Peugeot Paris u'Select Salt Mill / Stainless Steel / 22cm
-
Detail
The Paris Salt Mill complements the design of Peugeot’s most recognisable pepper mills. Its innovative u'Select control system allows up to six different textures.
---DETAILS---
The French company Peugeot may be most commonly associated with cars, but they actually made spice mills first, far back in 1874. In the 146 years since, no other salt and pepper mills stay as sharp, resist corrosion as well, and last as long, which is why nobody in the culinary industry would hesitate to call them ‘iconic’. Salt, unlike pepper, can corrode metal if it absorbs too much moisture. That’s why most salt mill blades are made from less durable ceramic. Not Peugeot’s, which are made from rust-resistant 18/10 stainless steel so it lasts many years. The six u’Select grind settings can be found on the bottom of the mill with the roman numerals—I is finest, and VI is most coarse. The stainless steel body, besides lending a nice modern aesthetic, also keeps the salt extra safe from too-hot or too-cold temperatures and bright light.
Note: Salt mills are intended to grind large crystals of salt; small particles of salt or sea salt flakes, like Maldon or Cornish, will get stuck in the mechanism.
---BENEFITS--- 'Any fine dining restaurant worth its salt (excuse the pun) has a Peugeot mill. Expertly crafted inside and out, these grinders seem to "wake up" pepper and salt just before it reaches your plate.'
