Know before you buy
The u'Select system is a ring at the base of the mill that allows you to choose from six pre-defined grind settings. Simply twist the ring to lock in your preferred coarseness, ranging from a fine powder to a coarse crack.
The pepper mill is specifically engineered for dry peppercorns, while the salt mill is designed for dry sea salt or rock salt. Using them for other spices or damp salts may damage the grinding mechanism.
To refill, unscrew the metal knob on the top of the mill, remove the wooden cap, and pour your salt or peppercorns into the reservoir. Be careful not to overfill to ensure the mechanism operates smoothly.
Yes. Peugeot uses a hardened steel mechanism for the pepper mill to crack peppercorns, and a corrosion-resistant ceramic mechanism for the salt mill to handle the abrasive nature of salt crystals.
Wipe the exterior with a soft, slightly damp cloth to maintain the high-gloss finish. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, and never submerge the mills in water, as this can warp the wood.
The 12-inch size is substantial and makes a bold visual statement on a dining table. While it holds a generous amount of spice, it is best suited for those who prefer a larger, heavier mill that doesn't require frequent refilling.
