If salt is the king of spices then pepper is surely the queen. This fiery ingredient adds flavor to almost everything even occasionally taking the lead (like in cacio e pepe pasta).

How to Open and Refill a Disposable Salt or Pepper Mill – Stonemill McCormick Kirkland Costco etc.
The latter gives a stronger and longer lasting flavor as the essential oils are safely stored in the hard shell of the peppercorn until the moment they are ground. Using pepper from a pepper mill also gives you more control over how much flavor you want a dish to have not only by how much you ultimately grind but also by the size of the grind itself.
There’s just one small problem: filling a pepper mill to get that flavor is easier said than done. You know what we’re talking about: peppercorns bounce everywhere except where they’re supposed to be. But fear not this notoriously difficult task is about to get a whole lot easier thanks to an extremely simple hack that only requires one tool: a ziplock bag or a bowl.
Simply place the pepper mill in the center of your chosen appliance and then fill it with your hands. In either case bigger is better—especially if you have a mill on the larger side. The idea is that any stray peppercorns will end up in the bag or bowl instead of rolling across the counter and onto the floor out of sight.
