Ground Eggshell Flour
-
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 ?
Either a spice grinder or a wheat grinder.

Uhm, yeah, Try any of the methods of which those people are suggesting; and then try to use that powder for baking real food that you're going to put into your mouth and chew. Been there, done that, and I'm looking for a spice grinder so that I don't repeat exactly what all those websites are trying to describe.

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.

Can't see any reason why I would want to do that.

I hope you wash your egg shells. Me, I can't see it.

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.

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

My first question would be, why would you want to? What's in there besides calcium carbonate? You can buy that at the grocery store in tablet form and crush it on the sidewalk with a hammer.

I'd look into a manual corn (coffee, nut, flour) grinder. Inexpensive ones are around $30US. They look like the old-fashioned meat grinders that used to be a kitchen standard. I just used one in a class to make tortillas, and it ground the soaked corn into a paste. With something like a blender, some of the material is always going to escape getting chopped by the blades, but if it's going between two plates everything is completely ground.

At this moment, I think that perhaps the most sensible and most effective approach will be to try your idea for the inexpensive thing, And also try this more expensive thing at $140...

Correct But I cannot buy that at the grocery store in a powdered form that is Acceptable for baking Pancakes

Sure - Rinse them - Freeze them - Amass a few dozen of them in the freezer - Set oven to 220 degrees Fahrenheit - Bake for more than eighty minutes
