grinding pepper

Mornin'Jan,

A coffee mill will do fine and Walmart usually carries a usable inexpensive one.

If you have a food processor or blender that has those little jars for baby food,you can do up a small batch with them.

One other approach is to lay them on your cutting board and mash them out with the bottom of an iron skillet.

Hope this helps a little.

I have seen electric pepper mills in some of the cooking sections, and they were not that expensive. My sister-in-law runs a catering business and has several.......

Had the same problem. Did some research, Cooks Illustrated helped.....Ended up buying the Unicorn Magnum. High volume adjustable grinding. Three years later still going strong I bought it online directly from the maker. Here is a link I found from another source. Terrific product. http://www.pricetool.com/Cooking_com_Unicorn_Magnum_Plu...ls_MagnumPlus?sp=ipt

Hey Jan,

The Unicorn Magnum is the Cadillac of hand grinders IMO,if you are still looking for a hand grinder.

I use at a little higher level,so I use alternatives.

Coffee grinder....works well for lots of spices. 'Cracked' pepper to finely ground; cumin seeds, whole chiles etc. etc.

The only way to fly if you need more than what you put on your salad.
