If you buy crushed black pepper, stop immediately. There is a world of difference between store bought pre-ground pepper and freshly cracked pepper, which is MUCH more aromatic and very tasty.

This is a nice pepper mill and salt shaker set, pretty enough to put on the table, but also very functional, and not just decorative. The pepper mill grinds pepper to a fine, even consistency. It will hold about 3 heaped tablespoons of black pepper, but you don't want to put more than 1 in the pepper mill at a time. Keep the remainder in an air-tight container at room temperature until ready to use.

You can measure the amount of pepper you dispense (20 cranks of the handle equals half a teaspoon), or just sprinkle it directly on top of whatever. The matching salt shaker does not have grinding parts (which would have been nice for crushing rock salt), but works fine with kosher table salt.

I like stainless steel because I think it looks nice, and resists scratches.

the item looks metallic but is actually all plastic and has a cheapish feel to it. Not quite as attractive as depicted.
