The long pepper cones are my favorite! My large-spice grinder never leaves the countertop, because it is my favorite “luxury” seasoning to add to any dish when I want it to feel special. Much more robust bouquet than normal peppercorns!

I bought a denim one a couple of years ago, and love it so much I added a new one and a different color. I wear it every time I cook. It washes beautifully and I let it hang dry so So that there are no wrinkles.. I think they are the best aprons on the market.

I’ve never had nice salt and pepper mills tbh, and after using these, I’ve been real impressed! They are very attractive which is what drew me to them. The size is perfect to fit comfortably in my hands. The grinding function works very well. Form and function.

Really like the taste. Will buy again

GET THIS PEPPER MILL.

I LOVE my new salt & pepper grinders‼️ They were meant for table top only, but I use them at the stove as well. I passed your Reluctant name on to a friend who is looking for a similar set. Also thanks for shipping UPS. They arrived in NH without a hitch😃You guys are GREAT!!!!!!!

Icelandic sea salt is my favorite salt. It is a wet salt and I use it on just about everything. Also they have Tellicherry Black whole peppercorns,restaurant and organic versions. This is the only place I buy my salt and pepper since 2015.

I was born and raised in south India, but living stateside for the last couple decades. Cooking is a passion and a form of relaxation for me after a stressful day. I like spending a lot of time and money, sourcing the best ingredients and preparing spices and masalas from scratch.

I found Reluctant trading looking for fresh pepper. When I saw that they also carried pre-ground spice mixes, garam masala and curry powder, I was skeptical, especially since it was made by someone named ‘Scott’. But I was so happy with everything else that reluctant trading has on their sit,. I decided to give it a try.

And boy was I wrong. Turns out being good at what you do and craftsmanship does not necessarily belong to one ethnicity or color.

Indian masalas with the same name can have a wide range of flavor profiles made by varying the kinds of ingredients and their proportions. I really like Scott’s versions, especially their curry powder. Most traditional Indian recipes do not have a generic curry powder, other than garam masala. But I like using Scott’s curry powder when the recipe calls for something other than masala or I’ll add it to alter the flavors and aroma a bit.

Try it and you won’t regret it.

Great aprons. Durable, comfortable, affordable. I’ll be buying more.

Wonderful aprons. I got the classic aprons. After one wash they fit well and get me through my shifts. I’ll be buying more soon!

I bought the No.4 restaurant variety pepper corns based on an article I read in the New Yorker. I was curious about how they would compare to the bulk peppercorns I had been buying from a local big box store. Those were about the same as the small jars available from the local supermarket, but much cheaper. I don’t consider myself a serious gourmet chef, but I do enjoy cooking at home and prefer to use quality ingredients. I only had to see and smell the Reluctant Trading product to notice a huge difference — much more aromatic and flavorful. These will be my preferred brand from now on, for table-side grinding as well as for homemade spice mixes.

I liked the simple beautiful packaging that kept the flavorful peppercorns very fresh. I liked the reasonable delivery time.

Always need this on hand. No other salt will do!

Reluctant’s spices are incredibly aromatic and intense. Scott and Divakar have procured the finest.

I was truly excited when I saw this product existed -- the Bollywood Theater pork vindaloo is one of my all time favorite dishes, and we never order enough. With this, it's a problem no more! The recipe was straightforward, and the results were so similar to the restaurant it's practicually indistinguishable. Don't worry, Chef MacLarty, I'll still be visiting for the Bhel Puri and beets!

I love this kit, and it made a. great version of Pho, a faux pho. Not because of the kit but my lack of skill at creating such a wonderful dish with so many hours of prep. All the work was done for me and the aromatics I have bought and used. The noodles were cravable and slurp-worthy. I hate fish sauce, but it added complexity and "umami" to the dish. So I'm glad I used it. I buy so many spices from Reluctant. P.S. They shipped the same day. You can plan a weekend dinner on Thursday and order the spices; they will be there on time.

My son was delighted, yea thrilled, with your salt and pepper and with the apron. I think he liked the presentation as much as the quality. I was going to treat myself next, but he indicated his plan to send me some salt and pepper for my upcoming birthday. If he forgets, I will be back to you. Don’t be shy about your happy dance! The world needs more happy dancing. You have a great product, well executed.

I have used this chai for around 6 years. It is so good and flavorful with the best spicy kick to it. This company also has the best customer relations I have ever had. Tea is not a big thing in Utah, where I live, and it is hard to find a good chai.

Recently bought from the elegant description in Reluctant Trading Experiment’s site. And it is elegant and feels good in my hand and looks good on the kitchen counter top (my wife appreciates my good taste). I am using it for Tellicherry pepper I also bought at RTE. So pleased and so will you be, too, if you decide to make this purchase yourselves.

It’s my favorite pepper!!!

It’s my favorite pepper!!!!

The salt looks great, tastes great and is handsomely packaged! Thank you!

Loved the 004's! I love lots of fresh pepper and have been an exclusive Tellicherry fan for many decades.
Your 004's are so fresh and spicy! Thank you for delicious (reluctant) service!
