Know before you buy
Yes, the mill is designed to be versatile and works perfectly for either rock salt or black peppercorns. Because it is sold as a single unit, you can choose which spice you prefer to use it for.
Refilling is straightforward. Simply unscrew the base of the mill to access the internal chamber, add your salt or peppercorns, and screw the base back on securely.
No, this model does not feature an adjustable grind setting. It is designed to provide a consistent, standard grind suitable for everyday seasoning.
The mill is equipped with a durable ceramic grinding mechanism. Ceramic is an excellent choice for spice mills because it is corrosion-resistant and won't absorb flavors, making it ideal for both salt and pepper.
To maintain the luster of the eight-coat lacquer finish, simply wipe the exterior with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges that could scratch or dull the surface.
