Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Chef'n Pepper Ball, Clear
Customer Review: Great idea, bad execution.
Summary: 2 Stars
These look great stove-side but they clog and really don't grind pepper well at all. I always toss this down in frustration and pick up my standard mill off the table. Nice idea but lousy execution. They could not have possibly tested this product for any length of time before they produced it. I fat fingered a star and should have only given this one for esthetics.Customer Review: Grinds very coarsely, kind of flimsy
Summary: 2 Stars
I had one of these for about six months until the movable squeeze-lever snapped off at the base. I got the pepper ball because I thought it'd be easier to use than a mill (since it's one-handed) and Ming Tsai uses something similar. Sadly, this is a rather cheaply-made device. It actually takes quite a bit more effort to grind with this thing than with a conventional peppermill. And the fragments it produces are very coarse -- even at the finest setting. If you only occasionally do dishes that call for cracked peppercorns, this might be an okay device. But if you're looking for a peppermill alternative to use regularly, keep looking.Customer Review: Handle broke, grind too coarse
Summary: 2 Stars
I thought a one-handed pepper grinder would be great for cooking, but I was never able to get the grind adjusted, and you don't get enough ground pepper per squeeze, and now one of the handles has snapped off. I won't be getting another one of these.
The salt grinder version is fine, though.
Customer Review: Handy product
Summary: 5 Stars
I like the Chef'n Salt and Pepper grinders very much. I have both of the large versions of the Salt and Pepper Balls, and also the mini-sizes. Being able to grind salt or pepper with one hand is convenient, and the control of the ground product is a plus. I'd definitely buy them again.
Customer Review: I've dropped them in the pot TWICE.
Summary: 2 Stars
Sure...could be OPERATOR ERROR. I accept that. But twice now, I've dropped the blasted salt grinder in the pot or pan I was cooking in. It was a gift, but I'd imagine this thing will go to Goodwill soon.
