grinding appliance
also called food grinding appliance
A food-preparation appliance that reduces a solid food to particles by crushing, shearing or cutting it into grounds, mince or grains — coffee beans to grounds, meat to mince, peppercorns to a powder. Beyond what any food-prep appliance states (how its motor speed is selected) it answers how the COARSENESS of that output is controlled (fixed / stepped / stepless / interchangeable plates). Its members are the coffee grinder, the meat grinder and the spice/pepper mill; each refines it with the slots its own mechanism adds (a coffee grinder its burr-vs-blade mechanism, a meat grinder its set of cutting plates), while a plain electric salt/pepper mill resolves here directly. It is a structural refinement (it adds an answerable question), not a usage category. A blender, food processor, mixer or juicer is NOT a member — each reduces or extracts but exposes no user-set output-coarseness grade.
A genuine kind — it answers questions its parent does not.
A grinding appliance is a food preparation appliance that adds its own grind adjustment.
