Hot Pepper Mill

The Peppermate may be the most convenient pepper mill around. It has a large capacity for peppercorns, there’s a removable container on the bottom (handy when you have to measure freshly ground pepper) and you operate it by turning a big key on the side, not by that clumsy technique of twisting the top around.

The Peppermate, $49.95 plus shipping, from Professional Cutlery Direct, (800) 859-6994.
