Customer Reviews of William Bounds 8-Inch HM pepper Mill
Customer Rating:  Summary: solid and dependable Comment: This seems to be a solid and dependable pepper mill. I've even dropped it on the floor a few times and it is still functioning. (I'm a klutz, in case you haven't guessed), Customer Rating: Summary: William Bounds pepper mill Comment: I researched pepper mills extensively and finally found this one. I have been very pleased with it. I would recommend it to anyone who is serious about freshly ground pepper. Customer Rating:  Summary: Good Peppermill, Maybe Not The Best Comment: I'm just retiring mine after about 8 years of service. It was a gift and is exactly like this model, except it has a wooden body (referred to as "Espresso & Stainless Steel" on the William Bounds site). The Good: I really liked the grind select ring which allows you to adjust between the 3 grind sizes without having to fiddle with a screw on the bottom of the mill. (Caveat - see below) Maintains consistent grind size. The Bad: It's a bit hard to fill due to two perpendicular crossbars across the top, through which you must pour the peppercorns. Doesn't output very much pepper per turn. It is very tedious to grind out a couple of tablespoons worth of pepper for recipes or rubs. Questionable longevity - I gave one to my mother-in-law as a gift. Less than two years later she's having trouble with the selection ring. Mine took longer to start giving me trouble, but after about 4-5 years I, too, started having some trouble with the ring. The output is almost completely unaffected by the selection on the ring. The upshot is that I have to fiddle with the screw on the bottom after all! The ceramic milling mechanism has a lifetime warranty, but I'm not sure about the ring. In any case, I don't have a receipt because this was a gift. The Conclusion: After about 8 years, I'm left with the impression that this is a good mill, but that the quality is over-hyped. I've just replaced it with the Unicorn Magnum Plus Pepper Mill 9-in. It is the top-recommended mill by Cooks Illustrated and is Alton Brown's choice as well. I don't find it as aesthetically pleasing, and I'll have to wait and see how long it lasts, but I've been very impressed with it so far. I can tell you this: right out of the box the Unicorn is doing a much better job delivering very coarsely ground pepper (cracked pepper) than the William Bounds ever did. Customer Rating: Summary: Pepper Mill Comment: If you want a really good pepper mill at a reasonable price, this is the one to get. Customer Rating: Summary: William Bounds Astounds! Comment: As a chef, I count on my equipment to come through and I have used these peppermills for years and they never let me down. It doesn't matter if I am doing some in-home catering, serving hundreds at a party, or even covering an extra shift at the restaurant; the first things I pack are my knives and my peppermill. The grind adjustments for coarse, medium, and fine are quick and precise. They work every time and deliver consistent grind quality and quantity. It is refreshing to find such a quality piece of kitchen essentials that delivers on all promises. They don't put lifetime warranties on these lightly, and I have never had to take them up on that. Please do yourself a favor and get a functional, important piece of equipment and you will know why I give these out for Christmas to my friends.

Choosing Appliance -> Choosing Appliance -> Built-in Ovens Ease of cleaning is well worth considering at the outset. Stay clean liners resist dirt build-up but pyrolitic cleaning is the ultimate. It burns off all baked-on debris at 500°C so that all you have to do is sweep out the resulting ash. Look out for ovens with a steam cleaning facility, too, and remember that some ovens have removable inner doors that are easy to clean. William Bounds 8-Inch HM pepper Mill
Useful info -> Kitchen tips Shelves or cabinets above the cook top can hold foods that aren't affected by warmth, such as pasta, rice, and cereal. A shelf just below these cabinets but above the cook top can transform the space into a cooking workshop, providing a handy resting place for timers, spices, cooking supplies and implements. |
