Are there any new products on the market - pepper mills? Nothing electronic - I'm familiar with the product and sold it for a short time in a restaurant where I was a manager - don't ask:( I live in the Los Angeles area - The last one that I purchased for my husband as a Christmas gift gave out after two years. We tend to use it and use it, perhaps too strenuously. We need something that can take a little loving abuse! Thank you in advance!

Thu Mar 23 20:01:08 -0800 2006 1517676 0 Candy 2 1517690 I use a perfex-love it. It's easy to "load" via a front pouch, I like the fact that it has a handle rather than a twist mechanism, and the adjustibility is easy. As stated, it's expensive, but a super quality product that will last a long time. (I think it's cute looking, too) Thu Mar 23 21:35:27 -0800 2006 1517680 0 Marge 1 1517685 I have a Magnum Plus and I love it. Huge output and really fast. I've had several brands in the past that I didn't like as well. I bought it after reading a review of peppermills in a cooking magazine somewhere.

It got top marks from Cooks Illustrated, for one.

I am devoted to the Unicorn line -- I have had the pepper gun for many years, and have purchased the Magnum plus for friends. Am thinking of getting the mini-mill to tote to restaurants. Here's the website www.peppergun.com Link: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/show/283486#1513378 Fri Mar 24 07:50:52 -0800 2006 1517676 0 willow 1 1517780 I have one of the natural wood mills from the site below. I absolutely love it. The guy is a former timpanist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra who wanted a better pepper mill so he designed one himself. Great output and it looks great too.

Mr. Dudley (wonder if there is a real Mr. Dudley - or is it just the name of a giant Chinese pepper mill cartel?) JUST makes pepper mills. So if "he" has a website you might check it out to see what's new and hot in peppermills these days. Actually, I should do that myself - I'd like to find a mill that grinds the large kosher salt flakes into powder. Mon Mar 27 12:37:35 -0800 2006 1517676 0 Niki Rothman
