What kind of pepper grinder is good?

Pepper grinder, at first glance, it is estimated that many people will be dumbfounded. In fact, as long as you pay attention to foreigners' movies, or eat in western restaurants, after serving the main course, the waiter often takes a long wooden bobbin and asks if you want to add some freshly ground black pepper. This spool, which is a bit like a baseball bat, is a pepper grinder.

If you look a little closer, it is not difficult to find that almost all their brands are Peugeot. The word "Peugeot" here is only a transliteration of "Peugeot". It was originally a French surname, which had nothing to do with the word "Peugeot" in China. I just called in the car and used it.

Peugeot built a car, starting from1890; However, the manufacture of pepper grinder began at 1842 (the time of obtaining patent) or even earlier. At first, Peugeot just wanted to simply transfer the hand saw technology and quality that it has always been proud of to the pepper grinder. But later, it designed the classic Z-shaped mechanical structure in the patent, which is basically used today and the design has hardly changed. This also creates a classic example of keeping the original design for nearly 200 years in product design.

Peugeot pepper grinder has a simple structure, which is a hollow barrel with a metal gear-like grinding center at the bottom. The shaft of the grinding center is connected with the handle at the end of the long barrel, and the pepper is ground through the grinding center at the bottom. Simple enough, but easy to make people cry.

Because of its simple structure, the quality of pepper grinder mainly depends on materials, accuracy and details.

There are hundreds of choices of materials for the grinder, ranging from glass, stainless steel and copper to ceramics, logs and even silver, and the prices are also different. Ji Zijun recommended logs, with natural wood, and grinding natural peppers is very suitable. Peugeot's wood mill uses beech wood made in France, carefully selected by hand, and polished into a waist-like shape, which is smooth and simple, and comfortable to hold in your hand, just like a thin waist and a light palm.

The grinding center is usually made of stainless steel alloy, and Peugeot is no exception. The difference is that Peugeot's grinding center is permeated with its traditional exquisite hand saw technology, which is wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant. It claims to be never damaged and guaranteed for life, but it does not include rust. This also reminds us that it is best not to grind salt with pepper grinder (sea salt grinder only has a 20-year warranty)! Because the grinding devices in the two are different. Don't touch the water

Accuracy determines the fate of simple objects. For example, shaving blades, although simple, belong to the category of finishing. At present, it is impossible to continuously grind 1 10,000 blades with cutting force below 12 Newton in China. For the same pepper grinder, Peugeot can make the grinding center, rod and nut in a straight line, ensuring accurate and uniform stress, effortless grinding and easy to adjust the size through the bottom. As for the general grinder, you can only look at its eyes.

Another proud detail of Peugeot's grinder is its grinding device. From the beginning to the present, the solid steel gear grinder inside is hand carved. And the lower end is also attached with six kinds of thickness adjustment, which is very practical, and the general pepper grinder does not have this function.

Grind black pepper with this product, especially put it on a delicious steak, turn it gently, and the pepper with uniform thickness will be sprinkled one after another, giving off a rich fragrance, which makes people salivate and seems to have a sense of ceremony. It's cool!

The most fragrant is the charm of freshly ground pepper, which can also ensure the authenticity of the seasoning! This is because pepper contains a small amount of aromatic oil, which is constantly volatile, and the longer it lasts, the weaker it becomes (it is best not to put too much pepper in the grinder to avoid losing its fragrance). Friends who have doubts about the use of grinding machines can dispel their doubts.

How big is the grinder? This depends on personal habits. Extreme Jun likes the kind that is 18cm long, with neither too much nor too little pepper. When turning the grinder, it is also handy.

What westerners pay attention to in diet is that even if food is served, there are still grinders, decanters and other utensils on the table to enhance the taste. And the more exquisite the restaurant, the more it likes to use wood, which is particularly nostalgic. For Ji Zijun, it is customary to put two Peugeot grinders on the dining table: one grinding salt (Ji Zijun once recommended it with Himalayan rock salt) and the other grinding pepper, each with its own beauty. Chinese food and western food are all right.
