Peugeot - Nancy Manual Pepper Mill and Salt Shaker Set - Adjustable Grinder

A specially designed mill for wet sea salt is essential, as the natural consistency and moisture content do not allow the use of an ordinary salt mill. This specific mechanism, composed of 3 stops ensuring both mechanism resistance and constant output, and an anti-clogging spiral which shuffles the salt in the reservoir, is an innovative patented system for a high-performance grind without blockage even with very humid or compressed salt.

The benefits of wet sea salt are numerous. It is soft on the palate and richer in flavor, naturally grey, unwashed, unrefined and additive free, and rich in magnesium. This salt with 2,000 years of tradition can add flavor to traditional or more sophisticated meals.

The unique working mechanism of this mill is a helix with several functions - it mixes and shuffles the salt, providing a consistent and high volume output while avoiding blockage. Three wings are designed to avoid friction of the teeth and offer extreme resistance. Engineered in France, this is an innovative patented system for a high-performance grind.

An adjustable knob on the head of the mill allows users to twist it and create their precise balance of flavor. Adjusting the knob tighter results in a finer grind. The two-stage grinding mechanism first effortlessly cracks and then grinds the salt crystals to the desired coarseness.

Through two centuries of experience, the manufacturer has expertly engineered their cellars and mill mechanisms specifically for the consistency and shape of salt crystals. It is crucial to fill each mill with the correct spice for optimum use. The pepper gears are made from case hardened steel finished with a patented treatment to prevent corrosion and rust.

The classic tableware pair of salt and pepper brings out the depth of each seasoning. Salt makes vegetables tastier and balances other flavors, while finely ground pepper will bring out its spice, and a coarser grind intensifies the flavor. Users can find their "Peugeot moment" and enjoy the art of French living with these instruments of taste.

The salt cellars come partially filled with table salt, and the pepper mills with Tan Hoi black pepper from Vietnam (refill cubes are available). Users should fill with peppercorns (max size ¼-inch/6mm) and fine grain table salt (max size ⅒-inch/0.3mm), avoiding the use of sea salt.
