Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Chef'n Pepper Ball, Clear
Customer Review: Not impressed
Summary: 2 Stars
I also own both the salt ball and the pepper ball and have to disagree with the previous reviewer; I find both useful at the table but very unhelpful when cooking. The balls are both great when seasoning food, but do not work at all for recipes that require exact amounts. The opening at the bottom of the ball is extremely large, and attempting to direct what is coming out into a teaspoon or tablespoon is worthless- you'll use up all of the pepper before for you get whatever measurement you need.
Additionally, mine (ordered from amazon.com) did not come with the stand the product claims to have. Therefore, when the ball is sitting on the counter, it is very susceptible to picking up things around it- any sort of spilt liquid will go up into the ball (especially the salt one) and ruin whatever is inside. I also do agree that both balls produce very inconsistent salt and pepper- even whole pepper balls will come through mine. Also, the amount of pepper inside at the beginning is very limited (mine was only 1/4 full when I got it). However, if you are able to keep them dry and don't mind refills, these balls will give you freshly ground salt and pepper, are easy to use, and can make a cute addition to the table.
I do believe both are overpriced for what they can do, as you will wind up paying $30 for the set. You might want to consider either paying an extra $10 for a more durable and effective set or sticking with the cheaper, non-mill varieties.
Description of Chef'n Pepper Ball, Clear
Perfect for multitasking and a great conversation piece at mealtime, the Pepperball makes seasoning your food so simple. It operates using one hand to squeeze the molded plastic "ears" to grind peppercorns through the ceramic grinding mechanism. View it in action through the clear acrylic ball which also lets you know when it needs refilling. Lever adjusts five ways from fine to coarse. Great for when you need to stir with one hand and grind with the other. Comes with it's own stand so it stays in place when not in use.Salt & Pepper
