Please help me. My wife has begun to draw my attention to the layer of black pepper that surrounds the front burners of our stove after I’m done cooking. She concludes that I was being careless when I use the pepper mill over my eggs in the morning. I didn’t quite believe it, but I've tried to be more careful but she is still finding pepper on the stove.
So my question: is there something in the nature of pepper that would be causing this? Certainly, it seems lighter than salt, which makes me think the hot air above a frying pan might be displacing the pepper flakes from the frying pan.
Does that make sense? (FYI: no complaints about my use of salt, which I’m sure I deploy with the same shaking motion.)
