I gave up on pepper grinders some years ago. I remember wondering if peppercorns were getting bigger -- too big to engage correctly with the grinding mechanism.

I have always had problems with pepper grinders. I have had good luck with this one from Oxo:

eta: if you read the reviews on Amazon, most people will say they like it but the bottom could use a slightly better design. I have to agree with that. It's a good grinder but if it's not shut properly, it will spill pepper all over the place. I had forgotten about it until I read the reviews.

@marylago I keep three of these grinders in a glass butter dish bottom in the spice cabinet to collect all the stray grinds!

That's funny - I use a butter dish tray for the same purpose. I think almost any pepper/salt grinder will have some seepage, but as long as it's contained on a tray, I don't mind. I just want it to be easy to fill and easy to grind.

Thanks guys (re: the stove!) It is a Thermador Dual Fuel that we put in about 13 years ago and have loved every minute of it!

If they all broke at once it's probably a humidity issue.

I am seriously stumped by how they could all seize up at once. They are full of peppercorns but when I twist nothing gets ground. I have fiddled with coarseness of grind with no success.
Suggestions?
