Peugeot Paris u'Select Pepper Mill, 4.73in, Natural

Freshly grinding pepper, salt, herbs, and spices brings numerous advantages to cooking and seasoning. Utilizing a high-quality mill equipped with an expertly crafted grinding mechanism unlocks the full potential of spices, allowing their aromas and essential oils to be beautifully released. Compared to pre-ground varieties, freshly ground spices deliver superior aroma and enhanced flavor.

One notable benefit of freshly ground spices or salts is the control a quality mill offers for determining the coarseness of the grind. A premium salt, pepper, or spice mill allows users to adjust the grind size based on individual tastes or specific culinary needs. When selecting a grinder, consider several important factors.

Grinding Mechanism: It’s crucial to choose a mill with a durable grinding mechanism that can withstand regular usage. A well-engineered mechanism yields a consistent grind and is tailored to accommodate the unique characteristics of specific spices.

Design and Appearance: Whether you prefer a traditional look or a modern aesthetic, the mill should not only be functional but also serve as an attractive addition to your kitchen or dining table.

Ease of Use: The best mills are designed for functionality. They should be easy to adjust, simple to refill, and comfortable to handle.

Peugeot's journey began in the 19th century, when the Peugeot brothers transformed their family gristmill into a steel foundry, quickly gaining recognition for exceptional hand tools and eventually branching out to other products, including appliances and automobiles. Notably, Peugeot maintains a reputation for quality and innovation, continuing the legacy established long ago.

In 1840, Peugeot developed a burr-style coffee grinder, and by 1874, this design was adapted for peppercorns, resulting in a mechanism that endures to this day in all Peugeot pepper mills. Peugeot’s pepper grinding mechanism is frequently imitated but never matched. They now offer six unique mechanisms for various spices and the original coffee grinder, with all options designed to maximize flavor.

A key distinguishing factor of Peugeot mills is their spice-specific mechanisms. They feature seven unique designs, dedicated to pepper, salt, herbs, spices, coffee, wet salt, chili peppers, and nutmeg. Each mechanism uses the best materials and design principles tailored for its corresponding spice. The two-stage burr-style system for pepper grinding involves cutting helix-shaped grooves and teeth, which direct whole peppercorns through the apparatus to crack and grind them into a consistent size, maximizing the release of essential oils.

The salt grinding mechanism consists of ribbed plates that crush coarse, dry sea salt uniformly. Crafted from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, this mechanism can be found in every Peugeot salt mill.

The u'Select system is Peugeot's patented grind control feature for both electric and manual grinders. This system accommodates various preferences, enabling easy adjustments based on preparation stages or specific dishes. With six predefined grind levels for pepper and salt, as well as infinite adjustments in between, you have the ability to refine your grind with just a twist of a ring at the mill's base.

For optimal performance, use only high-quality, dry whole peppercorns measuring no more than 5 mm in diameter, such as black, white, or dried green. Peugeot salt mills work best with dry salt approximately 4 mm in diameter, such as coarse sea salt or rock salt.

Crafted from sustainably sourced beechwood, Peugeot’s Paris pepper and salt mills are a blend of elegance and functionality. Models offer the U-Select feature for precision grinding, with the possibility to adjust from coarse to fine. Each mill is designed to prevent corrosion, with easy refilling capabilities and a lifetime warranty on the grinding mechanism. Peugeot remains a trusted name in pepper mills, favored by many premier chefs and restaurants around the globe.
