Answer 2

The usual way to crush whole allspice is in a mortar, using a pestle, or in a coffee grinder.

If you don't have either a mortar and pestle set or a coffee grinder, you could put the allspice seeds into a strong plastic bag and pound them with something heavy and unbreakable, such as a rolling pin or small hammer, on a wooden chopping board. The bag will stop them flying all over the place when you hit them.

For small quantities you can use a pepper grinder.

If you crush whole spices regularly, which will reward you with great flavours, it might be worthwhile buying a small coffee grinder or mortar and pestle. They cost about the same. There will be a slight residual aroma left in the coffee grinder which will transfer to coffee beans; some people enjoy the variety in their coffee.

The advantage of using a mortar is that once your dry spices are crushed you can, depending of course on the use you're making of the spices, add liquids and other flavourings, such as garlic and so on, crushing and then using the pestle to blend the mixture.

Answer 3

Fresh ginger roots can be shredded, finely minced, sliced, or grated. You can cut off about an inch and put it in the food processor along with a couple of garlic cloves to use in stir-fries. The most tender portion of the root is directly beneath the skin. The center has a much more powerful flavor and is more fibrous. The fibers run vertically down the root, so shred fresh ginger in the same direction as the fibers. It is not necessary to peel the root. To substitute fresh ginger for the ground spice, use about 1 tablespoon grated fresh root for 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger. Ginger is excellent in stir-fries and sauteed vegetables, with sweet potatoes, carrots, and squash.
