I feel like this is designed for people who don't know how to use dried chiles properly

sockpuppyWhat do yoy mean properly? how would you grind fresh without getting it all over your fingers?

ScoobyWanYou don't. You grind after you've soaked/de-seeded/de-stemmed them. A stick blender will suffice.

sockpuppyNot to be pedantic, but you don't need to soak them. I make my own chili powder by first toasting the chilis then grinding them. The interest here would be in not having to use my coffee grinder to do so, but this also doesn't seem large enough to do what I need it to.

sockpuppyAs this is a "cutter" and not a "grinder" I suspect its output is closer to pepper flakes like in a pizza joint. Different application entirely.
May be wrong about what this product does, but it wouldn't seem to be making powder for, say, chili.

sockpuppyI sun dry stuff and honestly, my time is needed elsewhere. Like gaming and running my mouth. :D
But seriously too, I'm always looking for convienince, meaning I don't want to contaminate a grinder with peppers just for a one off use. Everything you said is legit just some people want it easy and I don't blame them. ;)

ScoobyWanI use a molcajete (big ol' Mexican morter n pestle) for mine and it works just fine for dried spices, rehydrated stuff, fresh veggies, fruits, etc. I also have a coffee grinder for stuff where i don't care if it turns into powder.
