A Twist or Two to Finely Ground Chile Flakes A sleek pepper grinder boldly banded in red is able to crush red chile flakes at the table or in the kitchen, dispensing them easily and more finely ground with a twist or two. The mill, which has a larger ceramic grinding mechanism than a typical pepper mill to handle the flakes, can neatly pulverize whole small dried red chiles, too. It comes filled with chile flakes and is also available in stainless steel, if that's what your décor demands. Trudeau Red Pepper Mill in red is $19.99 from shoptrudeau.com and amazon.com, and $29.95 in stainless steel from chefscatalog.com.
