Know before you buy
The U'Select system features a ring at the base of the mill with six numbered settings. Simply twist the ring to click into your preferred coarseness, ranging from a fine powder to a coarse grind, ensuring consistent results every time.
This mill is specifically designed for dry sea salt or rock salt. It should not be used for wet sea salt, as the moisture can damage the grinding mechanism.
Zirconia is an incredibly hard, ceramic-like material that is highly resistant to corrosion and wear. It ensures a smooth, precise grind and is specifically engineered to maintain its sharpness over a lifetime of use.
Refilling is straightforward: unscrew the metal knob at the top of the mill to remove the wooden cap. Pour your salt into the reservoir, replace the cap, and tighten the knob to secure it.
Peugeot offers a lifetime limited guarantee on the grinding mechanism itself, ensuring it remains functional for as long as you own the product. The wooden body of the mill is covered by a 5-year warranty.
Because the body is made of natural wood, it should be wiped clean with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water or cleaning agents, and keep the mill away from high-heat areas like the stovetop to prevent the wood from warping.
