My 4 years old son is suffering multiple food allergies (diary, eggs, sulphites and food additives maybe Antioxidants) and food intolerance (leaf vegetables, soya) , but he is ok with rice and I want to make him some rice pudding/dessert that is free of his allergens.
He is ok with the rice we bought from Asian Supermarket but the shop bought rice flour caused him itchy skin.
So, I thought Salzburger Max will do a good job to mill some rice flour and the grain mill itself is free of plastic .
Does anyone has experience of using it? as I never bought a grain mill before, if you can give you your valuable opinions, that would be very helpful.
Does anyone know this https://natural-grainmills.com website? Are they reliable? because the website is based in Austria and we live in England. I do worried the safety of the site.
Thank you for your help.
I am sorry to hear about your son. I am not familiar with the particular mill you asked about ,but have looked at the website. It looks similar in concept to a number of well respected mills - such as the Komo, The Nutrimill Harvest, and the Mockmill. One horizontal stationary stone, one stone that is adjacent to it that rotates, a feed hopper that feeds the grains between the two stones, a mechanism to adjust the space between the two stones, and a discharge chute. I would think it would do a fine job, that arrangement is fairly standard and works well. I have a Komo and I mostly use it for grinding wheat, I have used it to grind rice flour several times , and it worked fine.
I am in the US, and am not familiar with that website, though Austria is where the Komo is made.
I will have a look other mills you mentioned above. Thank you X
and explain your worries. One thing to consider is the wood in the mill and if your son may be sensitive to it. I also see that not all mills process rice kernels satisfactory.
From my experience with rice pudding, milling is not needed to make rice pudding. Tapioca might also be a choice if he doesn't react to it.
StickyRice can also be pulsed in a blender, steamed, cooled, the mass grated into crumbs and then steamed again into Cake.
I will contact them about the wood and have a look at blender too! Thank you for giving us your knowledge. We are very appreciated. X
