A KitchenAid mixer was used with my Mockmill, but it will fit most stand mixers that take attachments, including Kenmore and Elextrolux.
When I was a kid my mom went with the lady across the street to a COOP that had a mill, and they ground their own flour. It was the early 1970s and all kinds of stuff like this was happening, some fortunate (fresh bread, music) and some not so fortunate (macrame, velour). Her flirtation with fresh milled flour ended when the neighbor moved, but I never forgot the light-as-air bread and cakes and the heavenly taste. Ahhhhhhhh! I have baked plenty of stuff from scratch through the years, always relying on the standard flours that are sold at the grocery store. While they produce perfectly adequate results, I always wonder about how healthy that flour really is, especially in light of the recent E-Coli flour recalls. Plus I would love to be able to try milling different things like beans, corn, etc. and incorporate some healthier options into our diet. Enter the Mockmill. I am NO pioneer woman who is going to be grinding stones together or sweating to grind anything let me tell you. BUT I was reassured that in fact while this mill was not itself electric, it attached to my Kitchen Aid mixer which IS electric. So I decided to venture into the realm of fresh milling. I got the Mockmill and a great book Flour Power. I am thankful for that book as I am clueless when it comes to the subject and this book was easy to understand and full of great information. I felt flour empowered! The mill itself is easy to attach to my KitchenAid. It literally took me 30 seconds. It is sleek and well constructed, and it perfectly marries with my mixer.
Enough admiration, it was time to grind some stuff! I started with a cup of plain white rice in order to clean the stones. On the first use, some flaking of the stones occurs and I wanted to use something cheap that I could throw away, plus I wanted to experiment with the grinding adjustment. After dumping that initial grind out, I was ready to mill some grain! I decided for my first time out that I would not get TOO crazy, so I went with some Hard Red Wheat, which is great for overall use. We love the taste and texture of whole wheat and don’t have any gluten issues in our home. The beauty of this Mockmill is that you can grind just about ANY non oily grain.
