Hi Chef John.
What size mill and what kind of peppercorn did you get?
I'm going to finally buy a pepper mill and peppercorns after I finish the last of giant plastic carton of preground stuff that we've had for about 3 years. I only have a few more weeks worth of it left.
I was planning on getting this from Peugeot, but I'm debating what size is appropriate (is 7" capacity enough):

that was recommended from this shootout:

I don't know what kind I should start out with.

I just use the disposable ones and it's still a huge upgrade. Most are adjustable.
Robert King
buying coarse sea salt and grinding it is pretty key too
obviously there's no difference in freshness but controlling the size of the grind literally makes everything better
Nolan Evans
Is there really such a disparity in granule size among salt?
I haven't noticed any uniformity issues with my table an kosher salts.
Kayden Gutierrez
Freshly ground peppercorns are fucking elder god tier, nothing else even compares.
Landon Reed
Are there any spices that AREN'T dramatically better freshly ground?
I'll never fucking go back to pre-ground nutmeg. It's like night and day.

Well, salt is salt, so it only really comes down to how it's absorbed. Obviously, the smaller the granules the faster it absorbs, the faster it absorbs the better it spreads out in the food. The bigger the granules the more it'll stay where it is. This is key for when you salt to flavor your dish or if it's to make a show of it, IE. A steak with a salt crust, vs a hamburger that has been salted. There are a variety of salts that are designed for how they look and feel before absorption like Fleur de Sel de Guérande for instance. These salts are used for presentation as well as flavor.
Something to note, almost all salt you get today is sea salt just more refined. Exceptions being when they say otherwise.

Huh, interesting.
Nicholas White
This. There have been $1 disposable pepper mills for years now
Joshua Scott
This is objectively wrong. The only reason to use coarse salt is if you want something to have a straight-salt texture in which case you might as well just use the coarse salt straight.

Please, user, have a seat. We need to talk.

Black pepper is used to hide the taste of poor quality meat. Black pepper is also bad for your health.
Luis Perez
That day my friend from hungary brought me some paprika from her local market. Like it literally made me want to move to Hungary and endure the bleakness of central europe just to be able to taste that taste regularly.
Also, if you want to step up your black pepper game, try putting a couple tablespoons of whole black peppers in cheesecloth or a tea strainer and popping it in whatever fluid you are braising, stewing, poaching or boiling.

Yfw people don't realize most of the cheap pepper powder is loaded with coal dust

What if all preground spices are actually shit? What if the smoked paprika that I use is actually crap but I don't even know it because I've never had freshly ground paprika?
Blake Baker
They ARE all shit
Brayden Jenkins
you say it's objectively wrong then go on to explain how it's not
good job
