Peugeot Stainless Steel Salt Mill, 6.5 Inch

Freshly grinding pepper, salt, herbs, and spices for cooking and seasoning has numerous benefits. When using a quality mill with a specifically designed grinding mechanism, the aromas and essential oils of the spice are released, resulting in more aroma and better flavor than pre-ground spices. Additionally, using freshly ground spices or minerals (salts) allows for control over the coarseness of the grind. This is important as different dishes call for varying coarseness of the spices. Therefore, it is important to choose a grinding mechanism that can withstand daily use, is well made, and produces a consistent grind. The design, appearance, and ease of use of the mill are also important factors to consider when looking for a quality mill.

Peugeot, a renowned company with a history dating back to the 19th century, offers a diverse range of exceptional quality products. They are best known for their iconic pepper grinding mechanism design, which is still used in every Peugeot pepper mill. They also offer six unique spice-specific mechanisms, each designed to get the most out of the intended spice. The primary difference between Peugeot and other brands is their spice-specific mechanisms, which are made of the ideal design and material available for each spice.

Peugeot's Pepper Grinding Mechanism, which is a two-stage burr-style system, is designed to crack and grind whole peppercorns to a consistent size, resulting in more flavor and aroma for the dish. Their Salt Crushing Mechanism features two ribbed plates that work to fracture and crush coarse, dry sea salt to a consistent size. Additionally, Peugeot offers the patented u'Select grind control system for electric and manual grinders, allowing for easy and accurate adjustment of the grind settings.

Peugeot's mills and grinders are made in France and carry a lifetime limited warranty. Their mills are made of high-quality materials and are designed to resist corrosion. The mills also feature the innovative u'Select system, which allows for easy grind selection and consistent results.

It is important to note that the type and size of the peppercorns or salt used in the mills can have a significant impact on the grinding results. Peugeot recommends using only dry, hard, whole peppercorns that are 5mm or less in diameter for the best results. The salt grinding mechanism is designed for dry salt, ideally with a diameter of 4mm, such as coarse sea salt or rock salt.

In conclusion, choosing a quality mill with a well-designed grinding mechanism is essential for getting the most out of your spices. Peugeot offers a wide range of high-quality mills and grinders, each designed to provide the best results for specific spices. With their innovative designs and commitment to quality, Peugeot mills have earned their position as the mill of choice in world-class kitchens.
