Pepper is one of the most popular spices, which not only improves the taste of dishes, giving them piquancy and pungency, but also has a positive effect on health. Pre-chopped peppers, sold already packaged in bags, expire after a while and lose their taste, so the housewives turned their eyes to the pepper mills. They allow you to get a fresh aromatic seasoning just before cooking.

Instruction manual
1
If you use only pepper from the whole variety of spices, get a mill that is suitable for him. However, there are universal options when you can also crush salt or fragrant herbs. Unlike pepper-only options, such mills have powerful tines that can grind different types of spices.
2
Pepper grinders are also manual and electric. In the first case, you yourself rotate the mechanism of the device, forcing the teeth to grind the spice. In addition, you can control the amount of pepper obtained, and the powder is finer. The best are the models with a double row of teeth, which securely fix the peas at the bottom, which allows you to grind the pepper completely. Mills powered by electricity operate faster, cheaper in price, but do not provide the ability to regulate grinding.
3
Pay attention to the material of which the device is made. Inexpensive devices have plastic knives or millstones, which significantly reduces both the quality of grinding and their service life. Therefore, give preference to models with a stainless steel mechanism. It is good if the handle of the product and its body are also made of steel or ceramic, and not plastic, because you will use such a mill for a very long time. Wooden devices look very beautiful, but absorb odors and oils, which significantly reduces the period of their use.

If the design of the mill is of no small importance to you, choose a product based on the color design of the entire kitchen and its stylistic solution. For example, if the walls and headsets are made in black and white, a steel device will fit perfectly into this ensemble. But for lovers of natural materials, a model painted like wood, or even a rare copy, is perfect.
