[wheat grinder question]

I have a meat grinder attachment for my Oster Kitchen Center, and for my KitchenAid Stand mixer. (OK, I'm a gadget nut...) Will my meat grinder work as a grain mill?

Thanks for the help.

On the oxygen absorbers...

If I make beef jerkey at home, should I use more than 1 oxygen absorber? It just seems to me that if 1 is good, 2 or 3 would better.

Also, I've borrowed your great idea on drying the frozen vegetables. I've had the dehydrator running nearly non-stop for about a week. I've been putting the dried veges into ziplock bags keeping them in the freezer until I have enough of each type to give them one final dry, then seal them up. My question is, how do I know when they are dry enough? And, because I don't trust myself with this yet, should I put more than 1 absorber in each bag?

By the way, if you like okra, it dries very well and is a tasty, crunchy snack. I was surprised!!

Thanks for the tips.
