(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best salt & pepper mills, shakers & sets

Woot! Did it without adding anything new to my wishlists/linking to nonwishlisted items :D


1.) Something that is grey.


2.) Something reminiscent of rain.


3.) Something food related that is unusual.


4.) Something on your list that is for someone other than yourself.
Tell me who it's for and why. (Yes, pets count!): It's for my roommate because I can't cook to save my life >_<


5.) A book I should read! I am an avid reader, so take your best shot and tell me why I need to read it! That or anything else my Elizibeth Hand- she is amazing. I also highly recommend her wonderful novel on mental illness, Generation Loss


6.) An item that is less than a dollar, including shipping... that is not jewelry, nail polish, and or hair related! $1.35 was the best I could do


7.) Something related to cats. I love cats! (keep this SFW, you know who you are...)


8.) Something that is not useful, but so beautiful you must have it. Both needlessly fancy brads and a coloring book (as if I weren't about to start the semester full time in a couple days. Heh. Leisure time. LOL, that's so cute.)


9.) A movie everyone should watch at least once in their life. Why? I didn't add any movies onto my wishlist because I have Netflix and I never watch the DVD's I have. But everyone should watch Fight Club, The Daparted, Memento, Requiem for a Dream, Night of the Living Dead, and- most importantly, The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra. Go watch it now! To fulfill the scavenger part of the contest somehow, here is a tchotchke from my favorite TV show ever, which has spawned 12 movies, most of which you should see.

So I could be all cheesy and pick a movie that most people have for the most points, like Avatar, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc, but you know what's more important than winning contests? Revelling in the cinematic beauty that is The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra! Los Skeleton is literally the funniest movie I've ever seen. I remember my abs hurt so bad afterwards from laughing so hard for so long. My friends and I got all these inside jokes that we still use today, ten years later, that still crack us up.
Well, now that I've played it up to a standard that no movie could ever live up to (I'm sorry, I meant no movie except The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra!) so that you'll surely be underwhelmed by it, regardless of the cinematic masterpiece that it is, all I can say is, "Enjoy!"


10.) Something that would be useful when the zombies attack.

Explain.

Because destroy the brain, kill the ghoul, of course.


11.) Something that would have a profound impact on your life and help you to achieve your current goals.. There were a couple of items I could have put here instead: a die cutting machine, an accordion (want. SO. bad!!), a Chromebook, but I think what would really bestow the greatest impact on my life and help further my goals would be a serger. My birthday was a week ago and someone asked me what I wanted to happen this new year for me. I ended up writing a journal page about it, and one of the things was to improve my costuming skills and to finally take them to a professional level that I can be proud of distributing.



12.) One of those pesky Add-On items. So pesky that I made an entire wishlist just for add-ons


13.) The most expensive thing on your list. Your dream item. Why? I love the accordion and I've wanted one for years. I can't explain why. Or Jason Webley is why. Whichever answer you prefer.


14.) Something bigger than a bread box. Hello!


15.) Something smaller than a golf ball.


16.) Something that smells wonderful. I love this stuff!


17.) A (SFW) toy. I apparently have a bunch and they're all in Hebrew. I don't even speak Hebrew O_o


18.) Something that would be helpful for going back to school.


19.) Something related to your current obsession, whatever that may be.. Mixing two of my obsessions and one love all together: scrapbooking, washi tape, and steampunk. Yes.

20.) Something that is just so amazing and awe-inspiring that I simply must see it. Explain why it is so grand.


I don't know if the grandness of Cthulhu slippers needs to be explained. It's Cthulhu...but slippers! :D

fear cuts deeper than swords. I live you contest idea- this was really fun to do. Thanks! :D

I'll throw my vote in for a sharpening stone. If he doesn't already have a nice sharpening set, maybe consider getting him something like a nice diamond sharpening stone; I've seen them for $50 or less.

Tools are always nice. Here are some suggestions to think about:
~ microplane grater
~ Japanese mandolines can be fun to have around.
~ Fish spatulas can be a handy tool.
~ Does he have a good quality peeler? Everyone has a "normal" peeler, but I like to have a good quality horizontal peeler, like one of these, to use sometimes.
~ Does he do a lot of baking? If so, maybe some silicone baking mats for his baking sheets, or maybe some parchment paper.
~ Does he like to use fresh citrus juice very much? Does he have a citrus reamer?
~ Does he like to use fresh garlic? Maybe a garlic press?
~ Silicone spatulas?
~ Does he have a pepper grinder for fresh ground pepper?
~ Does he have a set of mise en place bowls or something to use to keep his stuff organized when he's working?
~ Does he have a scale? You can find plenty of options for home-use digital scales that can weigh up to 11 or 12 pounds, and use either pounds, or grams (if he's doing anything metric.)
~ Something like a good quality cast iron pan can be a lifetime investment, because if they're well cared for, he'll be able to pass it on to his grandkids someday.
~ A dutch oven will always be useful to serious home cooks. The enameled cast iron type are very popular, but they come in many different sizes and shapes, so keep that in mind when picking one out.
~ Knives are always nice. Paring knife, utility knife, serrated slicer, etc.

