Adjustable Pepper Mill Grinder - 12-Inch Beechwood Chocolate

Freshly grinding pepper, salt, herbs, and spices for cooking and seasoning offers many benefits. Using a quality mill with a specifically designed grinding mechanism will release the aromas and essential oils of the spice, resulting in more aroma and better flavor compared to pre-ground options. Another advantage of freshly ground spices and minerals (salts) is the control it provides for determining the coarseness of the grind. A high-quality mill allows you to choose and change the coarseness according to taste or necessity.

When searching for a pepper, salt, or spice grinder, it is important to consider the grinding mechanism, design and appearance, and ease of use. Peugeot, a brand with a rich history in producing quality products, offers a range of mills with exceptional grinding mechanisms. In the 19th century, the Peugeot brothers converted their family's gristmill into a steel foundry and began producing hand tools before venturing into other products like small appliances, bicycles, and automobiles.

Peugeot's iconic pepper grinding mechanism, developed in 1874, is still used in every Peugeot pepper mill today. The mechanism features two-stage burr-style grinding for optimal flavor extraction. The salt crushing mechanism, made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel, is found in every Peugeot salt mill. The brand's u'Select system allows for easy adjustment of grind settings for both pepper and salt mills.

For the best results, it is recommended to use dry, hard, whole peppercorns or coarse sea salt in Peugeot mills. The company's Paris pepper and salt mills are traditionally designed and offer precision grinding settings ranging from extra-coarse to powdery. The difference between the salt and pepper mills lies in the construction of the grinding mechanism. Peugeot pepper mills use case-hardened-steel grinding heads, while the salt mills feature stainless steel mechanisms to prevent corrosion.

Peugeot mills are available in a variety of finishes and heights, and care is simple with routine cleaning. Made in France, Peugeot offers a two-year replacement policy for their mills and a lifetime warranty on the grinding mechanisms, making them a preferred brand in fine restaurants and kitchens around the world.
