Remember when you first learned about the power of levers? And how (in theory) you could even use one to move a mountain? Well Kuhn Rikon has applied the same principles to a spice grinder, but on a smaller scale.
Instead of using a twisting motion to grind salt or peppercorns, the company’s $20 Ratchet Grinder has a long arm you crank back and forth, making it easier for everyone from kids to the elderly to operate. It also uses high-grade ceramics for its internal mechanisms, resulting in more consistent results whether you’re after a fine powder or coarse chunks and eliminating the corrosion that can hinder metal components.
