ATK’s Feed recently published some helpful tips on managing a pepper mill. Most cooks have learned the mantra that freshly ground pepper is much more flavorful than preground, but that still doesn’t mean that pepper mills are especially user friendly. Here are some tricks to making them a bit more useful (check out the article, 3 Terrific Pepper Mill Tricks, for illustrations):
- Premeasure the grind – know in advance how many grinds it takes to generate a 1/4 teaspoon of pepper (ATK suggests putting a tape with that info right on the mill).
- Before you use it, cover it with plastic wrap (cheap sandwich bags work especially well) to keep it clean.
- Don’t leave the mill on the counter since it will drop excess grind – put it on a small plate or dish to keep the pepper from spreading out.
