Know before you buy
No, the Peugeot Fidji is specifically engineered with a stainless steel mechanism designed exclusively for dry salt crystals. Using it for peppercorns or other spices may damage the mechanism and void your warranty.
You can adjust the grind texture by turning the stainless steel knob on the top of the mill. Tightening the knob produces a finer grind, while loosening it results in a coarser texture.
Yes, the mill is crafted from PEFC-certified beech wood with a matte black finish. While it is durable, it is best to wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth and avoid submerging it in water or using harsh cleaning chemicals.
This mill is designed for dry sea salt or rock salt crystals. It is not suitable for wet or moist sea salt, which can clog the mechanism.
Refilling is straightforward: simply unscrew the stainless steel top knob, remove the top section, and pour your dry salt crystals into the wooden body.
Peugeot provides a lifetime warranty on the stainless steel grinding mechanism itself, while the wooden body is covered by a 5-year manufacturer's warranty against defects.
