It will only grind dry corn or wheat, it will not work with soft or wet grains.

Don't grind corn that isn't completely dry! It will gum up the motor and it can't be repaired if that happens.

It is only used for dry grains. It can not be used for anything that is wet. I hope this helps you.

No, I have only used it for coffee. I think that grinding moist substances, like ginger and garlic, would not work well unless it was fully loaded. I wouldn't do this with my mine.

It grinds both very good. I used dried when I got it and fresh a few days afterwords. Its good for either!

Haven't tried to grind corn. I get a bit of "flour" when I grind wheat and barley for brewing beer. The gap is set to 0.003" with a feeler gauge (from an auto parts shop). I assume you could crank the gap down to where you'd get a flour-like result from corn, or at least a fine corn meal. The only problem I would foresee is that the upper gap may be too large to grab a corn kernel.

Yes, this will work for scalloped corn but you must first reconstitute the corn. This is easy for the freeze dried corn but for the dehydrated corn the cooking time will be much longer. The rehydration information comes with the purchase of the dehydrated and freeze dried fruits and vegetables.

Yes, it will do the job. That's what I used it for. It works OK on everything but dried corn. If you are planning on baking often, though, it can be tedious.

I'm not sure, but I don't see why not. It'll grind beans and corn. What you need to avoid is stuff that's wet and/or oily.

We have used the corn auger, but only for dried corn. I'm not sure it would put wet corn through cleanly without clumping.

I'm not sure about oat groats, though I can say definitively that when grinding corn it must be completely dry or it will gum up the mill...hope this helps.

I really don't know, I have only used it to cook on. It's easy to find either fine or coarse grind, though.

Apologies, but I have not even tried those items. I believe corn kernels would be way too big to fit in the 1.25" hopper opening. The driest grains do best as moisture makes the grinding parts turn gummy. I bet rice & tapioca would do well. I have ground Spelt, Kamut, & other wheats. For flax & teff, seeds like chia, I use my Krups coffee grinder. I do not eat corn, so am not familiar with grinding it, but I'm just thinking of the size of it & it is going to be too big to be ground by this grain grinder, in my estimation.

I use mine for sea salt & black pepper corns. U turn the top to grind. You can also adjust the middle to grind fine or course. They are big but I like them cuz you dont have to fill as often. I hope they come out with regular spice size to fit in cabinet.

I use mine for only nuts. It will grind them to any degree of fineness you prefer, including to paste (almost butter) texture. Works best if you don't fill it too full. It's a dandy little appliance and well worth the price.

nuts will turn to paste. I know it does corn very well. I don't know about seeds. I imagine the harder the seed the better it will grind. I'm sure the warrenty is voided because it will clog the machine.

No. You could grind up corn for tortillas but that's about it. I use mine to grind grains for home brewing, so all I need it for is to knock the hulls off and break the grains up a little. For this purpose it works great.

No. You would need a finer grind. These are stone ground and very coarse. I like that for grits but they would not cook up in the time it would take for cornbread. You might could cook them first for cornbread but you would have to be very good at recreating recipes to pull that one off! Even then these are very coarse stone ground HOMINY which is a different variety of corn, so I am not sure how that would turn out for corn bread. Just buy organic blue cornmeal by Arrowhead Mills for cornbread. Non GMO and fabulous for that application. I use kefir instead of buttermilk and it raises nice for skillet corn bread. I never use sugar in my cornbread even if the recipe calls for it. No need. If someone wants sweet, they can put honey on it. With all that said these will cook up the best grits you will ever eat!

It will not grind anything with moisture, so nuts are not a possibility. It will ruin the grinder
