I am trying to get eggshells ground down to a flour which is fine enough in its powdered form to allow for regular cooking; particularly on a griddle top when mixed with milk and eggs and stuff
The home blender is just not good enough for this purpose; I have already ruined my second one and I'm not going to destroy any others.
I just spent four hours on thirty zillion websites, and apparently my best bet is something called a spice mill grinder.
There is an ocean of those things out there on the market. Interestingly enough, I never knew they existed.
Clueless nubee here: What am I looking for ? What do I need to be looking out for, i.e., in terms of stuff to avoid ?

Uhm, yeah, Try any of the methods of which those people are suggesting; and then try to use that powder for baking real food that you're going to put into your mouth and chew.
Been there, done that, and I'm looking for a spice grinder so that I don't repeat exactly what all those websites are trying to describe.

Can't see any reason why I would want to do that.

Some claim that it helps with bone loss.
But of course calcium tablets do exactly the same thing and more effectively since they are actually formulated for absorption.

Why do you want to use egg shells? Never heard of that.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

Either a spice grinder or a wheat grinder.

I don't think a wheat grinder is going to get to the powder consistency desired. I have a Wonder Mill (something like that) that takes whole wheat berries and quickly generates flour, but I don't think you could get the shells through it. Before ruining a perfectly good wheat grinder, I'd call and ask the company...

I contacted them via their website
They responded via E-mail.
They told me to go to www.willitgrind.com
They said that I will see an example of egg shells and how they come out
I looked at that site; couldn't find it.
Oh well; this is the internet

This Christmas, Give Me The Gift Of Your Knowledge
Here is the latest on my mystery research
From The WonderMill company, I got this one line...
This sounds like it would work
From The Vevor Company...
I called and had a spoken voice conversation with a human.
She passed along the details to their experts and I got this response that I totally cannot understand...
The grinding efficiency of this product you are interested in: 500 grams of dry material is ground for one minute, the screening rate of 50 mesh through the screen is > 90%, and the fineness of ordinary flour is 80 mesh.
So I still don't know if the powder will be fine enough for regular cooking.
Give me knowledge: Will the powder be fine enough ?

As far as I know there is no meaningful difference between a spice mill and a coffee grinder.

You mean as a engineer?
Versus a marketing team? Because they would want to put it in a different box.

Just curious. You destroyed two blenders trying to grind eggshells?

My first thought was a coffee (bean) grinder.
But then I was curious what you might have been looking for because the following google shows up an actual machine that does exactly what you are asking for.

I hope you wash your egg shells. Me, I can't see it.

From that link
"Recently I was picking up gel fuel for a fondue party we were having at our house and was astounded at the price - it has gotten quite expensive."
Not sure when that was written but I just looked and if someone was having a fondue party then the cost is very reasonable.
Then in the instructions is says.
"Pour off excess ethyl alcohol into a sink."
That can be somewhat problematic - even dangerous.
Naturally one might want to be careful with the following also
"Set the calcium acetate solution on a burner"
That is of course because even with an electric top stove, combustibles can be a problem. But with a gas fired stove really not a good idea.
Also nothing in there about ventilation.

Sure
- Rinse them
- Freeze them
- Amass a few dozen of them in the freezer
- Set oven to 220 degrees Fahrenheit
- Bake for more than eighty minutes
