I mean for $200 let’s mill that bitch out of a solid block of Ti and give it tungsten carbide burrs…okay that’s probably a $1000 kitchen status symbol.
- gkop 5y agoA grinder has at least two significant features missing from a mortar and pestle: you have easy control over the fineness of the grind, and you can measure rough quantity in number of turns. Plus a grinder is generally handier for a bit of pepper on this or that.
- Bud 5y agoI've actually used a mortar and pestle to prepare huge quantities of pepper for evenly coating a 17-pound prime rib, so I can answer that. First, if you use a mortar and pestle, peppercorns will randomly fly out. This is not convenient. Second, it will take you a long-ass time. This is also not convenient. Third, you will have basically no control over evenness of grind/crush. And that evenness helps. I know the $200 will make many folks blanche, but I'm telling you, that all melts away once you use this thing. :)
