Know before you buy
The u'Select system is a patented adjustment ring at the base of the mill that allows you to choose between six pre-defined grind settings. Simply twist the ring to click into your desired coarseness, ranging from an ultrafine powder to a coarse, crunchy texture.
Yes, they are engineered specifically for their respective spices. The pepper mill uses a case-hardened steel mechanism designed to crack peppercorns to release their full aroma, while the salt mill features a corrosion-resistant Zirlion mechanism to prevent damage from salt moisture.
No, these mills are specifically calibrated for dry peppercorns and dry coarse salt. Using them for other spices or herbs may damage the internal mechanisms or cause clogging.
The exterior is crafted from sustainable beech wood and should be cleaned by wiping it down with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water, detergents, or placing the mills in the dishwasher, as moisture can cause the wood to warp or crack.
Peugeot mills are traditionally identified by the knob on top: the pepper mill knob is typically marked with a 'P' or is slightly looser to allow for the cracking mechanism, while the salt mill is marked with an 'S'. Additionally, the internal mechanisms are distinct if you look inside the base.
Yes, refilling is straightforward. You simply unscrew the top knob, remove the wooden cap, and pour your peppercorns or coarse salt into the reservoir before replacing the cap and tightening the knob.
