It's not the best picture. but you can see the grinder settings above the black band at the top.
I've been wanting a pepper grinder for a long time, but I haven't bought one because they're ridiculously expensive and I have no idea why. When I lived at home, my parents had an old pepper mill (and they still have it!) made out of wood. I always loved using it for some reason. I think I liked to be copy my dad; he loves pepper. Plus, it's just a cool thing to use.
Awhile back I bought the little bunny-shaped one that sticks on the side of the range hood, and it works just fine. And it's a bunny. C'mon. I posted about wanting a better one, but didn't have the money to spend at the time, nor did I want to spend $30.00+ on a non-essential item.
My cousin recently visited and what did she bring me? A new pepper mill! I like the little bunny, but this one is better. It's from OXO Good Grips. It grinds nice and smooth, and you actually get a decent amount of pepper out of it. It's like a peppery snowfall coming down on my food. It has five settings: I can grind it really course for more peppery bite, or I can grind it really fine, or somewhere in between. I also like that it's not flimsy or too bulky. What I also like is that the grinder is on top so when you put it down it's upright and doesn't leave pepper all over the counter.
A big thanks to my favorite cousin!!
(When I post something on my blog that I want, it has a habit of showing up when she visits. I wonder what I should post about next? Hmmm....maybe kittens.)
Over here we buy the pepper *in* the grinder at the supermarket. I also have one for Himalayan pink salt, and you can get one that grinds both together - I prefer separate myself. :) BTW thank you for posting about tiny kittens - we are both totally addicted in this household. :)
ReplyDeleteSo addictive, isn't it?? I love Tiny Kittens!
