It’s been a long time since the only things in your cooking repertoire were grilled cheese and Ramen noodles. It doesn’t matter if you learned how to cook to impress a girl, provide for a family or just because you love food—you did. And with that comes an understanding of proper spice application. There’s a million different ways to marinade a steak, but the only things you really need are salt and pepper. Salt and pepper also come in handy when you’re preparing soup, potatoes, vegetables, chicken or anything else really. But if you’re manning the grill or the stove, how are you supposed to properly grind salt or pepper with hardware in one hand and a cold beer in the other? Gravity. Simply tip this Bodum Bistro grinder to a 45-degree angle and it will automatically grind the spices for you. Thank you Sir Isaac Newton.
