Why would you mill salt

>>16125737
Showing the whole peppercorns is shameful. They are supposed to hide away and stay secret.

>>16125737
I don't get the point for salt, but a pepper mill is great if you enjoy pepper with flavor, and not dust and ash...

>>16125744
Coarse salt needs to be crushed or milled.

>>16125765
Just buy fine salt and flakes like most people

>>16125744
I have a mill with coarse sea salt. Works for finishing stuff.

>>16125812
How about you try finishing me off for once?

Just don't get one with a plastic grinder in it

>>16125737

what a garbage OP title. grind yerself ya prick.

Sometimes you need fine salt for baking and whatnot.

>>16125737
Get a Peugeot set. The adjustable type is best.

>>16125737
Just splurge on a giant wooden pepper mill, it's worth the novelty and is a talking point when guests come over and you pull out the 3 ft pepper mill.

>>16126861
>3 ft pepper mill
What does that mean in civilised measurements?

This is one of two non troll replies so far

Magnum pepper grinder

>>16126756
just buy it

>>16125765
>>16125812
Just get a pair of salt nips and clip as much as you need off the salt loaf.

>>16126981
If you don't live in a Commonwealth nation, you're far from civilised.

I cut my hand to shit once, when i lost my temper and smacked one of those down hard on the table and it shattered.

>Based or cringe?
Someone who asks this probably can’t afford a quality pair of mills, so you should probably just buy the pre-filled disposable plastic ones until you can.

>>16125785
>just buy multiple forms of salt
Or I can buy my preferred salt in coarse form, and grind it to whatever size I want.

>>16125737
i bought these because it can grind large quantities of salt or pepper very fast, and can add small quarter-turn grinds with one hand. Ceramic grinder has not rounded down, and it grinds salt a little fast for the table but just warn guests that like three rotations is a teaspoonful.

salt mills work better in theory than in practice. It's pretty hard to properly adjust the coarseness of the salt and they tend to clog

Peugeot makes the best pepper mills, but buy a standard one, not the ones with the "u-select" mechanism. those are a bit tricky to adjust.
Cole & Mason also makes a few decent models, but it's chink made stuff

that already looks broken. i want to beat you into oblivion

>>16128378
plz dont, im enjoying my ikea peppermill too much

Ok serious question: how do you grind these? Can anyone recommend a big grinder with a BIG millling part?

>>16129060
absolutely

>>16129183
You mean you do recommend a big grinder for that purpose? Anything specific? I currently tried to put them in a regular peppercorn grinder but they don't grind at all, they're really big and hard. They just bounce around and don't go down into the grinding teeth. My current method is to put them in a plastic bag and smash them up into smaller chunks with a hammer before putting them in there, but it's annoying and makes a lot of noise

>>16129060
why would you want to grind that shit pine trees drop?

>>16129060
Peugeot makes a model specifically for that.
But I've never tried this kind of pepper. Couldn't you just cut it in smaller pieces before putting it in a standard mill?

>>16125737
Salt, no. Pepper, yes.

>>16127879
Shut the fuck up, bitch.

>>16125746
pretty lewd huh

>>16127239
yeeeenanana
we use metric cunt

>>16125737
Any good pepper mills that have caps/can be sealed from air? I'm autistic about keeping my spices in airtight environments. For now I grind pepper in my mortar and pestle.

>>16128368
What's difficult about the u-select? I dislike mills that adjust with the top screw since they always come loose, but I've never had a nice one like that and avoided it on the peugeot based on that.

>>16129727
I don't know if they improved it in the meantime, but I bought one of the very first u-select models like 15 years ago. you can't actually adjust the setting as easily and smoothly by twisting the base because of the peppercorn still in the grinding mechanism opposing the movement (especially when you want to tighten it for a finer grind). I actually prefer the classic models even if the top screw comes loose every now and then.

>>16129727
>>16129778
oh, and the u-select models have both the twisting sleeve AND the top screw to adjust the coarseness.

Damn, I tried to buy this but it's out of stock on their website. Did you guys find it somewhere else?

>>16125737
My only advice is to buy one that's long enough to easily fit both hands, I bought a small ish one (~6 inches long) and really couldn't twist it because I was holding it with one hand and one finger of the other hand, really fucking annoying so I just tossed it. The one in your pic would suck ass unless you're a child.

>>16125737
Well.

>>16129060
i grind them in mortar, but if you are making a stew just throw them in whole and pick them when finished

Grinders were invented to scam people.
Take the mortar and pestle pill.

>>16131104
no, they are impractical for peper and quick meals

>>16131072
It's actually pretty good for the price. You can adjust how fine or coarse you want the pepper. The mill is actually some kind of stone.

Will get another one for salt next time I go the store, and some others to give as gift.

>>16130992
no problem Jack

>>16125737
It doesn't, Peugeot mills if you want to splurge I guess

>>16130992
JACK! You fucker!

>>16125737
Walmart sells a refillable mill that looks exactly like OP's pic. The grind coarseness is adjustable and they're like $5. Would recommend.
