Im not sure what 2 mm gets you , as you are after powder in the end.

 

was 1 mm difficult for the machine to process ?

 

when completely dry , try pulsing the 1 mm and see how fine you can get w the FP.

 

if you get a powder that way that's fine enough for b baking , Id consider leaving the

 

1 mm sealed until you need it , then pulse to powder .

The machine had no trouble at all slicing ginger into 1 mm slices.  But, yours truly found it a PITA to place those very thin slices on the drying racks which is why I then set the slices at 2 mm.

 

When they finished drying i tried turning it into powder using my FP.  My FP came with a smaller bowl that fits in the large bowl which is what I used.  It did not turn to powder.  I then pulled out my Vitamix and voila!  We have ginger powder.  My almost 3 pounds of fresh finger gave me 91 grams or 3 1/4 ounces of ginger powder.  Next, I'm doing a test run of mango puree and strawberry puree.  I currently have a test run of cooked rice in the dehydrator to see if I can turn it into "Instant " rice.
