Buy Salt And Pepper Shakers

Those overpriced pre-filled pepper grinders from the supermarket are fine to use for camping or rentals, but they have inferior grind mechanisms made of acrylic. A standalone mill with sharp steel or ceramic grind mechanisms will be easier to crank and give you a much finer grind. Being able to refill your mill is another plus since you can control what kind of pepper you use, and this will also save you money in the long run.

Easy-to-fill chambers: Most pepper mills have relatively narrow openings for filling the grinder; this can make refilling a pain (though we have tips for making this process easier). Some models have pop-out chutes that can be refilled from the side, without needing to unscrew the top. Other models can be filled from the bottom under a screwed-on lid. But after testing these styles, we think traditional mills that allow you to remove the head to fill the shaft are the easiest to fill.

Since not everyone can use a traditional hand-crank pepper mill, we also looked at electric models. But the experts we spoke with were lukewarm about them. The chief complaints: They have slow output, are more prone to breaking, require batteries (up to six), and make considerably more noise during use. That said, some people with hand-strength issues or chronic hand pain may find an electric push-button pepper mill easier to operate. Electric mills can also be used with one hand, which can be beneficial for those with certain injuries or disabilities.

We tested pepper mills by adjusting their coarseness settings to various positions to see how consistently and evenly they could grind. We also gave our wrists a workout by seeing how long it took each grinder to crank out a teaspoon of pepper and whether the grind was concentrated or sprayed. Additionally, we checked to see the amount of peppercorns each model could hold. Using wet and oily hands, we gauged how difficult it would be to use the grinders in messy cooking situations.

It took the Peugeot an average of 40 half-turns to produce about one teaspoon of finely ground pepper, making this mill one of the fastest models we tested. The grinding mechanism crushes peppercorns in two steps: It first cracks and then grinds, to ensure that the maximum flavor and aroma are released. The grind is very consistent, with almost no peppercorn chunks on the finer settings and only a little dust on the coarser settings. The setting progressions are more subtle than with other models, but the dial locks them in place so no amount of knob twisting will change the setting.

Some of the Peugeot buyers on Amazon complain that larger peppercorns can jam the mill. However, we tested store-bought black peppercorns, as well as a mix of large, multi-colored peppercorns, and neither of these gave us any trouble.

The Trudeau Seville feels secure while turning, and it produces a teaspoon of finely ground pepper in about 50 half-turns (the Peugeot took about 40 half-turns). Though we prefer a taller size (which will hold more pepper), this mill still looks handsome on the table.

We found the simple stainless steel cover to be attractive enough for table use, but it was a bit slippery when we were working with messy hands in the kitchen. The slim, long body would be easy for small hands to grip, though this model (like all electric models we tested) is slightly top-heavy. The Eparé also comes with a cap to prevent pepper dust from dirtying your kitchen counter.

We had high hopes for the Cole & Mason Forest Capstan Pepper Mill, but it lacks a plastic guard to keep the center spindle in place. When it was filled, the peppercorns pushed the spindle out of position and made attaching the top of the pepper mill impossible.

We had a difficult time adjusting the grind settings on the Zassenhaus Berlin Pepper Grinder. The plastic twist knob used to adjust the grind settings easily clogged with pepper dust and made grinding inconsistent.

The Olde Thompson Senator pepper mill has a classic look at a great price. But when we loosened the nut at the top for coarser grinds, the top felt like it might fall off the body. This model was also a challenge to use with slippery hands due to its flatter top knob.

The OXO Good Grips Pepper Grinder has five grinding positions, but regardless of the setting, this model grinds pepper that is about the same coarseness. During our tests, some pepper dust got caught in the threading of the opening and jammed it shut (the only way to open it was with a pair of needle-nose pliers).

We were very disappointed with the Trudeau Graviti Plus, our previous top pick for an electric grinder. It has five grinding positions, but each produced coarsely ground pepper. This mill is not capable of producing a fine grind.

At United States Penitentiary Alcatraz (1934-1963), prisoners ate three meals a day in the dining hall. Filled with the entire prison population during mealtimes, the dining hall was considered the most dangerous place on Alcatraz. All tableware items used by inmates, including aluminum salt and pepper shakers, were made from metal. The reason was simple: ceramics and glassware could easily be broken into shards and turned into weapons.
