relatively easy to restock The only issue I had was that the divots are shallow, making it difficult to get a good grip on the cap to turn and tighten it. However, it is relatively simple to fill!
Long-term effects are unknown - I've had this exact model for several years and only had to replace it when the grinder mechanism failed.
Selected User Reviews For OXO Good Grips Contoured Mess-Free Pepper Grinder
I didn't want to use peppercorns from China because it was made in China. I emptied them and sanitized the grinder. The peppercorns were too large to fit through the upper part of the grinder after being refilled with Costco peppercorns. br>At first, the ease of adjusting the grind made it appear to be a good grinder. br>I got a full refund when I returned it.
This grinder is fantastic! I used to have the previous stainless steel cased Oxo model, which was fine, but there were only three grind sizes, none of which were even close to accurate, and it couldn't grind finely at all. This one, I'm happy to report, has no such issues! All of the size selections are accurate, and it grinds beautifully. It's not quite as attractive as the stainless steel version, but it's nice enough to keep around without looking tacky. It's a little pricey, but it does the job so well that I'm satisfied with the price. Oxo items are typically a few dollars more expensive than their competitors, but the quality of their products is exceptional. They also do a great job of honoring their commitments to those who are close to them. Material and workmanship flaws are covered by a one-year universal warranty. I guess we'll have to wait and see how well this thing holds up over time, but for now it appears to be pretty solid.
OXO appears to have a firm grasp on the thoughtful design of everyday kitchen tools, and this pepper grinder is no exception. It's already filled (which I wasn't expecting), so you can use it right away. It's incredibly simple to adjust the grind size - There will be no tampering with the ratcheted grinder mechanism. It's as simple as setting the appropriate grind with the lever on the bottle's side. It keeps everything "backwards" - Down the handle, up the grinding mechanism - As a result, there isn't any clutter on the counter. br>br>The ONLY problem I had (and it was minor) - The "inner" seal of the handle end must be unscrewed to refill it. That's the easy part - now it's time to work on the more difficult parts. It will take some fiddling to get it set correctly so you can screw it back in, but with practice, you should be able to do so. It's not good enough to take away a star - It's still a five-star rating. As far as I'm concerned, this is a five-star item. br>br>Would not hesitate to recommend. It'll undoubtedly be a hit.
This device is simple to grasp and use.
Most salt grinders corrode because salt corrodes metals, but the oxo's ceramic grinders do not react to salt and provide me with a range of fine to coarse grinds. Although the price appears to be a little high, you'll end up buying a dozen cheap grinders to save $5 when you could get the oxo and never need another grinder (except as a gift).
Not mess- free. I'll use this pepper grinder because I bought it and it works, but I had hoped to fall in love with it because it's an Oxo product. "OXO Good Grips 32180 Pepper Mill" is something I'd like to see Oxo bring back. It lasted 8 years and I had a great time with it - Then I got a replacement, the nearly identical "OXO Good Grips 32180 Pepper Mill," but the bottom "cap" wouldn't stay on, and it only lasted four months. 5 years before the grinder was discontinued. br>Those two previous Oxo models had a bottom "cap" to prevent pepper from falling out between uses (the original mess-maker). free? The cap was appealing to me because it allowed me to grind into it while cooking and eating. I could see how much pepper I was using and how coarse the grind was, so I could evenly distribute it on the food. I didn't even steam the grinder while I was cooking. br>The "NEW OXO Good Grips Contoured Mess-Fixing Tool" While grinding over the pot/pan with the "Free Pepper Grinder," the grinder mechanism itself becomes steamed, and pepper sticks to the steam on the grinder, resulting in an unappealing mess on top of the grinder. [Steam is likely to enter the peppercorn reservoir as well. ] ] I know- I understand that all pepper grinders steam when used over a hot pot, but when the grinder is on the bottom, no one sees the mess. The grinder is visible because it is on the top. br>br>The "NEW OXO Good Grips Contoured Mess-Maker" is a new product from OXO Good Grips. The "Free Pepper Grinder" is refilled from the bottom, which isn't as simple as it should be, given Oxo's apparent commitment to simplicity. Designs created by GRIP. Because I have long fingers, gripping and twisting the shallow twist-out peppercorn reservoir "lid" can be difficult for me. The lid does not seat properly when replaced. not in the least Then, because it gets stuck in the threads, it may take several attempts to get it right. So that it can be twisted shut, it must sit perfectly on those threads. That's a real annoyance. Was this subjected to any testing prior to its release? br>br>At the table, I prefer a coarse grind, and I've been using this primarily in the kitchen so far. If I'm happy with the grind, only time will tell. a change - Instead of a continuous screw, the options are limited to a few settings on a sliding adjustment. My previous pepper grinders all had the same setting as this one. I've long admired Oxo's designs, but this pepper grinder does not appeal to me. I'd love to be able to purchase my old favorite OXO Good Grips 32180 Pepper Mill once more; Although the replacement appears to be identical, it only lasted about half as long (and the bottom lid was always falling off). br>br>In addition to Oxo: Anyone who enjoys pepper enough to purchase a grinder is likely to purchase high-quality peppercorns as well. A spice seller sells me premium black tellicherry peppercorns. They have a wonderful flavor, not just the heat that you'd expect from a cheap pepper. A pre-grinder filled with unidentified generic peppercorns and handling guidelines (in your non-alcoholic beverage) Then there's who's in charge of the food production facility. knows- how- Before being sold, how long did it take and under what conditions did it take? This isn't very appealing; all I want is a decent pepper grinder. Selling an empty grinder saves money that could have been spent on improving the lid's fit.
For a long time, I've been using single-use pepper grinders (like McCormick's "single" use pepper grinder). I refilled it the last time I used it, but by the end of the second batch, the grinder had slowed down significantly and was producing very little pepper. I went ahead and bought a real reusable one like this, and I'm glad I did. br>br>First and foremost, this pepper grinder produces a large amount of pepper in a short amount of time, which is fantastic! This takes less time than a McCormick pepper grinder and produces the same amount of pepper. br>br>The shape of this pepper grinder makes it very comfortable to hold, and because the part that twists while grinding is on the opposite side of where the pepper comes out, you won't get pepper all over your hands if they're wet (as was the case with the McCormick ones). br>br>This product has a very aesthetically pleasing appearance and fits in well on a table! br>br>This is worth any amount, but it's especially cheap and worth it for quickly sprinkling enough pepper on food while cooking! You'll most likely recoup your investment once you're no longer purchasing disposable pepper grinders!.
