Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Unlike most pepper mills, which require two hands to operate, this novelty grinder sprinkles fresh ground pepper with a one-handed squeeze. The Pepper Ball's durable round plastic body holds about 2 ounces of peppercorns--it comes filled with the first batch--and is clear so you can see when you're running out. Two ergonomically designed grips poke out of the top, allowing you to simply grab and squeeze to season food (two squeezes produce about 1/8 teaspoon of pepper). There's a dial at the base for adjusting the grind from fine to coarse, and a hatch door on the side of the ball's body for refilling. This great invention makes cooking much more convenient--you can easily stir your slow-cooking tomato sauce with one hand and season with the other. --Cristina Vaamonde

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent ground pepper, January 3, 2001

This grinder provides a decent amount of ground pepper. Contrary to the other reviewers, I find the size of the ground pepper to be fine -- it is obviously larger than the ground pepper that you're going to find in stores, but that's what you want from fresh ground pepper!

Two words of warning: First, the pepper that comes with this product isn't very flavorful. You may want to replace it immediately with better peppercorns. Whether this is due to the mill sitting for a while waiting for you or something else, I don't know. But just be warned. Second: it's bigger than you may think. The ball is easily between three and four inches wide, and the handles go up a good distance -- maybe five inches. Don't think of this as the size of a normal pepper shaker (the pictures make it hard to see how big it is)

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun and handy but could grind a little finer, June 24, 2000

I love the convenience of the pepper ball. You can't beat one-handed grinding! My only gripe is that I can't grind the pepper to a fine dust like I can with my tall wooden old-style two handed grinder.

4.0 out of 5 stars to refill, May 10, 2002

This review is from: Chef'n Pepper Ball with Black Handles (Kitchen)

hold peppermillball black handles down(chef'n logo facing you)
you should be looking at a vertical rectangle.With your thumb,slide it up (this may take some force). You should be looking at a little square opening.Please be aware that the manufacture taped and shrink wrapped this thing alot.For me it wasn't easy to see or feel,so please look carefully,and remove all of it.It's a great product and conversation piece.
