Pepper mills grind large peppercorns into smaller bits, releasing their flavor just before use. Most pepper grinders resemble circular towers with a handle or a twisting dial at the top, but the globe pepper mill or PepperBall, has an unusual shape. These grinders vaguely resemble rabbits, with the peppercorns held in a globe and two handles that extend, like rabbit ears, from the top. Squeezing the handles mills the pepper in the globe and deposits it on your food. Refilling these takes almost as little effort as operating them.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  4. Step 4

    Place the tip of the funnel into the opening.

  5. Step 5

    Pour the peppercorns slowly into the funnel.

    Watch the level of the pepper filling the ball, and stop adding when the ball is three-fourths full.

    Slide the refill door back up into place.

  8. Step 8

    Secure the refill door with a small piece of invisible tape if desired.
