The Advantages of Freshly Grinding Pepper, Herbs, and Spices

Freshly grinding pepper, herbs, and spices offers numerous advantages for cooking and seasoning. A quality mill with a purpose-designed grinding mechanism can release the aromas and essential oils of the spice, resulting in more aroma and better flavor compared to pre-ground versions. Another key benefit of using a mill is the ability to control the coarseness or size of the grind, allowing you to adjust it to suit your taste or the dish's requirements.

When selecting a pepper, salt, or spice grinder, several factors should be considered:

Grinding Mechanism: Choose a well-made, durable mechanism that can withstand daily use and is designed to handle the specific characteristics of the intended spice.

Design and Appearance: Whether traditional or modern, manual or electric, the mill should be a functional and visually appealing addition to your kitchen and table decor.

Ease of Use: The mill should be easy to adjust, fill, and comfortable to hold.

Peugeot, a company with a rich history dating back to the 19th century, is renowned for its exceptional quality and innovative grinding mechanisms. In 1874, Peugeot adapted its burr-style coffee grinder to accommodate peppercorns, creating a design that is still used in every Peugeot pepper mill today.

Peugeot's commitment to quality and innovation is evident in its range of spice-specific grinding mechanisms, each designed to extract the maximum flavor and aroma from the intended ingredient. The company offers six unique mechanisms, in addition to the original burr-style coffee grinder, ensuring the ideal solution for pepper, salt, herbs, spices, coffee, wet salt, chili peppers, and nutmeg.

The Peugeot Pepper Grinding Mechanism is a two-stage burr-style system, with helical-shaped grooves and grinding teeth that guide the peppercorns through the mechanism, cracking and grinding them to a consistent size. This process releases the pepper's essential oils, resulting in enhanced flavor and aroma.

Similarly, the Peugeot Salt Crushing Mechanism features two ribbed plates that work to fracture and crush coarse, dry sea salt to a consistent size. This corrosion-resistant stainless-steel mechanism is found on every Peugeot Salt Mill.

Peugeot's patented u'Select grind control system allows for quick, easy, and accurate adjustment of the grind settings, from coarse to fine, for both pepper and salt. This feature ensures the right grind for any dish, as different stages of the cooking process and various dishes often call for seasonings of varying sizes.

In addition to their renowned grinding mechanisms, Peugeot mills and grinders are designed for user-friendly operation and visual appeal, making them indispensable tools in world-class kitchens. With a lifetime guarantee on the grinding mechanism, Peugeot mills continue to set the benchmark for the industry.
