Was just curious how others prepared there rub. I use to just whisk together in a bowl but lately I have been using a coffee bean grinder and grinding my rubs. Works great, I seem to get better coverage and its easier to get out of a shaker.
Johnny, morning and welcome to the forum..... You bet.... Fresh ground spice is better...... also try roasting them in a frying pan just a little to add another dimension to their flavor, then grind...... Dave
It depends on the rub recipe but I have used my Kitchenaid grinder to grind rub mixes before. It does make for a very well mixed and even rub. But there are some rubs that seem to work better in their "as is chunky" form IMO.
This is the grinder I have and it's dedicated as a spice grinder even though Kitchenaid markets it as a coffee grinder. I use a burr grinder for my coffee.
As Dave said Toast then grind any whole spice or herb.I have had to put my dark brown sugar in the blinder before when it gets to hard to break up with a fork this also works well. Welcome to the group also.
Thanks guys, and I would like to try to roast my next rub, what do you guys do? Just sauté in a pan? No butter or oil though right? Is there a certain color or texture to aim for? I know that is prolly dependent on spices being used, and sugar.