Those are just a few suggestions that popped into mind. Good luck, I hope you find something nice for him.

part 2/2

I have some posts on my spice process here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/cookingforbeginners/comments/aeic6x/beginner_spices/edqa188/?context=3

Now, that may be overkill for what you're doing, especially since you said you eat very little. But, you're still stuck with buying even a small amount of spice that may last you for a year or more. In that case, this is how I started out:

1. Keep a list of what spices you have. I use an app called Todoist to manage my various lists of stuff (grocery list, spice list, etc.). This enables me to do two things: one, not double-buy what I already have at home when I'm out shopping, and two, get inspiration for what to make based on what I have when I look at the list (i.e. oh hey, I have some homemade taco seasoning leftover, maybe I'll throw that in with some ground beef for tacos this week)
   
2. Designate a place to store your spices. I have two places: a cupboard, and a go-to rack for my "essentials" (Kosher salt in a salt pig, black pepper in a grinder, garlic salt, etc.). If you don't have a ridiculous number of spices & use standard off-the-shelf bottles, you may find a spice shelf a handy organizational tool to have.
   
3. Alphabetize them. It's sooooo annoying having to dig through your spice collection to find the one that you need.
   
   Other than that, you're more or less stuck with buying the minimum quantity required to meet your needs. There are a few ways to deal with this:
   
   
4. Setup a calendar entry to go through your spice collection once a month & purge what you don't need or what is old, and re-alphabetize them as needed. Sauces in particular can go bad quickly.
   
5. Use fresh ingredients, which often allows you to control the quantity your purchase. You mentioned garlic - most grocery stores sell them as single heads, so you don't always have to buy a whole six-pack or whatever. Whole Foods lets you measure out your own spices.
   
6. Make your own stuff, either by grinding/zesting (whole nutmeg/peppercorns/etc. will last a pretty long time) or doing sauces or whatever, which lets you control the quantity of fresh ingredients.
   
7. Buy what you need on a week to week basis. I typically do my meal planning once a week, for the week ahead, and then look in my inventory to see what I have & put the rest on a shopping list.
   
8. Learn how to freeze different items. I use a cheap vacuum sealer off Amazon. You can freeze fresh herbs in olive oil in an ice cube tray. There's lots of little handy tricks like that available, which is also why I like to do my meal-planning on a weekly basis, as I can keep a rotating stock of what I need, and then purge old stuff on a monthly basis based on a calendar reminder. This ensures that I'm using fresh stuff & aren't getting cluttered up.
   
   The bottom line is that having a spice inventory is just kind of one of the "costs of doing business" of cooking at home, but there are a few tricks to managing it better, like alphabetizing them in a dedicated space & purging your inventory based on a monthly calendar reminder, which takes all of five minutes even for the largest spice collection.
   
   Sauces & spices are, to me, the King & Queen of Flavor. Food by itself is just kind of meh most of the time...chicken & noodles are okay, but throw on a great Alfredo sauce & you've got it made! Pork is good, but throw on an amazing spice rub & smoke it & you've got yourself an amazing pulled-pork sandwich! Throw some chimichurri on some marinated steak. Even simple things like homemade Ranch sauce can be amazing flavorful.
   
   Thus, I think realistically, the best you can expect to do is (1) you have to have some sort of inventory of spices, due to the way they are sold, and (2) you can design a basic system for managing them, ex. alphabetizing them, purging your inventory on a monthly basis, adding in what you need on a weekly basis, etc. or however you want to approach it, just because of the nature of the spices themselves.

