Peugeot Paris Classic Antique Salt Mill Natural Beech Wood 22cm

Description

Product Overview

The Peugeot Paris Classic Collection Antique Salt Mill is a timeless kitchen accessory that combines French craftsmanship with modern functionality. Constructed from PEFC certified beech wood harvested from sustainably managed French forests, the mill offers a natural, warm aesthetic that complements any countertop or dining table. The beech wood body is finished in a natural hue, highlighting the grain patterns and providing a tactile surface that feels comfortable in the hand.

At the heart of the mill lies a two‑stage grinding mechanism made from specially treated stainless steel. This mechanism features razor‑sharp teeth that crush and fracture rock salt, releasing its full flavor and aroma. The stainless steel components are corrosion‑resistant, ensuring long‑term performance even with frequent use. The mill measures 22 cm (8‑3/4 in.) in height, with a compact footprint of 3 in. wide, making it suitable for both small kitchens and larger culinary spaces.

Designed for manual operation, the mill does not require batteries or electricity, allowing you to enjoy fresh salt at the table or while cooking without any additional power source. The top knob provides a simple, intuitive grind adjustment: turning clockwise creates a finer grind, while turning counter‑clockwise yields a coarser texture. This flexibility lets you tailor the salt texture to a wide range of dishes, from delicate desserts to hearty stews.

Usage

Whether you are a home cook, a professional chef, or a culinary enthusiast, the Peugeot Antique Salt Mill fits seamlessly into your routine. Its manual operation makes it ideal for tabletop use during meals, allowing guests to season their plates with freshly ground salt at the moment of serving. The mill also excels in the kitchen while preparing recipes, delivering consistent grain size that enhances seasoning precision.

Because the grinding mechanism works best with dry rock salt of up to 4 mm (0.16 in.) diameter, the mill is perfect for everyday table salt and specialty salts such as fleur de sel or smoked rock salt. It is not recommended for sea salt, which can contain moisture that may clog the mechanism. The mill comes partially filled with rock salt, so you can start using it immediately after unboxing.

For outdoor cooking, picnics, or camping trips, the mill’s lightweight design (approximately 10.6 oz) and lack of electrical requirements make it a convenient companion. Simply bring a small container of rock salt, and you have fresh, aromatic seasoning wherever you go.

FAQ

What type of salt should I use with this mill?

For optimal performance, use dry rock salt with a maximum diameter of 4 mm (0.16 in.). This includes table salt, fleur de sel, and smoked rock salts. Avoid sea salt, which contains moisture that can clog the grinding mechanism.

Is the mill dishwasher safe?

No, the mill is not dishwasher safe. To clean, simply wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid exposing the wooden body to excessive moisture, which could cause swelling or warping.

How do I adjust the grind size?

Turn the top knob clockwise for a finer grind and counter‑clockwise for a coarser grind. The adjustment is smooth and can be changed quickly while grinding.

What is covered by the warranty?

The grinding mechanism is covered for the lifetime of the product, and the wooden body is covered for five years against manufacturing defects. Warranty does not cover damage caused by misuse or improper cleaning.

Can I use this mill for pepper as well?

While the mill is optimized for salt, it can also grind peppercorns. However, pepper may wear the mechanism faster than salt, so we recommend using a dedicated pepper mill for frequent pepper grinding.
