I was making a rub today and was getting a little annoyed with mixing in the clumpy brown sugar and generally getting all of the ingredients to mix. I was doing it with a fork. Who uses a blender or grinder for making rubs? What would you recommend?

Thanks.
 
I use a blade type coffee grinder reserved for spice grinding only. Makes quick work reducing dried chipoltes to chipolte powder. Just don't get too close when you open the lid, (don't ask me how I know...)
 
With dry spices I just mix in a bowl with my hand(s).

For wet rubs I use a morter & pestal. A little garlic, rosemary, thyme & mint with a splash of olive oil is perfect for lamb.

I suppose you could use a food processer, but what fun is that? Old school Baby!
 
i use a old flour sifter. the i can poke the lumps thru the screen.
 
yup,blade type coffee mill,short puseses for course grind. Pepper,coriander,mustard corns do NOT work to well for me in a Mortar & Pestle. To many seeds all over the kitchen.LOL:icon_blush:
 
Coffee Grinder as well, I don't use brown sugar I use turbinado it doesn't clump and take a bit more heat... you could dry your brown sugar that will stop it from clumping as well.
 
I've got a dedicated Krups grinder for spices.
 
A burr style coffee grinder here for easy granule size control but I've never tried running sugar thru it.
 
I've had this one- given me years of service-

I have a dedicated burr coffee grinder too. I originally bought it as a backup for my reduction gear conical burr grinder as it was on clearance for $29.00. Didn't like the way it ground the coffee, so it sat for 4 years till I got into BBQ. It works great for grinding spices at the coarsest setting for rub.

Oh, and plus a million for turbinado instead of brown sugar. Or any sugar for that matter. If a rub recipe requires sugar of any type, it's turbinado by default for me.
