How to Refill a Disposable Spice Grinder

Many people have disposable pepper grinders. They are very convenient to use, the degree of grinding satisfies chefs, and transparent containers allow you to control the amount of product. The only drawback is that the devices are not dismountable; after using up the pepper you have to buy a new mill. There is an easy way to make it reusable.

Remove the lid and plunge the mill upside down into boiling water. Make sure that the plastic elements are immersed in water to their full height. There is a caution - do not allow the glass neck of the bottle to overheat too much; due to critically uneven thermal expansion, it may crack.

Carefully remove water from the removed nozzle, clean off any remaining pepper and dry the glass bottle. It is better to use paper napkins; they absorb water well and bend easily - you can dry hard-to-reach places.
Leave the parts on the table for a few minutes to completely evaporate the moisture. In the mill, the seeds for grinding must be dry.
Pour new pepper into the jar; you can use other strengths to suit the housewife’s taste. Do not fill the container completely; leave about ¼ of the space empty.

Leave the mill upright, put on the mill device and press it firmly with the palm of your hand. Hold the bottle from falling with your free hand. A click should be heard, which indicates that the mechanism has seated all the way and the rim has locked into the required position.

Conclusion


It will not be possible to endlessly add pepper to the mill. The fact is that the teeth themselves are also made of plastic, and it does not have great mechanical strength. Over time, the grinding quality deteriorates, making the purchase of a new device inevitable. But 2-4 times will definitely do.

    In fact, many plastic mill covers are simply removed by hand with gentle force. I've been using some of these bottles for years now...

    How to fill? - easily. But why? The plastic parts of the mill have already outlived their usefulness after the first batch of spices. That's why it's plastic, that's what plastic is used for.

    It's better not to do this. They have plastic millstones and are short-lived. buy a normal mill with ceramic millstones.
