For a brand to get the backing of Gordon Ramsay it has to be pretty special, and HexClad is no exception. It was Ramsay who first introduced me to the brand a few years ago, when I got to visit his cooking academy and hear from the man himself why he thinks this brand is such a game-changer. And it's true — I'm a huge fan of HexClad's genius hybrid technology that combines the convenience of nonstick with the quality and durability of stainless steel. To add to my collection, I recently discovered the joys of its HexMill salt and pepper grinders, and I'm never going back.
I've been using the same grinders since I went to college, and while they were nothing special, I'd never had any major complaints. After all, my meals always ended up well-seasoned, and although re-filling was a pain, I only had to do it every couple of months. HexClad has fixed all the complaints I never even knew I had with my old grinder, including an easily removable lid for quick refills, fully adjustable grind sizes, and a much higher output than most grinders, saving me time and my wrists a bit of aching when whipping up cacio é pepe.
