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

Now I want a roast beef grinder.

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.

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

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...

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.

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

oOoops, I did not read for detail and just got a general idea into my head. I just purchased an inexpensive coffee grinder, But it wasn't manual; It is electric My stupid mind; stupid; stupid ! [PLAN NINE: "Your Stupid Minds! Stupid! Stupid!" - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qro7oBzUBos)

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...

I contacted them via their website They responded via E-mail. They told me to go to www.willitgrind.com They said that I will see an example of egg shells and how they come out I looked at that site; couldn't find it. Oh well; this is the internet Happens

This Christmas, Give Me The Gift Of Your Knowledge Here is the latest on my mystery research From The WonderMill company, I got this one line...
This sounds like it would workFrom The Vevor Company... I called and had a spoken voice conversation with a human. She passed along the details to their experts and I got this response that I totally cannot understand...The grinding efficiency of this product you are interested in: 500 grams of dry material is ground for one minute, the screening rate of 50 mesh through the screen is > 90%, and the fineness of ordinary flour is 80 mesh.So I still don't know if the powder will be fine enough for regular cooking. Give me knowledge: Will the powder be fine enough ?
