Favorite Review :
My favourite review is for theFina Mill Spice Grinder . When I first saw this product , I thought it was a routine gimmicky , but once I test it and saw how ready to hand it is to be able to add salt or pepper ( or other spices ) to your repast using one hand . It ’s been a fantastic addition to my kitchen . Even changing between the salt and capsicum pepper plant can be done one - handed , and this gadget now lives in a place of honor on my kitchen parry – high praise since I like to stash away most items aside .
