Season to taste with this sleek pepper grinder

When that steak or fish is sizzling on the grill and it’s time to sprinkle it with seasoning, try this new ratchet pepper grinder (about $20). The smartly designed mill comes in red, green, blue, and other colors. Designed in Switzerland by Kuhn Rikon, who have been making precision kitchen tools for more than 80 years, the grinder has an ample side pocket for filling with pepper, salt, seeds, or spices and an adjustable ceramic grinding mechanism. Each back-and-forth movement of the ratchet handle delivers.  Available at Kitchen Outfitters, Acton Woods Plaza, 342 Great Road, Acton, 978-263-1955; KitchenWares by Blackstones, 215 Newbury St., Boston, 857-366-4237; Tags Hardware, Porter Square Shopping Center, 29 White St., Cambridge, 617-868-7711.  JEAN KRESSY
