When I have the chance, I prefer sea salt over regular salt. You don’t seem to need as much and the different varieties of sea salts available can add a different flavor to your dish. I’ve only recently started using fresh cracked pepper corns as well.
I wanted a nice looking reusable salt and pepper grinder that would be durable but easy to use with the kids. We’re slowly converting the things in our kitchen to stainless steel as thing break or get worn out. I had the chance to review the Ozeri Duo Ultra Salt and Pepper Mill and Grinder, Stainless Steel I like that it’s a 2 in 1 kitchen item so it will save a little space. I don’t have much storage space and counters in my kitchen so every little bit helps.
The bottom lid actually doubles as a funnel to help fill your salt and pepper shaker. The one complaint I had about this is that there is a sliding piece on this part and it was very stiff when I first took it out of the box. I tried hard to slide it over and I couldn’t get it. I even used a flat head screw driver to try to get it started. I finally handed it to my husband and he was able to get it after working at it for a minute. After the initial trial I was able to slide it back and forth with little effort.

My son wanted to try it first. I had made some edamame as a side dish with dinner and he wanted to add a little salt to it. When you turn the handle one way it dispenses the salt, the opposite direction is the pepper. The salt tumbled out pretty fast and it was a bit messy but after the initial use and a little tweaking, it worked fine as well.
This is very cool. I love sea salt but I’ve never used the fresh cracked pepper corns. I hated pepper as a kid but I’ve noticed that as I’ve gotten older I pepper a lot of my foods. I love that this is a dual grinder.
I have been wanting to get a pepper grinder. Thank you for the review!
I love that it is a duo grinder! Especially when I’m needing to add either one when I’m cooking and searching for both shakers!
