Household Grinders
Wet grinding is not very common in western cuisine but is very popular in Indian kitchens and grinders are used to make pastes from grains and lentils. These grinders generally consists of a few stone plates that are rolled again and again another stone plate with the items to be grinded between them. Generally, wet grinding is considered advantageous over mixers or blenders because the stone grinder does not generate a lot of heat, which can change the flavor of the food and also, the stones don't lose their sharpness as quickly as metal blades giving wet grinders a longer life.

Famous quotes containing the word household:
“Men will not give up their privilege of helplessness without a struggle. The average man has a carefully cultivated ignorance about household matters—from what to do with the crumbs to the grocer’s telephone number—a sort of cheerful inefficiency which protects him better than the reputation for having a violent temper.”
—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
