Peugeot Paris Manual Salt Mill - Classic Adjustable Beechwood Grinder, 7 Inch

The benefits of freshly grinding pepper, salt, herbs, and spices for cooking and seasoning are numerous. A quality mill with a specifically designed grinding mechanism will release the aromas and essential oils of the spice. Freshly ground pepper and spices have more aroma and better flavor than pre-ground. Another advantage is the control a mill provides for determining the coarseness (size) of the grind, allowing you to choose and change the texture according to taste or necessity.

When selecting a pepper, salt, or spice grinder, consider the grinding mechanism, design and appearance, and ease of use. The grinding mechanism should be well-made and produce a consistent grind, ideally designed to handle the specific spice. The mill's design can be traditional or modern, manual or electric, and should be an indispensable kitchen tool and a beautiful part of table decor. Ease of use is crucial – the mill should be easy to adjust, fill, and feel comfortable in the hand.

Peugeot's story dates back to the 19th century, when the Peugeot brothers converted the family's gristmill into a steel foundry. They soon began producing award-winning hand tools and a diverse range of exceptional quality products, including small appliances, bicycles, and automobiles. In 1840, Peugeot created their burr-style coffee grinder and adapted the design to accommodate peppercorns in 1874, a mechanism still used in every Peugeot pepper mill today.

Peugeot's spice-specific mechanisms are the primary difference between their products and other brands. They offer seven unique mechanisms for pepper, salt, herbs and spices, coffee, wet salt, chili peppers, and nutmeg. Each mechanism is designed and constructed from the best materials to get the most out of the intended spice, with all mechanisms made in France and carrying a lifetime limited warranty.

Peugeot's Pepper Grinding Mechanism is a two-stage burr-style system that cracks and grinds peppercorns to a consistent size, releasing their essential oils for maximum flavor and aroma. Their Salt Crushing Mechanism features corrosion-resistant stainless steel plates that fracture and crush coarse, dry sea salt. The Spice Mechanism is made of ceramic and effectively grinds dried spices and herbs, while the Chili Pepper Mechanism's pre-cutting system and dual chamber reservoir is designed for dry, hot chilis.

Peugeot's Nutmeg Shaving Mechanism features a double stainless steel grater blade and a strong claw to finely shave whole nutmeg nuts, and the Wet Salt Mechanism's spiral guide prevents corrosive wet salt crystals from sticking together. The Coffee Grinding Mechanism found in all Peugeot coffee mills is the foundation of their grinding legacy, efficiently cracking and grinding beans to the desired consistency.

Peugeot's Paris pepper and salt mills, traditionally styled in beechwood, offer a classic look and exceptional performance. The difference lies in the grinding mechanisms, with the pepper mill using case-hardened steel and the salt mill using corrosion-resistant stainless steel. These mills make exceptional gifts, available in a wide range of heights and finishes, and are covered by a two-year replacement policy, with the grinding mechanisms backed by a lifetime warranty.
