We didn’t heed our own device when refilling the pepper mill yesterday. The result: peppercorns all over the counter and floor.
There’s a better way to do it:
Fill a small plastic bag or even a paper envelope with the peppercorns. Snip off a corner. You’ll be able to better aim the peppercorns into the mill.
Now that you’ve mastered filling the pepper mill, master all the different types of peppercorns.
Pepper is not related to bell peppers or hot chile peppers. The term “pepper” was applied to the Chile by New World explorers, who related the hot and spicy flavor of chiles to the peppercorn they knew. Learn more about chile “peppers.”
