If you are anything like me, the idea of buying, let alone actually have a wheat mill can be quite intimidating. I am determined to accumulate a healthy size food storage and wheat is a big part in this game. I am, "store what you eat and eat what you store" is also a fan of the mantra. As quickly became clear to me that I do some serious research to uncover all the secrets of "wheat grinder" or "mills" as they are officially requiredcalled. With the help of internet search had some hands on research in several neighboring houses and several failed attempts in the dinnerware.shoptoday.us" title="buy Kitchen & Dining">Kitchen I come with a fairly good summary of what you need to know.

Prices for Wheat Grinders

Manual wheat mills

Low: $ 20-30 models will not grind flour, roughly corn flour, etc. Not very helpful.
Medium: $ 75 - $ 175 is a good price range. Back to Basics Grain Mill is $ 75. It can grind fine enough for flour, but not for very fine cake flour. Wonder Junior is higher at $ 169 Price, but it can be ground into flour cake.
High: Up to $ 400 for the Country Living grain mill. It's faster than other manual grinding machines and is able to form a fine cake flour to grind.

$ 100-120 can, some mixers are used on each.
Electric mills wheat

Low: In$ 200 for mills such as the Blendtec Grain Mill. Its disadvantages are that it is very noisy and not very coarsely chopped.
Medium: $ 200 - $ 300 you get a large mill. The two mills are the most popular electric WonderMill and NutriMill. In my tests I have to stow the WonderMill faster, quieter, cleaner and easier. And at $ 239 is even cheaper than the NutriMill the $ 269 is cheap.
High: About $ 300 is too much to spend unnecessarily in my opinion. There are seriousModels are, but you can have the job with the mid-range models.

How to Use Wheat Grinders

How To Use Fresh Ground Whole Wheat

Whole wheat bread can delicious! I've been through a lot of attempts of recipes, the perfect balance of flavor, nutrition, texture, etc. are gone for my wheat bread. Experiment with different recipes and types of wheat, until you find what your family prefers. We want to hard white wheat in a recipe containing the gluten and oats.
Pancakes your children will love it! IIHOP took a corn cake recipe and simply substitute all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour and it was amazing. My children ate 3 each at a meal. They are delicious drizzled with honey on top.
Whole grain oatmeal cookies can not resist. I have not tried these recipes yet, but said some of my friends, they prefer whole wheat bread, cookies, regular cookies. Who would not make an excuse to cookies, hey it's your rotating storage of food.
Much more. I grind a large Tupperware fullof hard white wheat flour and store it in my freezer (it keeps the nutrients the way). Whenever I replace all the baking I called half or all of the flour with my whole wheat flour. If it is as good or better I'll add that my recipe for storage of food recipe binder. It is a great way to experiment until you find what works for you.

My recommendations

Emergency-only usage

If you are planning your food storage and wheat mill only when using an emergency situation arises,It is not worth the expense and hassle of buying and storing an electric grinder. At least you should get the back to basics grain mill, but I'd recommend splurging for the Wonder Junior.
Every-Day Usage

If you plan to "store what you eat and eat what you store" I recommend the WonderMill electric grain mill grinder. If you do not plan to find an alternative energy source for an emergency situation, then finally collect Back to Basics Grain Mill also.The price for these two combined are always cheaper than high-end electric grinder, a manual crank that have option, and the functionality of the WonderMill is better for frequent use.
