, the reservoir of the Nutrimill is not machine washable, whereas I can just put my measuring cup in the dishwasher.

[@kayslittlekitchen]

Very true! I have a conversion chart that I use as well. I will get that up on my website this week.

[@ingridscott91]

Or you use a scale and weight the amount of flour you need, no guessing involved.

[@kayslittlekitchen]

Very good tip!

This makes me want to get into bread, etc., making.

Just found your channel... I have both mills. I use the nutrimill for my corn. I don't have to grind twice. I noticed you didn't do corn in yours. Is there a reason for that? Subscribed...🥰

[@kayslittlekitchen]

Howdy, Ms Sue! I do grind corn in my Mockmill, I prefer using that one. The Nutrimill Classic hurts my ears a little bit and I tend to use that when I need to grind a large quantity of grain quickly. The double grind is just a personal preference :-) Don't you just love milling your grain? I really do!

[@suemerritt1679]

@@kayslittlekitchen It is definitely a jet engine that's crashing when I grind corn, but it is fast...😂

[@kayslittlekitchen]

Totally agree on the fast aspect!

[@WhatWeDoChannel]

Thank you, that was informative! I’m interested in Mock mills. Right now I’m using unbleached white bread flour, I wonder if I could mill something similar?

[@kayslittlekitchen]

Yes you can totally mill that. I would use hard white wheat berries, ground fine and sifted through a normal pasta colander to remove the large chunks. Sift it through a 40 mesh sieve to recreate store bought unbleached white bread flour. This sieve WILL remove all the bran, though. amzn.to/3T0ECLM

[@ingridscott91]

I have a Whispermill, older but similar to the Wondermill. My flour is so fine, I don't need to sift anything, not that I would ever do that. I want the whole grain in my flour and baked goods.

[@WhatWeDoChannel]

@@ingridscott91 I ended up getting the Mockmill 200. I still have some experimenting to do! I have made some good bread but not great bread yet! I think I will end up with a blend of purchased organic white flour and whole wheat from my mill. I find that if I grind the hard red coarsly and then regrind it fine I like the result better.

[@kayslittlekitchen]

Same, that's my preferred method with hard red wheat. I have found that mixing 50% of the recipe's wheat with my home milled red wheat gives me great flavor, good texture, and great crumb. The bread turns out pretty dense and heavy if I go above 50%.

[@WhatWeDoChannel]

@@kayslittlekitchen Thank you!

[@dianebarsamian1022]

Thank you for the video. Are you using popcorn or field corn?

[@kayslittlekitchen]

On Azure Standard, it's labeled Organics Whole Yellow Corn. So I'm guessing it's a type of field corn due to the shape. You'd probably have to contact them for specific details about their grain choices. Great question, thanks for asking! www.azurestandard.com/shop/product/food/grains/corn/whole/yellow/whole-yellow-corn-organic/7438?package=GR026&a_aid=bcaeb997d0
