Peugeot Daman U'Select Shaftless 6.5 Inch Salt Mill, Stainless Steel

Freshly grinding pepper, salt, herbs, and spices offers numerous benefits for cooking and seasoning. A quality mill with a purpose-designed grinding mechanism will release the aromas and essential oils of the spice. Compared to pre-ground variants, freshly ground pepper and spices possess more aroma and better flavor. Another advantage of using freshly ground spices or minerals (salts) is the control a mill provides over the grind coarseness (size). A high-quality pepper, salt, or spice mill allows you to choose and change the grind according to taste or necessity.

When selecting a pepper, salt, or spice grinder, consider the following: Grinding mechanism - Choose a mechanism that can withstand daily use, is well-made, and produces a consistent grind. Ideally, the grinding mechanism should be designed to handle a specific spice, as each has different physical characteristics that benefit from different design features. Design and appearance - Whether traditional or modern, manual or electric, a mill can be an indispensable kitchen tool and a beautiful part of table decor. Ease of use - A quality mill should be easy to adjust, easy to fill, and comfortable in the hand.

Peugeot's story began in the 19th century when the Peugeot brothers converted the family's gristmill into a steel foundry. They immediately began producing award-winning hand tools and went on to create a diverse range of exceptional quality products, including small appliances, bicycles, and most notably, automobiles. (The Peugeot car company continues the same commitment to quality and innovation that is a Peugeot hallmark, though now operating as a separate entity.)

In 1840, Peugeot created their burr-style coffee grinder and adapted that design to accommodate peppercorns in 1874. This pepper mechanism design is still used in every Peugeot pepper mill today. Peugeot's iconic pepper grinding mechanism is often copied but never equaled. Currently, Peugeot offers six unique spice-specific mechanisms plus the original burr-style coffee grinder. There are no shortcuts: each mechanism is designed to get the most out of the intended spices.

After more than 160 years, Peugeot mills and grinders remain the industry benchmark and the mill of choice in world-class kitchens. The primary difference between Peugeot and other brands is the spice-specific mechanisms. Peugeot has seven unique grinding mechanisms for pepper, salt, herbs, spices, coffee, wet salt, chili peppers, and nutmeg. Each spice has one - and only one - Peugeot grinding mechanism, made of the ideal design and materials for its intended use. All Peugeot mechanisms are made in France and carry a lifetime limited warranty.

Peugeot's patented u'Select grind control system for electric and manual grinders allows quick, easy, and accurate adjustment of grind settings. From coarsely ground pepper or salt to very fine, u'Select offers six pre-defined levels of grind for pepper or salt, or any point in between. Simply turn the ring at the base of the mill to select your desired grind size, with the assurance that the grind will be consistent, time after time.
