    I am trying to get eggshells ground down to a flour which is fine enough in its powdered form to allow for regular cooking; particularly on a griddle top when mixed with milk and eggs and stuff The home blender is just not good enough for this purpose; I have already ruined my second one and I'm not going to destroy any others. I just spent four hours on thirty zillion websites, and apparently my best bet is something called a spice mill grinder. There is an ocean of those things out there on the market. Interestingly enough, I never knew they existed. Clueless nubee here: What am I looking for ? What do I need to be looking out for, i.e., in terms of stuff to avoid ?

            Why do you want to use egg shells? Never heard of that.

            I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated. I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

              Either a spice grinder or a wheat grinder.

                A coffee grinder or a spice mill should do the job. E.g.: Temu | Explore the Latest Clothing, Beauty, Home, Jewelry & More[^]

                    As far as I know there is no meaningful difference between a spice mill and a coffee grinder.

                        Just curious. You destroyed two blenders trying to grind eggshells?

                        My first thought was a coffee (bean) grinder. But then I was curious what you might have been looking for because the following google shows up an actual machine that does exactly what you are asking for.

                          Some claim that it helps with bone loss. But of course calcium tablets do exactly the same thing and more effectively since they are actually formulated for absorption.

                            You mean as a engineer? Versus a marketing team? Because they would want to put it in a different box.

                                    Either a spice grinder or a wheat grinder.

                                    I don't think a wheat grinder is going to get to the powder consistency desired. I have a Wonder Mill (something like that) that takes whole wheat berries and quickly generates flour, but I don't think you could get the shells through it. Before ruining a perfectly good wheat grinder, I'd call and ask the company...

                                      From that link

                                      "Recently I was picking up gel fuel for a fondue party we were having at our house and was astounded at the price - it has gotten quite expensive."

                                      Not sure when that was written but I just looked and if someone was having a fondue party then the cost is very reasonable. Then in the instructions is says.

                                      "Pour off excess ethyl alcohol into a sink."

                                      That can be somewhat problematic - even dangerous. Naturally one might want to be careful with the following also

                                      "Set the calcium acetate solution on a burner"

                                      That is of course because even with an electric top stove, combustibles can be a problem. But with a gas fired stove really not a good idea. Also nothing in there about ventilation.

                                        I am trying to get eggshells ground down to a flour which is fine enough in its powdered form to allow for regular cooking; particularly on a griddle top when mixed with milk and eggs and stuff The home blender is just not good enough for this purpose; I have already ruined my second one and I'm not going to destroy any others. I just spent four hours on thirty zillion websites, and apparently my best bet is something called a spice mill grinder. There is an ocean of those things out there on the market. Interestingly enough, I never knew they existed. Clueless nubee here: What am I looking for ? What do I need to be looking out for, i.e., in terms of stuff to avoid ?

                                        a web search led me to a page stating the shells should be sterilized . may i inquire how do you plan to do so ?

                                          Safest way to eat jerky! You don’t have to worry about breaking a tooth.
