Je sais pas pourquoi j'ai over-analyzer le vidéo, mais :
Il exsite des kits avec une salière standard (de type shaker plutôt que grinder). La salière a le même look que la poivrière.
Dans le vidéo, on voit que la poivrière est sur la table (on peut voir le boulon d'ajustement). Le type de salière dans ces kit se remplis par le bas. On peut croire que le morceaux blanc qu'on voit est un lame, mais en fait c'est un bouchon vissable en plastique. Edit : On vois aussi à 0:30 qu'il n'y a pas de boulon pour ajuster le grain, c'est l'ouverture pour le sel.
Myth busted, il a legit salé son repas.
Have you considered a crank grinder instead? The buttons on some electric grinders are tricky, and if she’s arthritic enough to need an electric grinder then changing the batteries is likely to be an impossible challenge.
I'll throw my vote in for a sharpening stone. If he doesn't already have a nice sharpening set, maybe consider getting him something like a nice diamond sharpening stone; I've seen them for $50 or less.
Tools are always nice. Here are some suggestions to think about:
~ microplane grater
~ Japanese mandolines can be fun to have around.
~ Fish spatulas can be a handy tool.
~ Does he have a good quality peeler? Everyone has a "normal" peeler, but I like to have a good quality horizontal peeler, like one of these, to use sometimes.
~ Does he do a lot of baking? If so, maybe some silicone baking mats for his baking sheets, or maybe some parchment paper.
~ Does he like to use fresh citrus juice very much? Does he have a citrus reamer?
~ Does he like to use fresh garlic? Maybe a garlic press?
~ Silicone spatulas?
~ Does he have a pepper grinder for fresh ground pepper?
~ Does he have a set of mise en place bowls or something to use to keep his stuff organized when he's working?
~ Does he have a scale? You can find plenty of options for home-use digital scales that can weigh up to 11 or 12 pounds, and use either pounds, or grams (if he's doing anything metric.)
~ Something like a good quality cast iron pan can be a lifetime investment, because if they're well cared for, he'll be able to pass it on to his grandkids someday.
~ A dutch oven will always be useful to serious home cooks. The enameled cast iron type are very popular, but they come in many different sizes and shapes, so keep that in mind when picking one out.
~ Knives are always nice. Paring knife, utility knife, serrated slicer, etc.
Those are just a few suggestions that popped into mind. Good luck, I hope you find something nice for him.
this may be a bit niche, but i can fully recommend a Skeppshult grinder.
it grinds most spices with just a few twists, and even stubborn stuff like cumin or carraway are easier to grind than in a regular mortar.
also, it'll last a few generations. the clever cap/storage on top is just a nice bonus.
and since you mentioned you liked thai curries, I'll tip you off to a traditional south-asian mortar & pestle. it's much bigger/higher than regular mortars, what with the pestle looking more like a small baseball bat ;). it's great for the gnarliest substances like lemon grass.
between these two, i have no problem grinding really anything, including those yummy thai curry pastes (imo much better than from a blender).
btw, i use whole/freshly ground spices almost exclusively, mainly because i'm lazy ;). in the long run, it's much less fuss since whole spices keep much much longer + you can buy it in larger quantities. also, that's what most asian stores tend to carry anyway. (not mentioning the superior taste...)
Been using a Peppermate for about 5 years now. My grandmother has had hers for more like 15.
I like option to grind in to the plastic tub/reservoir instead of directly over the food. It's durable and sturdy. Not crazy about how it looks or the key-style grinding but see why they did it.
Still the best grinder I've owned, mainly because it still works.
I would highly recommend this one Trudeau 8- Inch Graviti Plus Pepper Mill my wife and I have one and love it and her aunt, who has grip strength issues, loved it and bought one too. We liked that it had a large capacity so you don’t have to fill it as often.
their testing notes
> At the end of testing, we finally found a winner to best the Unicorn Magnum Plus. The carbon steel grind mechanism in our winning model features seven large grooves on the nut (most have only five) that taper into finer grooves at the base. These allow it to swiftly channel peppercorns toward the deep, sharp serrations on its ring, for fast, efficient grinding. Its spring provides just the right tension to bring the nut and the ring the appropriate distance together (or apart) to create a uniform grind in each of its six fixed, clearly marked grind sizes. We also appreciated its clear acrylic body, which allows you to track when you need a refill.

