Frequently Asked Questions

Should I opt for a higher power-rated wet grinder?
Wet grinders for domestic use generally come equipped with a 150W or 200W motor. That should be ideal for your requirements. However, investing in a higher power-rated wet grinder can lead to higher power consumption.
How do I use the wet grinder wisely to save power?
In the normal course, idli or dosa batter takes around 20 to 30 minutes for efficient grinding. However, you should not overload the machine or grind batter in low quantities. Overloading can tire the motor and lead to more power consumption. If you have less quantity to grind, your regular mixer grinder can do a good job.
Which is a better appliance between a regular mixer grinder and a wet grinder?
A wet grinder is a better appliance for grinding a sufficient quantity of idli batter for the entire family. Your regular mixer grinders are good for grinding in small quantities.
