Pepper is one of the most popular spices, which not only enhances 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, fizzle out over time and loses their taste, so the hostesses turned their eyes towards pepper mills. They allow you to get a fresh, aromatic seasoning just before cooking.
Instructions
Step 1
If you only use pepper out of the variety of spices, get a mill that is right for it. However, there are also universal options when you can also crush salt or scented herbs. Unlike the pepper-only options, these mills have powerful tines that can grind different types of spices.
Step 2
Pepper grinders are also manual and electric. In the first case, you yourself turn the mechanism of the device, forcing the prongs to grind the spice. In addition, you can control the amount of the resulting pepper, and the powder turns out to be 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 are faster, cheaper in price, but do not provide the ability to adjust the grinding.
Step 3
Pay attention to the material from 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 movement. 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 be using such a mill for a very long time. Wooden devices look very nice, but they absorb odors and oils, which significantly reduces the period of their use.
Step 4
If the design of the mill is of no small importance to you, choose a product based on the color performance of the entire kitchen and its stylistic solution. For example, if the walls and headsets are made in black and white, the steel appliance will perfectly fit into this ensemble. But for lovers of natural materials, a model painted under a tree, or even a rare specimen, is perfect.
