Re: moldy grain grinder - help!

[Guest guest]

You can use food-grade oil to lubricate it. But I think really all

you need is a coating to prevent moisture from getting in to rust

it. I forget now which ones go rancid the most slowly; probably

olive oil. My metal grinder (and the apple peeler/corer/slicer) say

to rub food oil on them after using to prevent rust.

That's weird that you don't have a way to clean it! Mine always has

a fair bit of grain stuck in it when I'm done. I've figured out a

straightened paperclip is the best tool to get the stuck kernels out.

when I got it out to use, I discovered that it has a moldy smell in

the wood. Is it salvagable and if so, what can I do to kill the mold?

Vinegar kills lots of molds and mildews, also tea tree oil. I would

think soak it in vinegar first, or vinegar with TTO. The vinegar smell

evaporates a lot faster than the tto smell. Spraying down the surface

with vinegar and scrubbing would also help, but soaking would be better.
