OK, me three. Turkish grinders work very well and give a fine grind. You won't need to buy a Zassenhaus though - they are about $80 these days. A good Greek model should do just fine.
I knew I liked you! (NTTIAWWT) Sounds like something Alton Brown would do.
I use a brass Turkish Coffee grinder. Same type as Jeff Smith an old chef who was on tv used. Bought it in 2003 for about $30 dollars at a store called World Market.
I also use one of those grinders and also got it at World market. Great for a few tablespoons of pepper...
When I need a bunch of fresh ground pepper, like when making up rubs, I use a burr type coffee mill I picked up several years ago for like $15. This is the one I have.
For table use and stuff, we just use the regular old wooden pepper mill...

Look for a grinder that has ceramic grinding elements. They will out last steel and give a more consistant grind. The Trudeau brand is very nice and they have both steel and ceramic elements.
Ditto on that... I bought mine back when he was still on the air (late 80's early 90's) and it works like a champ!!!I use a brass Turkish Coffee grinder. Same type as Jeff Smith an old chef who was on tv used. Bought it in 2003 for about $30 dollars at a store called World Market.
Thats after I went through several cheaper ones. This one has a crank like an old mechanical pencil sharpener. I can adjust the grind size by adjusting the screw on the bottom of the mill.
Three cheers for the magnum plus!
I own the Unicorn Magnum and love it. I also carry the small one in my pocket for restraunt use. .......NUTZ
the unicorn magnum plus is on my list... i just need to get it in gear and make a few clicks!
Yep, thats the one I purchased also. Mine works great but isnt quite as shiney as yours. Awesome machine.
Thanks guys.
I'm leaning towards the Magnum for general cooking and maybe
getting a cheap burr grinder for rubs.
Just a thought.
Does anyone think that it is really necessary to use freshly ground pepper
in a rub that will not be completely used and have to be stored?
Are you sure this is the right thread for you guys?
i ordered the magnum plus on sunday. should be here today i hope. my sous chef betty is beside herself! :twisted:
i use a krups coffee grinder sometimes :biggrin:
