    Are my black pepper corns OK?

    Question about peppercorns

    I have always used whole peppercorns. Sometimes I get this kind, sometimes I get that kind. I fit as many as the thing will hold on the peppermill and toast them in a pan, let them cool, and put them in the pepper grinder. That has always been my go-to. I see many recipes call for black...
