Do you love your pepper grinder?

[wearychef]

Hi. I have a Trudeau pepper grinder that was once pretty good but is now more of a pepper cracker than grinder. If you have one you love, please tell me about it!

Thanks so much,

Andi

Wish I could help, but the only one I have I don't like - it's one of those old fashioned wood ones and it about breaks your hand just turning it. I'm sure the blades or whatever is in it are dull. I'd really like to find a good one that works the way I think it should.

Maybe someone out there can give us both a recommendation.

Yes I love mine! I have an Oxo Good Grips grinder bought at Bed Bath and Beyond ~ it's also available at Amazon.com. I also have the grinder for salt!

I have several. One was a gift ages ago from a guy I knew in high school. It was one of the most thoughtful gifts I've ever received, outside of my husband. It's a tall, wooden one that fancy restaurants used. I don't use it anymore, just keep it safe.
The ones I use:
Acrylic salt & pepper mill combo I use this the most because I can adjust the size of the pepper grinds. The salt doesn't grind, so it's filled with fine ground sea salt.


This was a gift from my mom (in red) and I love it especially when my hands are having a flare up of fibro or RA. It takes D batteries, so it's a bit heavy, but not anything noticeable.

And I have a separate salt grinder, but I don't like it because you can't alter the grind (even though the instructions say you can), and it's always dumping out large grinds and too much salt at once. I only use it for things like soups or sauces that will get hot enough to melt the salt. And I go really easy with it, since it's easy to get way too much salt!
