What should you consider buying the electric pepper mill before you decide for your pepper mill test winner?
Grinder ...
The most important part of a pepper mill is inside, the grinder. It can be made of plastic, stainless steel or ceramic. Stainless steel is very robust and high quality. Even better than stainless steel, the ceramic grinder has turned out to be. Ceramics are very hard and are also very well with dry herbs. If you buy an electric pepper mill very cheap, probably a plastic grinder will be used. It wears off very quickly and it can not be ruled out that Plasteabrieb is under the regrind.
Material...
The outer shell says very little about the quality of the salt & pepper mill, but it is a guarantee for a long service life. Stainless steel covers are not only very nice to look at, they also don't wear out and are easy to care for. Smooth plastic covers usually lift the cheaper pepper mills, but non-slip plastic increases the grip, which is particularly advantageous when cooking with greasy hands. All of our tested pepper mills have a transparent part made of glass or acrylic to check the filling level of the pepper mill.
Size and volume ...
Have you used your pepper mill daily in use to choose a mill with a large content. The filling opening should be large enough to be able to fill the product without scattering losses. If your pepper mill is in the kitchen cupboard when not in use, you should pay attention to the height of the pepper mill. Some manufacturers offer for parking a pedestal, so that no crumbs can fall down when settling under the mill.
Power supply and light ...
All models tested by us in the salt & pepper mill comparison are battery operated. When buying, make sure that you have batteries with you or buy some at the same time. The batteries also supply power to a lighting device. Although the light is very sparse, it illuminates the area under the spreader.
Maintenance options ...
It is usually sufficient if the electric pepper mill is cleaned with a soft cloth from the outside. WMF's Electric Salt Mill and Pepper Mill 0667366100 also makes it easy to clean the grinder, which is particularly helpful when gluing herbs.
