Pepper Cannon. Why did I pay $200 for a pepper mill. Review

[Attjack]

For rubs, a $20 magic bullet works wonders.

Just went there and it says $29.98 🤷‍♂️

[Attjack]

Panhead John give it some time and it'll probably drop.

Just a quick update on this here puppy.
This is one and a half cranks going on a Turkey sammie for work tomorrow. This would equal, I would have to say 15 plus cranks on a normal Peppermill. And probably 30-45 seconds on the now discarded battery powered one I had.

[Caffeine88]

Impressive.
No way I'm busting out the DeWalt for a single sammich... :-)

[Steve B]

Caffeine88 It’s still hard to justify this purchase but damn it is a beast. And actually really a good looking piece of equipment.

[Huskee]

This is a very cool thread.

[FireMan]

I've got 5 pepper mills. 2 are OK & I hate the other 3. But 200 bazongas, holy crap, out of my league.

[Huskee]

ComfortablyNumb Someone needs to invent a new crypto called Bazoonga. It would take off based on the name alone and if we invest early we can retire early.

[Huskee]

ComfortablyNumb Have I got a story for you! You can teach me farming and I can teach you guitar. I'm a slow learner, but hey we'll have forever.

[FireMan]

Huskee & ComfortablyNumb & bazoongas too! 🎸🚜

I put this Pepper Cannon on my Christmas list. Oh course my wife said, $200 FOR A PEPPER MILL? I reminded her that I do have carpel tunnel from using our mill!

[Steve B]

Hahahahaha. That’s a great response. This thing is a beast. Just used it for some scallops tonight. Literally one half crank to cover 12 extra large scallops. I’m not endorsing this thing at all. But it is freakin awesome.

[Debra]

IF I had a kitchen to cook in and a range top to use that grilled cheese sandwich in their recipe section on their website wold be a definite thing tomorrow night! It looks delicious.
In fact there are a number of recipes on their my husband would love.

[Steve B]

Dang. I never even looked on there site for there recipes.
Thanks for pointing this out. 👍

[STEbbq]

You know, I am not ready to drop $200 bucks on a pepper mill. But, I am pleased that I am not alone in simply throwing out combo grocery store pepper/grinders as utter crap. Spin those things for 10 minutes and get nothing for your efforts.

Y’all are my people.👍

[Debra]

Pepper mills must be more of a man thing. I WISH $200 over the years was all we've spent on pepper mills, pepper grinders, Pepper pestles etc, etc, etc!!! My husband is forever on the search for the perfect pepper grinder. Nearest he has come so far is an old coffee grinding box he fond at an antique store but he is still looking for more.

[Mr. Bones]

I hear ya, Sister!

This is jus one more reason why I would never have me no Husband!

[Steve B]

Trust on this one Debra He, you would love this grinder. Used it again last night to season some jumbo sea scallops. 2 cranks covered all 12 nicely.

[Dewesq55]

I love mine so much I take it with me when I travel to the vacation house.

I agree the pepper cannon was a great purchase. I was hesitant to pick it up at first but made up my mind pretty quickly after I saw a post here on AR about the kickstarter, and when I saw a lot the online chefs using it as part of the beta and not even shilling it. In my opinion it is well worth the money. To be fair, I pledged on kickstarter and only paid $150.

Also as another note in May MÄNNKITCHEN said "The Salt Cannon is still in testing, hopefully available for pre-order on mannkitchen.com late Summer." I guess they missed that mark, maybe soon they will release a pre-order for that. I don't know if it will be able to pull me away from my favorite salt cellar though.

Sacramento-ish? So am I in Shingle Springs!

Thought I’d throw down an alternative that I was turned onto by Uncle Bob called the Unicorn Magnum grinder. I’m well aware of the great features of the Pepper Canon but Bob claims he saw Kenji on YouTube singing the praises of this one even more than the PC. The good news is it’s only $50 on Amazon. I really like mine, the only draw back is I wished it was taller and held more. It’s only 6”. The grinder mechanism is amazing regardless. I’ll do a follow up in a year or so.

[Panhead John]

Why wait a whole year for a follow up? It’s a pepper grinder, not a booster rocket for a mission to Mars. 🥸 Wouldn’t maybe a week or so be sufficient? 🤷‍♂️ Can you post a video for us showing how well it grinds?

Looks good here

[Troutman]

Dang it Bones, I wished I’d a seen that one. It’s ok, it holds quite a bit and is easy to fill.

[Panhead John]

I just spent a while reading many of the reviews. The overwhelming majority were 5 stars, then 4 stars. As Mr. Bones mentioned, there is a 9” version, but it’s showing currently out of stock and delivery not until January 15. The 6” is also out of stock with an earliest delivery date of December 23. I just might get drunk tonight and order me one.

[Troutman]

For $50 it’s well worth it. If I get some time I’ll show it in depth.
