Know before you buy
Yes, but it is best to dedicate one mill to each. The internal mechanisms are specifically engineered for the hardness of either peppercorns or dry rock salt, so using them interchangeably can affect performance.
You can adjust the grind by turning the knob on the top of the mill. It features six distinct settings, allowing you to choose anything from a fine powder to a coarse, cracked texture.
This mill is designed specifically for dry rock salt with crystals no larger than 4mm. It is not suitable for sea salt or wet salts, which can corrode the stainless steel mechanism.
Yes, the mill is crafted from high-quality, PEFC-certified beech wood. While it is durable, it is best to wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth rather than submerging it in water to maintain the wood's integrity.
The difference is purely aesthetic and ergonomic. The 7-inch model is compact and ideal for tabletop use, while the 12-inch model offers a larger capacity and a more substantial grip for heavy-duty cooking tasks.
