Abstract
An electric spice grinder with digital thermometer is an apparatus that dispenses milled spices automatically and includes a digital thermometer that can be used to monitor the temperature of food products. The apparatus includes a grinder housing, a food thermometer, a grinder mechanism, a portable power source, and a controller. The grinder housing corresponds to the main structure that houses the rest of the components in a portable and ergonomic way. The food thermometer can be used to monitor the temperature of the desired food product separate from the grinder housing. The grinder mechanism corresponds to the motorized mechanism that dispenses a desired amount of milled spice at a desired grind level. The portable power source provides the voltage necessary to sustain the operation of the food thermometer, the grinder mechanism, and the controller. The controller enables the operational control of the food thermometer and the grinder mechanism.
