Coarse vs. Fine
Fine ground pepper distributes evenly but can burn quickly on high heat. Coarse cracked pepper stays on the surface, creates texture, and handles searing better. Use fine ground for sauces and seasoning during cooking. Use butcher's pepper for finishing, crusting, and anywhere you want pepper to be a feature.