UPDATE: JULY 2013
The test kitchen puts all its favorite equipment to heavy daily use, and our winning Derwent pepper mill from Cole & Mason is no exception. As a result, we’ve noticed that the black dots marking the grind size settings have worn off this pepper mill over the last several months. As an interim solution to the problem, Cole & Mason has changed to hammering in the dot markings on this pepper mill. Later this year, this mill will feature laser-etched markings, according to a company spokesman. We plan to test it and report our findings at that time.
OTHER RUNNER-UPS:
> Our old favorite remains fast and efficient, with a generous capacity and a smooth operation, but its “fine” grind looked more like medium. There are no fixed grind settings, requiring trial and error to get the right grind size, and the loading ring twisted open during grinding, spilling out peppercorns.
Not the cheapest but here ya go: Peugeot Paris Chef u'Select Stainless Steel 7" Pepper & Salt Mill Set https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N1Y74YP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_qhOUDbC7N0WZX
Read the description and it describes the mechanism for both grinders (theyre different) as being steel.
Pepper uses case hardened steel 2-stage grinding system.
Salt uses 18/10 stainless mechanism
Body of both is full stainless.
Edit: I just hit the “copy” button on the amazon app but looking at the link it looks like an affiliate link so if you want just search “Peugot Paris mill set” and you’ll find it
Joy! I found this which seems like it could fit the bill. Do you have any idea what is the output size required to be finer than what is the run of the mill (pun not intended) kratom grain size? I'm completely ignorant on that regard.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Yes Kuhn-Rikon makes the best hand held I've used. I like ( amnobsessed) a good mill.
Maybe these?

My mom has had an older version of this for years, and I think it's pretty sweet. You tip it upside down (or sideways, I guess with this newer model) and it starts grinding pepper for you.
Also not a pro, and I am somewhat late to respond. But I haven't seen anyone mention a high output lever ratchet style pepper mill. IMO, it's a great balance between cost and volume for a home chef. Ours is from Kuhn Rikon. It cost us just ~$20 at the local Sur La Table (but, Amazon carries it as well).
I can say that it has completely usurped our old pepper mill, which had been causing us to reach into pre-ground pepper for making pepper of any significant quantity. But, I can easily crank out voluminous pepper in mere seconds. If you want to capture the output, hold a little bowl or ramekin to the base with the opposite hand and crank away.
Which OXO? This one? - https://www.amazon.com/OXO-Good-Grips-Pepper-Natural/dp/B011KFIB9A/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1504294527&sr=8-6&keywords=oxo+pepper+mill

Hi folks. I need some help, and I am a total noob when it comes to joining metal. I'd like to add a handle to this salt and pepper tray. Something like a cross between this and this. I'd like to use either stainless steel rod or copper rod, and I'd like to bend it to the shapes I have in mind and join the rod pieces together. What would be the best way to do that? Any suggestions on stainless vs copper? And would a cheap soldering iron work (I've got one... just not sure if the cheap solder I've got would work...)? Thanks in advance for your help. :)
For a manual pepper mill, I use this guy, and it's been solid and easy to grip with wet hands etc. for years. Key to a good manual mill is steel mechanism.

For larger amounts, I just use an electric coffee bean grinder (plug-in), with the bonus that it can handle other large spices as well(nutmeg, rosemary, allspice, etc.). This guy gives me about 1/3 cup in ground spices/pepper, I often blend various types of peppercorn to match with specific dishes.

After a series of broken pepper grinders (some of which were pricey), I picked up a couple of William Bounds ones off of Amazon after some research. They've held up for at least 10 years and I'm very happy with them. Edit [This one is very similar to what I have.] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005747W3W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_qc1PybH84HY2B)
