• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

A pepper mill or pepper grinder is a kitchen utensil that grinds whole peppercorns into fine, medium or coarse ground bits of pepper.

Some mills have a handle on the top to turn when grinding while others simply use the round cap on the top as the turning device to do the grinding. It is also possible to get battery operated versions.

I've always turned pepper and salt mills in one direction; clockwise. Today, for some reason I started to doubt this was...
