A retro hand-cranked nut mill

All right, be cranky
Here’s a a classic that will take you back. You might remember chopping nuts for baking using a hand-cranked nut mill (which in the ‘70s was probably avocado green). The nuts go in the top compartment, you give the crank a few twirls, and voilà! You won’t get uniformly chopped nuts like this by beating them in a bag with a rolling pin.
This retro nut mill was spotted in the baking section of Jons Marketplace in Hollywood. The hourglass-shaped mill consists of a white, plastic, snap-top bin with a stainless steel grinder and a top that screws onto a glass basin to collect the chopped nuts. Straightforward and efficient. And the color is an improvement on avocado green.
Nut mill: $4.49 at select Jons Marketplace stores and online at Thekitchenstore.com ($4 and Amazon.com ($4.36)
