Red Lacquer 7-Inch Salt Mill

Freshly grinding pepper, salt, herbs and spices for cooking and seasoning comes with numerous benefits. Using a quality mill with a specifically designed grinding mechanism allows the release of the aromas and essential oils of the spice, resulting in more aroma and better flavor compared to pre-ground spices. It also offers control over the coarseness of the grind, allowing users to adjust according to their taste or necessity.

When choosing a pepper, salt or spice mill, it's important to consider the grinding mechanism, design and appearance, as well as ease of use. Peugeot is a renowned brand with a rich history dating back to the 19th century when the company started as a steel foundry and later expanded into producing a diverse range of high-quality products.

Peugeot's iconic pepper grinding mechanism has been in use since 1874 and is still widely considered the best pepper mechanism available. They also offer unique spice-specific mechanisms for salt, herbs, spices, coffee, wet salt, chili peppers, and nutmeg. Each mechanism is designed to get the most out of the specific spice it's intended for.

The patented Pepper Grinding Mechanism features a two-stage burr-style system that releases the essential oils from whole peppercorns, resulting in more flavor and aroma. The Salt Crushing Mechanism features two ribbed plates that fracture and crush coarse, dry sea salt to a consistent size. The u'Select system allows for quick and easy adjustment of the grind settings according to personal preferences and culinary needs.

To ensure the best results, Peugeot recommends using only specific types of peppercorns for their pepper mills, and dry, coarse sea salt or rock salt for their salt mills. It's important to avoid using damp salt or grinding other spices in the salt mill to prevent corrosion.

The Paris pepper and salt mills from Peugeot are traditional in style, made of turned beechwood, and offer the U-Select feature with six precision-grind settings. The grinding mechanism in the pepper mill uses case-hardened-steel grinding heads, while the salt mill uses 18/10 stainless steel to resist corrosion. The mills are available in various heights and finishes, offering a wide range of options.

Peugeot mills are easy to care for and are covered by a two-year replacement policy and a lifetime warranty on the grinding mechanism. This has made Peugeot a preferred brand by many fine restaurants and chefs.
