Grinding is out of the question for me though I have bought the seeds
as well. I don't like raw and so was going to roast first, the way
we do back home. But no time.

So, how about this? I put the spices in sandwich bags and then place
them in a ziplock bag and then place those in my 8 quart pressure
cooker. I can seal the weight thing with some strong tape. I'll start
a thread and see who'd say that pressure cooker would be considered
airtight if sealed that way.
