A table top wet grinder is a food preparation appliance commonly used in Indian cuisine to grind food grains and produce pastes or batters. In general, it consists of granite stones that are powered by an electric motor to rotate inside a metal drum. A smooth batter or paste is produced when the food grains are crushed in the space between the stone and the drum. In South Indian cooking, wet grinders are frequently used to make foods like dosa, idly, vada, appam, and paniyaram. Compared to electric mixers, the wet grinder produces less heat during the grinding process, allowing the ingredients' flavor and nutritional content to be preserved. In addition, compared to metal blades, the stone grinder keeps its sharp edge longer. This has a capacity of 2 litres with 2 roller stones and is made up of high quality material for longer and uninterrupted runs in the future.

Usage
:
1. Prepare Ingredients : Soak your grains or lentils for a few hours (usually 4-8 hours) before grinding. Ingredients like rice and urad dal for dosa batter should be soaked together.
2. Setup the Wet Grinder : Place the Grinder on a stable surface, ensure your table top wet grinder is on a flat, stable surface to prevent vibrations during operation.
3. Add the Ingredients : Place the soaked and drained ingredients into the grinding drum. If the recipe calls for water, add it progressively during grinding until you reach the desired consistency.
4. Start the Grinding Process : Plug in the grinder and turn it on. Make sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions regarding power settings.
5. Check Consistency : Periodically stop the grinder and check the consistency of the batter. Scrape down the sides with a spatula to incorporate all ingredients, if necessary.
6. Finish Grinding : The grinding process can take different time for different materials, depending on the quantity and type of ingredients. As the grinding progresses, you will notice a change in sound and texture, indicating that the ingredients are being processed well.
7. Serve and Clean : Switch off the grinder upon achieving the desired grinding results and unplug it from the power source. Carefully detach the drum from the base. Use a spatula to scrape out the batter, ensuring you get every bit.
8. Cleaning the Grinder :
Detach Accessories : Remove any detachable parts.
Wash Thoroughly : Rinse the drum and stones with warm water. Avoid using soap, as it can affect the taste of future batters.
Dry Completely : Ensure all parts are dried properly before reassembling to prevent rusting.
Applications
