Freshly ground pepper, salt, herbs, and spices offer numerous benefits for cooking and seasoning. When you use a quality mill with a well-designed grinding mechanism, it releases the aromas and essential oils of the spice, resulting in a superior flavor. Freshly ground pepper and spices have a more pronounced aroma and better taste compared to pre-ground varieties. Additionally, grinding your own spices allows you to control the coarseness of the grind, giving you a tailored experience.
When selecting a grinder for pepper, salt, or spices, consider the following factors:
Grinding mechanism: Look for a mechanism that can withstand daily use and consistently produce a desired grind. Different spices have distinct physical characteristics, so it's ideal to choose a grinder specifically designed for each spice.
Design and appearance: Whether you prefer a traditional or modern style, a grinder can be both a functional tool in your kitchen and a beautiful addition to your table decor.
Ease of use: A high-quality mill should be easy to adjust, refill, and hold comfortably.
Peugeot, a reputable brand, has a rich history in producing exceptional products. In the 19th century, the Peugeot brothers converted their family's gristmill into a steel foundry and began manufacturing award-winning hand tools. Over the years, they expanded their range to include small appliances, bicycles, and automobiles. Peugeot's commitment to quality and innovation continues to this day.
In 1840, Peugeot introduced the burr style coffee grinder and later adapted it to accommodate peppercorns in 1874. The resulting pepper grinding mechanism, which is still used today, is iconic and unmatched. Peugeot now offers six unique spice-specific mechanisms, each designed to maximize the potential of the spice it's intended for. Peugeot mills and grinders have earned a reputation as industry benchmarks for over 160 years and are trusted by world-class chefs.
What sets Peugeot apart from other brands is their spice-specific mechanisms. Peugeot has seven distinct mechanisms tailored for pepper, salt, herbs and spices, coffee, wet salt, chili peppers, and nutmeg. Each mechanism is crafted with precision and the best materials to ensure optimal performance.
Peugeot's pepper grinding mechanism follows a two-stage burr-style system. The helix-shaped grooves and grinding teeth are individually cut during production and then case hardened for exceptional durability. This proprietary process increases resistance against corrosion. As you use the pepper mill, the grooves guide the peppercorns, first cracking them and then grinding them to a consistent size. This process maximizes the release of essential oils, resulting in enhanced flavor and aroma. The pepper mechanism, found in every Peugeot Pepper mill, is widely regarded as the best in the industry.
For salt grinding, Peugeot employs a mechanism that features two ribbed plates. These plates work together to fracture and crush coarse, dry sea salt, ensuring a uniform size. The salt grinding mechanism is made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel and is found in every Peugeot Salt mill.
The spice mechanism, made of ceramic, is specifically designed to grind dried spices and flat leafy herbs. It excels at releasing the essential oils of dried aromatic herbs such as thyme, parsley, basil, oregano, and herbs de Provence, as well as dried seeds like cumin.
Peugeot's chili pepper mechanism is made of case-hardened steel for optimal hardness and resilience. This patented mechanism includes a pre-cutting system and dual chamber reservoir, making it ideal for dry, hot chilis like birds tongue, African devils, and Piri Piri.
The nutmeg shaving mechanism is constructed with corrosion-resistant treated stainless steel, ensuring superior edge retention. Equipped with a double stainless steel grater blade and a strong claw, the Peugeot nutmeg shaver finely shaves the whole nutmeg while keeping your fingers safe.
For wet sea salt, Peugeot's mechanism features a spiral design that guides the salt and prevents clumping. The ceramic construction is ideal for damp sea salts like Sel de Guerande, as it is both soft (allowing ease of wear) and resistant to corrosion.
Peugeot's coffee grinding mechanism, present in all their coffee mills, forms the foundation of their grinding legacy. The case-hardened steel mechanism efficiently cracks and grinds coffee beans to the desired consistency, from espresso fine to coffee-press coarse.
Manual mills without the u'Select system can be adjusted by turning the top knob. Clockwise rotation produces a finer grind, while counterclockwise rotation achieves a coarser grind. Electric mills allow for single-handed use, with a simple button press to initiate grinding. To adjust the grind on an electric mill, turn the thumbwheel grind adjustment located below the grinding mechanism. Clockwise rotation results in a finer grind, whereas counterclockwise rotation creates a coarser grind.
Classic Electric Salt Mills without the u'Select system are pre-set to medium and cannot be adjusted.
The Peugeot mill stands 12 inches tall and features a chocolate finish. Its 2-stage grinding mechanism is made of specially treated, case-hardened steel that keeps the teeth razor sharp and protected from corrosion. This mechanism cracks each peppercorn before grinding, ensuring maximum flavor and aroma in every use.
All Peugeot mills are made in France and are partially filled with pepper at the factory as part of final assembly and testing.
