I love love love my Cole and Mason. Pepper mill mechanism is carbon steel with 6 grind settings, salt mill is ceramic with 3 grind settings. The reservoir is acrylic rather than glass, but it looks really good and won't break if you drop it. I got one for myself and loved it so much I bought one for my mother 6 months later; had it about 2 years now and it works great! They're kinda expensive ($75 for the set or $40 each) but IMO they are 100% worth it.

Dual Ended Salt and Pepper Grinder I love this idea so much. <3

Just for fun I want to see how many D things I have now...

Aw only 2. Well I suppose I can leave them. Total they don't equal your cap. :) Thanks so much for such a cool contest!

These are by far the best ones I've owned, I've had these over 10 years, still work and look as good as ever, had a few people also mention how good they were. You can also buy a nice marble stand for them. Check the links/reviews:

Edit: I missed your description, anyway these are still great for anyone else looking.

They're not plastic but they're relatively inexpensive, I bought two ceramic salt grinders (little glass globes with stainless steel and ceramic grinder top) they come together in packs of two on Amazon for like 20 bucks or something. Order two of the 2 packs and you're past the 25 dollar free shipping, wait a few days and bam! Not top quality but I've had them for a month and they're quite reliable so far. Adjustable coarseness too which is nice.

Edit: price was 20 not 14, here's the link: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B012BMB490/ref=s9_top_hm_awbw_b7FsbZb_g79_i17/158-8140395-0188206?pf_rd_m=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&pf_rd_s=mobile-hybrid-11&pf_rd_r=32ZXTVQC4SAFET7DM934&pf_rd_t=30901&pf_rd_p=2b90f9f8-a7e3-5f06-bd21-b4ebad4667ec&pf_rd_i=6647589011

Also this is all in CAD, if you're in the states they'll be much cheaper, plus the exchange rate.

I picked up a set of these OXO bois on a MEGA sale at Kohl's a while ago. Super ergonomic, the variable size switch is solid and easy to switch on the fly, grinds clean, easy to clean, and stores well. A bit fancy, yeah, but totally worth it.

As a normal human who doesn't have the time for the slow and inconsistent grinds of a mortar and pestle (I have one, but I just really don't like it), I highly recommend the OXO salt & pepper grinders. I've gotten them as wedding presents after getting them for a Christmas. They have 5 settings, the finest being similar to everyday salt size & the coarsest crushing peppercorns in half or thirds.

Every other one I've owned has gotten clogged before I was even able to go through its packaged contents, these have been refilled at least 10 times and crush exactly the same. They are a Godsend for a black pepper fan like myself.

I got grinders from amazon that work great - after dehydrating in the oven, I did a quick grind in the food processor to break down the big chunks (which did make some into powder as mentioned above) and now we use it like a black pepper grinder to get “fresh” flakes on pizza and the like.

I have this one, and love it! It works great and fits all your criteria.

I like this one because it grinds well and is really sturdy.

Mine works great, but seems some like other people couldn't get it to work.

hmm I'm not sure if this is the best suggestion (as my Dad doesn't experience the heavy tremor but he has the lack of motor skills) but others may be interested I got him Electronic Salt and Pepper Mills makes that task a lot easier for him

Pre-ground pepper is as good as sand. You need to grind it at the time of use.

Get a 6 inch Unicorn Magnum (or 9 inch, if you can handle it)—these grinders are so efficient you can get the same amount of pepper from 1/2 turn as would take 5 turns on lesser pepper mills.

If you're not into the whole "nine inch black magnum" thing, then these OXO grinders are nearly as good.

This is what I use for pepper and LOVE it:

These Salt and pepper grinders are a must if you like to cook! Fresh ground pepper and salt make a real difference in cooking!

Also I have found having a slow cooker and/or a rice cooker to be invaluable in my kitchen!

This one is not on my wish list but it also is useful for someone just starting out in their own life, they may not be the best tools ever, but they will get you started!

Audiophile stuff tend to be very $$$ and its the sort of the stuff they like to buy on their own to buy the very best for the price, I wouldn't suggest you buy that.

>-very into biking

calling /u/thirty-five-

>likes cooking - esp breakfast, italian and east asian food.

Same as audiophile, people tend to buy their own shit. I dont like having excessive kitchen gadgets cluttering my space. BUT fancy ingredients are always welcome. Saffron, truffles, high-end olive oil, hazelnut oil, Limoncello, Prosecco...

Edit : I saw that your budget is 200$ dang,

• does he have an enameled cast iron pot? If not, get him a le creuset dutch oven. This is 300 CAN$ so I imagine its possible to find it for 200ish american somewhere.
  
  
• does he have a kitchen mixer? If not this is a very good one : kitchen aid artisan 5 quarts I cannot see the price right now for some reason so I dont really the price range. As I recall they were around 270$ US but maybe theyre discounted right now. I dont know; I cant see the price.
  
  
• Does he have crappy pepper&salt mills? Peugeot makes the best this is 80$ so you can add other stuff too
  
  
• Mortar and pestle are all the same but the material so you can get him a pretty granite one. Just choose an appropriate size. This is not a gadget. This is a base kitchen tool that he will use. I thought it was hipster shit but its very very useful. (if he doesnt already have one)

I’ve tried many over the years including the fancy/beautiful Peugeot. Didn’t like it. Too hard to adjust coarseness. Broke a Peugeot after 3 months of ownership. Maybe I didn’t have the right model...but still.

Have had these for 5 years and love them. Easy to adjust. Built sturdy. Won’t break the bank either. Only minor complaint is they are on the small side. I cook every night just about. I have to refill them about once every 2 months.

I've had these for over a year and they look and work great. Willow & Everett Salt and Pepper Shakers

Wow, I didn't know they had so many different ones. These are the ones I have.. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001CDP5UO/ref=psdcmw_15850251_t3_B011KFIB9A?th=1&psc=1

I've gone through about 3 sets of cheap salt/pepper mills just over the past year and after that frustrating mess, I took some advice to get this set from OxO and I have not been happier. I'm sure a more expensive set could do better, but these are quality feeling and get the job done, and they have easily changed size settings.

I picked up this set a couple years ago. I've been very pleased with it.

I bought this a year ago. Liked it because it grinds very smooth and it also grinds a decent amount per semi turn. https://www.amazon.com/COLE-MASON-Derwent-Pepper-Grinder/dp/B0099V31D4?th=1&psc=1

I have that pepper grinder. I have the smoke-colored one though.

I ended up swapping it out for a more robust stainless steel version for my daily carry: http://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Steel-Grind-Pepper-Mills-Set/dp/B00BN126QQ

This should take you to the right one. Turns out it was the Amazon's choice anyways. I can attest that it's high quality, though.

there are some up for 42 dunno if they sell. https://www.amazon.com/Premium-Stainless-Grinder-Adjustable-Levav/dp/B016LUR08W/ref=sr_1_5?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1487872359&sr=1-5&keywords=salt+and+pepper+grinder+set
