Recomment your salt and pepper grinders

[mbcdefg]

We received this set over a year ago. Nothing's coming out of the salt grinder anymore, and both grinders have green oxidation on them, yuck: www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=16135720

Most sets I'm finding online include a pepper grinder and a salt shaker. I would prefer a salt grinder because I use sea salt.

Can you recommend a set that will last me a while? I'd ideally like to spend $35 or less, and bonus points if I can get it through Amazon.com (but I also have easy access to Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Walmart).

I found this set on Amazon, but they seem pretty small: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000YABBZO/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

I don't have a salt grinder, but I have a Peugot pepper grinder and love it.

So - coincidence! Today's email newsletter from America's Test Kitchen had pepper grinder recommendations. I know some people hate the ATK/Christopher Kimball enterprise, but that's all I have to offer.

The top recommendation was "Cole & Mason Derwent Gourmet Precision Pepper Mill -- When it comes to grind quality, this mill is tops. It made grind selection a snap, with clear markings corresponding to grind size, and every one of its six fixed settings performed well. Its transparent acrylic body proved easy to load and grasp."


Here's the full article (I don't think these stay online permanently): www.cooksillustrated.com/equipment/overview.asp?docid=41302&Extcode=L3BN1AA00

ETA: Although the one I listed was the only one that was rated "highly recommended", the one that PP listed is also "recommended."

Thanks!

I actually found a BB&B coupon in my email after I asked this question, so I wandered into Bed Bath & Beyond on my lunch break yesterday and got this Oxo set. They got good reviews online so hopefully they'll work fine.

I didn't take the price stickers off when I brought them home, and MH was shocked that I spent $22/each on salt and pepper shakers, lol. I told him that they were FAR from the priciest ones available!

Me, too. I'm glad it was a gift because I never would have spent the $60 or $70 it cost. Since getting it, though, I've used far more pepper than I ever did before which I view as a positive return on that investment.

Yup. I heard that it was awesome so put it on my Christmas list several years ago since I couldn't imagine spending that much normally. DH probably shook his head he purchased it but hasn't regretted it since then.
