The Chef’n Dual Pepperball: Elegant Practicality

Posted on April 22, 2011 by

Dual Salt and Pepper GrinderI've been working out of my sister's pad in Mission Bay, SF for the past week.  The thing you have to understand about my sister is that she has a particular aesthetic sense, sort of Swedish practicality plus Japanese asceticism, and a dash of hedonism.  So her apartment reflects that: lots of clean lines, uncluttered surfaces, lots of tans, greys and off-whites everywere. Oh and liquor, lots of liquor.

Not really my cup of tea, but I can appreciate the simplicity and elegance of it.

Case in point is the Chef'n Dual Pepperball, a kitchen tool that has been sitting on her kitchen counter where I'm doing my work during the day. I can't stop staring at it. I find it kind of beautiful really, particularly the contrast of the white sea salt crystals and the peppercorn balls. And it's a practical device, that cleverly grinds both salt and pepper, depending on which way you twist the handles. 

Devices like this sort of fascinate me. Which is why I can spend forever in stores like Pylones, looking at hundreds of objects I have absolutely no use for.
