Nothing. The skillet and pepper are softer.

Grinders are for amateurs.
I wonder if you're pulling our leg.

Or did I need to say that? I'm a little slow sometimes.

I use an adjustable wooden upright grinder. The kind found under the arm of a waiter in a restaurant. In fact it came from a restaurant. The only problem is that it doesn't hold much. Still will last quite a while but I'm always thinking, "Is there any in there?" Then it comes out any size I wish with a quick turn of the nut on top.
