    Hello,

    what is the best proven way to produce ground almonds without a grinder or a mill? I have the usual tools available: screwdriver, hammer, chainsaw etc.

    Regards
    Gyro

    Hello,

    I tried it with a (now empty) bottle of red wine and two layers of foil. Didn't work very well.

    Do you have a food processor? That's what works for me. I don't know if that's what you meant by grinder or mill. When they get ground up, I would call it almond meal. It's sold at stores, but can easily be made.

    Hello,

    no food processor either, that's the problem ;). A grinder, as in coffee grinder, looks like this:

    II might be totally wrong, but I think the difference is that a food processor works with rotating knives while a grinder works with some kind of roles. Anyways, both approaches do a better job than the red wine bottle ;).

    Regards
