Peugeot Paris u'Select Salt Mill, 7 inch, Chocolate

The benefits of freshly grinding pepper, salt, herbs, and spices for cooking and seasoning are numerous. 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 than pre-ground versions. Additionally, a mill provides control over the coarseness of the grind, allowing you to choose the size according to taste or necessity.

When selecting a pepper, salt, or spice grinder, consider the following: the grinding mechanism, which should be well-made and produce a consistent grind, and the design and appearance, which can make it an indispensable kitchen tool and a beautiful part of your table decor. Ease of use is also important, with a quality mill being easy to adjust, fill, and comfortable in the hand.

Peugeot, a company with a rich history dating back to the 19th century, has established itself as a benchmark in the industry. The company's iconic pepper grinding mechanism, which was first created in 1874, is still used in every Peugeot pepper mill today. This mechanism is often copied but never equaled, as Peugeot has designed seven unique spice-specific mechanisms to extract the most from each type of spice or herb.

Peugeot's Pepper Grinding Mechanism is a two-stage burr-style system that guides whole peppercorns through the mechanism to crack and then grind them to a consistent size, releasing the pepper's essential oils. The Salt Crushing Mechanism features two ribbed plates that work to fracture and crush coarse, dry sea salt to a consistent size.

Peugeot's patented u'Select grind control system allows users to quickly, easily, and accurately adjust the grind settings, with six pre-defined levels for both pepper and salt, or any point in between. This ensures that the right grind is achieved for each dish, whether a coarse grind for grilling a steak or a fine grind for a delicate sauce.

Peugeot mills are made in France, with PEFC-certified beech wood from sustainably managed French forests and steel mechanisms all manufactured at the Peugeot facility. The two-stage salt grinding mechanism is made of specially treated stainless steel to keep the teeth razor-sharp and protect against corrosion, ensuring maximum flavor and aroma.

These Peugeot mills are designed for ease of use, with a safe and comfortable grip and the ability to achieve high, consistent output with minimal effort. To get the best results, it is recommended to use dry, hard whole peppercorns and dry rock salt with a maximum diameter of 4 mm. Peugeot offers a lifetime warranty on the mechanism and a 5-year warranty on the body of the mill, ensuring long-lasting quality.
