What Others Say
Think Again
Loved the product when I got it because of ease of use. I broke both my hands several times, so I don't have much strength in them. I bought Chef'n Pepper Ball, Clear 8/08, it broke 10/08. I use cracked pepper in everything, the one "ear" is not made for continuous heavy use, it snapped. I was not rough with it as I don't have the strengthin my hands, but it did get heavy use. If you are a light user I would highly recommend this. If your a heavy user, forget it.
For as long as it lasted
It was a great grinder as long as it lasted. I used a couple of weeks and the stationary handle snapped off. It still works if I hold the ball and move the brind handle, but I'll be looking for a new grinder.
Good pepper mill, but only for tableside
Since the amount of pepper released per press is so low, I think this is only good for use on a table.
If you use it for cooking and want to grind large amounts, prepare to exercise your grip :).
Guess the Grind
Pepper grind is a mixture of barely cracked and dust. One crank grinds a miniscule amount of pepper, taking at least half a minute just to season a pot of soup. Compare this to the similarly-priced, but now out-of-production OXO grinder, which took a few quick turns of the crank.
It's pretty good if you under-season everything you cook. I bought one and now I am sad.
good pepper grinder
The ball pepper grinder works well and with its variable grinds is versatile in the kitchen. I really like mine and use it all the time. I highly recommend it.
