Spice Grinder

A hand-crank grinder for whole spices.

Why is it useful?

Grinds only what you need, right before it goes in the pot — whole spices keep their oils far longer than pre-ground.

How does it fit the ORVIK world?

The grinder that lives next to the stove, not in a drawer.

How to use it

Best for cumin, coriander, peppercorns — anything you'd otherwise buy pre-ground and let go stale. Grind directly over the pot so nothing's wasted, and adjust the coarseness with the top screw depending on whether you want a rough crust for meat or a fine dust for a marinade. Wipe the burrs out with a dry brush; water rusts the mechanism.
