Grinding spices in a coffee grinder

  Re: (...)
Came across this tip on Cooking Light.com on how to clean your coffee grinder after you grind up seeds (like cumin seeds). I haven't tried it myself yet but thought I'd pass it along.

"Clean the grinder to ­remove flavors that could permeate the next item ground. Wipe the grinder clean with a soft cloth, add a few tablespoons of uncooked white rice, and grind until rice turns into powder; repeat until the ground rice comes out white."

Practice safe lunch. Use a condiment.

...and, when you're done, you can add the "rice flour" to a coating mix (as long as the flavour of whatever you were cleaning out goes along with it okay) for a nice, crispy coating.
If blueberry muffins have blueberries in them, what do vegan muffins have?

You're welcome! Now I need to come up with a recipe using ground spices to test it out.
