I bought a pepper grinder called the Pepper Cannon. Yes, its wonderfully overengineered and costs a fortune. But it's made in the USA, and they've been pretty open with their startup process for making it.

Few months ago I was browsing across amazon and lo and behold, some pepper grinders that look identical to the pepper cannon came up. They were all cheaper knockoffs, selling for a fraction of the cost, and outright stealing PCs industrial design. I didn't buy one, as I don't need one and didn't really care enough to test if the mechanism was the same as the one I bought, but I did drop a line to the pepper cannon guys so they can try to get em delisted

Now I want a Pepper Cannon. Would you recommend getting it, before I ruin my hype by looking up the price or what is actually is? :D

[–] Paradox@lemdro.id 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Its really great if you like pepper. It puts out an absolute ton of it, and you'll find yourself going through way more black pepper than you thought you ever could. And the grind settings are unrivaled; you can get tiny little faerie dusts of pepper, all the way up to big honkin flakes that work great on a steak. Whenever I'm doing a brisket or similar on the smoker, its great to have on hand

Its milled out of a single billet of aluminum, the grinding mechanism js custom built, and the whole thing just screams quality.

And you pay for it. They're around $200

There's also a salt cannon, if you want the same sort of thing but built for salt. I got it because I like the matching pair, but you don't strictly need it; salt is salt, regardless of where it was ground.

Interresting. Looks like I have one of those knock-offs, I suppose we got it in a supermarket or something :D But I realize that paying for quality in something that includes any kind of razors will make a notable difference, so I guess the price can be justified.
