Oak Wood Pepper Mill Grinder with Adjustable Ceramic Core

Solid wood that looks as good as it grinds

• Solid oak with ringed grooves

  The body is honey-brown solid oak with turned ring grooves that give your fingers something to hold. It is heavy enough to feel planted on the table and smooth enough to pick up with one hand while you cook. Real wood also looks warmer on the counter than plastic does.

• Ceramic core, adjustable grind

  The ceramic core sits inside the mill and grinds with steady pressure. Turn the polished stainless knob to move from coarse to fine, then grind with one hand. Coarse for steak, fine for salad, and you can switch between dishes in seconds.

• Fresh on the steak and salad

  Pepper falls onto seared steak and a green salad, which is the everyday payoff of having a mill in reach. Season after the sear, right before the knife goes in, and the crust stays sharp. The same mill handles the salad, eggs and grill-side burgers.

Turn once to season, adjust to suit the plate

1. 1
   Fill with dry peppercorns

   Pour dry whole peppercorns or dry spices into the body. Keep the mill away from steam and wet hands, since moisture can slow the ceramic core.

2. 2
   Set the knob

   Turn the stainless knob to your coarseness before you grind. Coarse suits steak and burgers, fine suits salad and eggs.

3. 3
   Grind one-handed over the plate

   Hold the body in one hand and turn the top. Grind from a short distance so the pepper lands where you want it.

4. 4
   Wipe dry after use

   Wipe the oak with a dry cloth. Do not leave it in a wet sink, since solid wood can swell or warp when it soaks.

From a flat jar to a warm wooden mill

The jar that tastes like dust

Most of us keep a jar of pre-ground pepper in the cupboard and never think about it. By the time the steak comes off the grill, that dust has lost its bite. Cheap plastic mills make it worse, with grind sizes that change from one turn to the next.

Wood, ceramic, and one hand

A solid oak body holds the ceramic grind core, and the stainless knob on top sets how coarse the pepper comes out. You hold it in one hand, turn, and the pepper drops onto the plate. The core cracks each peppercorn to a steady size, so the second turn tastes like the first.

Every plate, seasoned fresh

Steak comes off the grill, the salad goes on the table, and the mill is already within reach. A few turns over each plate and the meal tastes like it was planned. The mill stays out on the table because it looks right there.
