Guide Note:
Pepper Grinders, also called pepper mills are devices designed to grind fresh pepper from whole peppercorns. Pepper Grinders were found in European kitchens in the 14th century, but the mortar and pestle used earlier, remained a popular method for centuries after. For freshness, only keep a small amount in your pepper grinder. Pepper grinders are available in various materials such as plastic, wood, or metal, and come in all different shapes and sizes. Good pepper grinders can be adjusted to produce fine or coarse grinds.
