talltexan Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 For those of you who have a Nutri Mill, please read... I love the flour that my Nutri Mill makes, but OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS it is hard for me to use! I have had mine since May and used it at least a dozen times. But you know the lid that goes on the bottom reservoir that holds the flour after it is ground? I have SUCH a hard time getting that lid on and off! I always put some fine flour around the edges to try to make the lid a little more slippery, but it still takes at least 10 minutes to get on and off. Honestly, I can't do it--I have to have my hubby do it. I want to make flour and homemade bread more often, but I am getting so discouraged! Any advice? I know a lot of you have the Nutri Mill....

KS_ Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Well, I don't know if I'm doing what I'm supposed to with it, but I don't actually wash mine out after I grind flour every time. So it's coated with quite a bit of flour and isn't that hard to turn. I know when I do wash it occasionally, it's much harder to twist off and on.

I've never had it take 10 minutes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I had that issue as well...I called Nutrimill and they recommended putting a little oil on the seal until it loosened up with wear. It really helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver0f10 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Lightly grease it with olive oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delighted3 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I've had mine for almost 3 years and it still has a tight seal. I also use oil around the rubber rim to make it easier. I have to do it again every so often. HTH, Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 if you coat it with flour it will be easier to get on and off. I never greased mine, but that would work too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talltexan Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 The flour around the rim hasn't helped enough, so I will try the oil. Thank you so much for the advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
