ادامه مطلبFinding a grinder that works for masa. I went in to Sur La Table several months ago, and talked to a clerk about needing a better way to grind lime-treated corn (nixtamal) to make fresh masa. I've been using my Cuisinart, and it really struggles--I have to re-grind small batches several times to get it fine enough for tortillas.
ادامه مطلبI can't seem to grind the nixtamal fine enough, like they do in the molinos. The masa there is practically creamy, while mine, after one go through the mill, is still a little grainy.
