Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Suitable for flavoring everything from cookies to cakes to sweet potatoes, the four dried spices in this set--cloves, ginger, allspice, and cinnamon--bless food with their full aromas when they're ground by the set's cleverly designed grinder. The ceramic grinder is tough, durable, and won't corrode. It adjusts from coarse to fine with the twist of a knob, and its soft housing cushions the hand. Simply remove the cap, snap the grinder onto the jar, point the grinder down and twist. Flavoring falls either directly onto food or into the cap, which is calibrated to 1/8-, 1/4-, and 1/2-teaspoon measurements. Because the four spices have a natural affinity they can share the same grinder. (The 3-1/2-inch-high jars can be filled with any herb or spice, and the grinder will handle them with ease.) To switch the grinder from jar to jar all it takes is a push of the release button. --Fred Brack

Caps a little awkward, could have gone with nutmeg instead,
By
This review is from: OXO Grind It Baker Set (Kitchen)
I have this and the "basic" set and I love them both. The bit about measuring into the caps is a little decieving...I thought you used a pre-measured setting or something like that, but you really just grind into the cap which has a series of concentric circles for measuring. You have to tap the contents to gather it into the center to get an accurate "measure", so it's not exactly flawless. They are also a little hard to get off easily when you're in the middle of cooking. Lastly, why ginger instead of nutmeg? Ginger is best grated on a ceramic fresh ginger grater, I use nutmeg a lot more in my baking than ginger.Don't get me wrong, I love the set, the grinder works really well with its adjustable coarseness setting. Those were just a couple of things I would have done differently.

The best grinder mechanism on the market--at any price!,
By
This review is from: OXO Grind It Baker Set (Kitchen)
Like a lot of people, I've spent a lot of time and money trying to find a spice grinder that meets a new simple criteria for quuality. Here's what the OXO grinders do well:1) Grind whole spices. It seems simple, but a lot of [costly] grinders do a terrible job of grinding. They might look good on the table or in the kitchen, but who cares if you're getting chunks of unground pepper in your salad? 2) Clean up. I use my OXO grinders in the kitchen for cooking. They get dirty and one of my pet peeves with most grinders is that it's impossible to keep them clean. OXO did a marvelous job making sure they used materials and a design that actually promoted cleaning. 3) Adjust fineness quickly and easily. Without question, these grinders have the smartest adjustment I've ever used. And the mechanism is ceramic, so it will not wear out like plastic or some soft metals. 4) Good looks. Frankly, I bought my first set of OXO grinders because they looked cooler than anything else on the shelf. Is that important? Well, yes. I now have a collection of about 25 of these grinders in full view in my kitchen and it is a source of pride that I have such a great looking grinder set. 5) Reasonable price. When you consider the high quality of the spices included with OXO grinders, they're an absolute bargain for the price. I wouldn't hesitate to buy these, because they (not the spices) will last for a good, long time and you'll get many times' your investment out of them in pure enjoyment and aesthetic value. OXO grinders are superb and deserve all the good press they're getting. I highly recommend them!

Great idea, but not with these spices,
By Paul West (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: OXO Grind It Baker Set (Kitchen)
This is a really good idea, and I hope the other sets from oxo work well. We got this for a wedding present, and I used it successfully a couple of times. Then it jammed. Now it jams up a lot. It takes a lot of fiddling to unjam it, since it doesn't come apart. I don't think its the quality of the grinder. It seems well made. I think the grinder just cannot handle hard spices, such as cinnamon bark and allspice berries. Too bad, because freshly ground cinnamon is yummy. This same idea probably would work on smaller, softer seeds, like fennel, cumin, coriander, etc.
