Do You Own a Pepper Grinder?

August 6, 2009

Using a pepper grinder greatly improves one's seasoning skills. Plus it's fun to play server and ask guests if they'd like freshly ground pepper on their salads or pasta. Do you own this old-school gadget?

Yes, but after I bought it never seemed to use it.

I do have a really big one, and whenever my husband and I use it, we say "Would you like some fresh-a pepper?" (like that guy http://www.linkognito.com/b.php?b=307) I wonder if it will ever stop being funny :P I grind almost all my spices before using them.

A few years ago, when we were setting up house, we made a trip to our local kitchen store and they recommended a stainless steel pepper mill and a salt grinder--and we didn't blink twice at the $80 price tag on each, because we absolutely trust our kitchen store owners; they've proven to be worth their weight in gold! (I love our s&p grinders; they're fantastic, as promised--and guaranteed for life.)

Yeah, as well as one for nutmeg, and another one for coriander (I think you guys call it cilantro) seeds. Would use one for salt, though I use either kosher salt or sea salt flakes.

I actually own 4, plus a sea salt grinder. My husband is a wood worker, and keeps making them for me in his woodshop. We now enjoy freshly ground black, white, pink, or a melange of peppers at every meal.
