Know before you buy
The pepper mill features a durable metal mechanism designed to crush peppercorns effectively. The salt mill uses a plastic mechanism to prevent corrosion, as salt can cause metal components to rust over time.
You can manually adjust the grind size by manipulating the adjustment mechanism at the base or top of the mill. This allows you to switch easily between a fine powder for seasoning or a coarse grind for added texture.
The natural brass body is designed to develop a unique patina as it ages, which adds character to the piece. If you prefer a bright, polished look, you can use a brass cleaner, but many users appreciate the vintage aesthetic the darkening finish provides.
Simply wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or fingerprints. Do not submerge the mills in water or place them in the dishwasher, as moisture can damage the internal mechanisms and the brass finish.
These mills are specifically engineered for salt and peppercorns. Using them for other spices or dried herbs may clog the mechanism or affect the performance of the grinder.
