How to Make Cracked Corn
Cracked corn is an ingredient in many animal feeds and is often fed by itself to chickens or other home-raised fowl. Finely cracked corn can also be used to add texture to breads, soups and stews. If you are planning to crack corn for animal feed, you will need a large, commercial-size grain mill to accomplish this task. If you are wanting cracked corn for use in recipes for your table, a home grain mill will do the job splendidly. Either way, the process is the same.
Things You'll Need
- Grain grinder
- Bowl or bucket
- Whole, shelled dried corn
Instructions
-
Set up your grinder according to manufacturer's instructions. If your grinder settings are adjustable, set the adjustment to the coarsest grind possible.
-
Set a bowl or bucket beneath the discharge shoot of the grinder. This will catch the cracked corn as it is processed.
-
Fill the hopper of the grinder with whole, shelled dried corn.
-
Turn the grinder on if using an electric model; otherwise, begin turning the crank on a manual grinder. Grind the corn, allowing it to fall into the bucket or bowl until the hopper is empty.
-
Repeat by refilling the hopper and coarsely grinding the corn until the desired amount has been cracked.
