Spec me some salt & pepper grinders

[pepp77]

I have a KitchenGet set - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01AT4T4S0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - been in daily use for 4 years and still work as well as the day I bought them. I had gone through many sets previously that never lasted, but these I love.

Struggled for years with rubbish ones that would break after a year or so before finding these, got a salt and pepper one. Flawless operation, look great and good as the day we bought them. They'll now break tomorrow I'm sure

Do you like leaving a bit of salt/pepper on the table wherever you sit these down, you absolute barbarian?

That was my only gripe with these nicer looking ones, was the salt/pepper dispenser at the bottom always lets out a dribble of the contents each time you set them down.

Got some Peugeot ones and they're great.

My horde and I tend to just lick the remnants off the table at the end of the meal. Just lol if you aren't valuing aesthetics over practicality.

Haha, I can appreciate the horde comment. Strictly straight lines and prescription lenses here

One of the things I like about mine is the output is at the top. I also like the fact mine has a hooded top, so you can grind into itself to get say a teaspoon amount to tip out of the top.

We've had these Oxo Good Grips salt and pepper grinders for over a year and I just saw 'fine black pepper' on the shopping list.

I questioned this and it seems when my lad has pepper in tuna, he finds it a bit coarse. I showed them how to adjust the grinder from fine grain up to small pebble size.

Now it's been crossed off the shopping list.

Still love these salt and pepper grinders, we get through more pepper than salt but they're just much nicer to use the the old ones. I might even get a set of these for my daughter who's recently moved out.

With the cost of pepper now - usually just banging grinder on the heel of the hand knocks the final dregs out, ours are USA wm bounds brand,
it's annoying that they don't dissassemble to clean the burrs, which have perhaps degraded their grind quality - approaching 20 years in.
Bulk purchased last peppercorns from Bezos : hmmm - those unusually thick glass/plastic jars in the supermarkets

I'd say mashed swede is the most heavy pepper user.

Pleased that my comment brought you joy for a second time, more than a year after the first

was that post so good you had to reply to it twice, a year apart!

edit: beaten like the proverbial ginger step-child!

I really don't give much of a toss myself, as they all seem to work fine enough for the task.
But the wife went nuts over some new Le Creusset ones in pink and blue*, with ceramic grinding parts, so if she's geeking out over them like I do with computers, then I presume they're pretty good....


*Pink for Pepper, blue for sea salt... very important, apparently.
