We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. We don’t know about you, but when Ina Garten speaks up about her favorite tips for cooking and entertaining, we listen. Garten is also known as the Barefoot Contessa for her Food Network series, cookbooks, and career-launching specialty food store and catering business of the same name (via her official website). She’s also a cooking and hosting doyenne whose level of influence in the industry can only be rivaled by her pal Martha Stewart (via People).
We have paid close attention to the recipes and advice Garten has offered over the years, from the ingredient she calls her “secret weapon” (hint: it’s booze) to the vanilla brand she swears by (it’s Nielsen-Massey). So when we noticed that the Barefoot Contessa seems to have an affinity for a particular brand of pepper mill, we knew it would be worth taking a closer look at that, too. Read on to find out more about this favored kitchen gadget.

Garten is also a devotee of basic but functional kitchen tools that help get the job done. A comprehensive list on her website includes Contessa favorites such as a wooden citrus reamer and a Krups coffee grinder for milling dried spices. And in an Instagram video in which she demonstrates a homemade crouton recipe, Garten busts out an intriguing-looking white plastic pepper mill with a little tray on the bottom for catching the ground pepper.
