Nothing adds more excitement to a dish than freshly ground spices, so keep your Cuisinart Spice and Nut Grinder handy whenever you're cooking! This spice grinder uses stainless steel blades specially designed for spices and nuts, as well as a heavy duty motor and a press-down lid that starts the grinding process with one touch and seals in the fine granules. The bowl can hold up to 90 grams of spices or nuts and is dishwasher safe, along with the lid. For safety, the grinder features non-slip rubber feet and a built-in interlock which prevents operation unless the lid is secured.
