Has the monotonous act of grinding a plastic pepper mill left you asking for, well, more? You'll grind and grind and grind—only to eke out tiny flakes of pepper that could hardly season a singular bowl of pasta. And while you might fault the stale peppercorns, the issue resides not in them, but in the low-quality, disposable grinder you may have picked up at the grocery store.

So with that out of the way, let us introduce you to one of the most coveted pepper grinders on the internet: the Unicorn Mills 9-inch Magnum Plus. Beloved by everyone from recipe developers to home cooks, the pepper mill is built in Nantucket, cobbled together by parts from both the United States and Italy. It features a steel grinding mechanism that allows a ton of ground pepper to fly out quickly. Just slide the grinder open for easy filling—up to one and a quarter cups—adjust the size to your liking, and lock closed.

The extra-large grinder is sold on Amazon, where it's racked up over 1,400 five-star ratings. "Even a quarter turn gives a shower of evenly ground corns," one shopper shared. "The grinding mechanism is enormous, enabling the cook to pulverise a vast quantity of peppercorns in a very short time. All in all I would highly recommend you believe the hype on this pepper grinder if you are seeking to season your cooking with maximum efficiency."

To buy: Unicorn Mills 9-inch Magnum Plus Pepper Mill, $59 at amazon.com

Unicorn Mills makes this grinder in two sizes, both of which are available on Amazon, but what makes the magnum version superior is its extra length. A longer body lends itself well for better leverage and torque, plus ease of use when grinding.

"This thing is a workhorse!" another shopper wrote. "This is a must in any kitchen, especially when you need a lot of fresh ground pepper for a recipe like a meat rub or marinade. It puts out a large amount of pepper with fewer grinds. It's a five-star product and has a long history of kitchen-tested use."

If your cabinet has just been a revolving door for disposable plastic pepper mills, it's inevitably time to invest in one that not only floods your cooking with spice, but also allows you the agency to choose whatever peppercorns you want to work with. Shop the Unicorn Mills 9-Inch Magnum Plus pepper mill for $59 on Amazon.