Tons and tons and tons of books - look under the "available for less money" links for "used" paperback versions that will make them super affordable and they usually come nearly brand new!

this may be a bit niche, but i can fully recommend a Skeppshult grinder.

it grinds most spices with just a few twists, and even stubborn stuff like cumin or carraway are easier to grind than in a regular mortar.

also, it'll last a few generations. the clever cap/storage on top is just a nice bonus.

and since you mentioned you liked thai curries, I'll tip you off to a traditional south-asian mortar & pestle. it's much bigger/higher than regular mortars, what with the pestle looking more like a small baseball bat ;). it's great for the gnarliest substances like lemon grass.

between these two, i have no problem grinding really anything, including those yummy thai curry pastes (imo much better than from a blender).

btw, i use whole/freshly ground spices almost exclusively, mainly because i'm lazy ;). in the long run, it's much less fuss since whole spices keep much much longer + you can buy it in larger quantities. also, that's what most asian stores tend to carry anyway. (not mentioning the superior taste...)

These are the only kinds of gifts I really like. Unless it's something non-practical that I really, really want or is very thoughtful(like, a video game that just came out or the couple of times I've received meaningful jewelry), I'm very happy to receive things like kitchen appliances I need or socks or even grocery store gift cards.

However, some girls don't like it. It really depends on how your girlfriend is, and you know her best. I'd think if she's moving out, something like a Kitchenaid mixer for her new place would be a very welcome gift if she likes to cook. Not sure if you were looking to spend that much though. I know I pretty much died when I opened the box and saw mine. You could also go for something decorative, kind of in between practical/typical gift territory and keep it cheaper. I like to give salt and pepper shakers, everyone uses them and they can be cute and quirky. Some examples: 1 2 3 4

I have arthritis in my hands pretty badly and in my thumb pad joint. I have a Peugeot that I have had for about 20 years and Love it!

I have this style. (paid a lot more for it those years ago)

https://www.amazon.com/Peugeot-23317-USelect-9-Inch-Natural/dp/B000RAC7U4/

​

Maybe a style like this one would better suit you?

https://www.amazon.com/Pepper-Mill-Imports-Atlas-Copper/dp/B0000DI5CC/

​

But I really love my Peugeot and have never regretted having it.

I'm picky about this because I have mild tendinitis which can flare up when using bad mills. I've used the $16 Oxo one every day for two years now and I really like it. Super quick & easy to refill, doesn't take up much space, I like it sits with the output-side up so I don't need to worry about putting it down on a messy counter mid-cooking, and best of all, it cranks easily and consistently.

I have the Kyocera everything mill for pepper and it is the best pepper grinder I have ever tried, top notch quality.http://www.amazon.com/Kyocera-Everything-Adjustable-Grinder-Black/dp/B001UHNLDU/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1381626017&sr=1-1&keywords=everything+grinder


I can imagine their coffee grinder would be just as great.

I will do my best, hope the transition goes well.

Cool salt & pepper shakers

Floating planter

Holy smokes, Batman! This is a super cute salt and pepper shaker set!

Pasta Primavera, favorite salad greens with homemade vinaigrette dressing, garlic bread, and fruit sorbet for dessert.


This would be nice for cooking

Thank you.

I researched the various options on Amazon a few months back and went with this one. I only got around to unpacking and filling it a month or so ago, so I don't have any long-term use reports. But it seems fine, functional, and inexpensive. I just wanted a basic, adjustable grinder where I could easily see what's inside (because I keep both black and white pepper around), and this one seems cheap and good enough so far.

Happy Halloween!

This one is my favorite pepper grinder. it has a crank, and it grinds pepper like corn through a goose.

These adorable Salt and Pepper shakers, which also happen to be the first thing people have bought us.

Adorable!!

EDIT: Same ones but less expensive! :D

I would suggest the oxo pepper grinder. Fresh ground pepper for fuckin life.

If you want suggestions on pepper to grind, try Tellicherry peppercorns.

Haha can't do it man! My wife wouldn't let em go, but here's a link or two!

I use the kyocera one. I've had it for over a year and it still works like new. Plus it is fairly cheap

I use something like this:

I have one I bought off Amazon since it was the highest rated at the time. I will add the link since I don't want to spell out the very German name. I have used it very hard for about ten years now and it still works like new with ceramic burs.

Most grocery stores sell a one time use pepper mill. Personally I invested once in a decent refillable one and buy peppercorn in bulk.

Something like this should do the trick. You can find bulk peppercorn online as well but its common in most grocery stores where I live.

We got a pair of these as wedding gifts 7 years ago and they perform just as well now as they did the day we got them. I use them daily.

Amazon says they will sell you one.

this may help you^^

:o you don't have a wishlist in your flair.

Because ninjas are awesome

This is the mill. To refill it you screw off the tiny finial at the top and it comes off, the hole is a little larger than a quarter. It's a little messy to pour from a spice jar into the pepper mill without a funnel. I don't want to have to dig out a funnel to pour pepper.
