Pepper Mills

[WayneJ]

I'm a pepper lover and I like it fresh.
26 years ago, my in-laws bought my wife and I a small moulin a poivre (that's french for pepper mill) for our first anniversary. I didn't appreciate it right away, but I've come to love it more with each passing year. Made by the Brothers Peugeot and it produces a great grind, with loads of range from coarse to fine. Over the years, we bought two more. One dedicated to the dining room table, one to the stove top and one little favorite for special pepper.

My little fave


Little Fave's working end (best quality mill ever)


Peugeot made some nice bikes, but their mills are really nice. If you don't own one, treat yourself to one soon.


Take advantage of a relatively inexpensive way to increase your enjoyment of pepper and food. A warning ... you will put pepper on everything. I tried it on chilled peaches once and it was really interesting. Your results may vary.

Happy Holidays,
WayneJ

Almost bought a Peugeot yesterday....have gone through a series of cheap ones with mixed results. Had I read this before shopping yesterday I would have pulled the trigger.

A man after my own heart. A few yrs. back we gave mom a Peugot salt mill. Nearly the same thing really.

Toots,

That salt mill looks a lot like my camping coffee mill, shown here:

Apologies for the confusion. We bought mom a wood Peugot salt mill similar to your pepper mill, really it is the daughter product. That brass job is an Atlas pepper mill. I've heard they were orig. designed to grind coffee.

Pepper grinders and toasters, what the he!! You can spend forever finding the right thing.

In the Stop and Shop, or Piggly Wiggly near you. I use it all the time, fresh cracked...

Small enough so the corns are fresh for 6 months or so.

I have a pepper-mill that looks just like this with a bowl on the bottom to receive the freshly ground. I bought in in Istanbul last Fall. there is no name brand on it but I looked at about a hundred of them before choosing one. This makes the perfect grind. The cheap ones over there are everywhere.

Doug I have that exact same grinder. I reckon they were originally designed as coffee mills. It has served me well for 20 yrs.

never even thought of it, but the way they use coffee, it makes sense. Perhaps I will give that a try.

Good Lord, you guys are another level. I buy a big box of kosher salt and put in a jar because the box spout pisses me off. A handful here, a finger or two there depending and I'm good. Grinding to the desired flake? It's salt! It's a basic nutrient! I'll take it as I get it and let it sing in the chorus.

In a crowd of folks who glue tires up for training rides and discuss where to send pots for tinning... grinding salt to the correct crystal size seems like small beans.

This thread bump caused me to look up Vic Firth grinders. I adore my rolling pin. Turns out they sold the culinary stuff to a small Maine company, Maine Wood Concepts. And while I actually do trust the quality is still tops... I have to admit I did find significant allure in having the Vic Firth stamp on the gear to match my collection of drum sticks (one of which I got signed when Mr. Firth came to watch our rehearsal /brag).

We’ve had this French pair for a while...pepper grinder only.

Seconding Too Tall’s Magnum Plus - an awesome pepper mill, fully adjustable grind, huge capacity, and flawless every time you use it. Cannot go wrong!

I haven't tweaked TT in a while, but this should do it:
