Know before you buy
The stainless steel mechanism is designed to first crack the peppercorn to release its essential oils, followed by a secondary grind to achieve your desired texture. This process ensures a more potent and flavorful seasoning compared to standard single-stage mills.
Yes, the mill features an adjustable setting that allows you to customize the grind from a fine powder to a coarse crack, depending on your culinary needs.
To keep the hardwood finish in good condition, simply wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and dry it immediately. Avoid submerging the mill in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the wood.
The 4-inch model is compact and ideal for table use, while the 7-inch and 12-inch versions offer a larger capacity and more leverage, making them better suited for frequent cooking tasks in the kitchen.
These mills are specifically engineered for peppercorns. Using them for salt may cause the stainless steel mechanism to corrode over time, so it is best to stick to black peppercorns.
