Peugeot Paris U'Select 40cm Natural Pepper Mill for Users

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 compared to pre-ground options. Another advantage of using freshly ground spices or minerals (salts) is the control a mill provides over the coarseness (size) of the grind.

When looking for a pepper, salt, or spice grinder, consider the grinding mechanism, design and appearance, and ease of use. The Peugeot brand, founded in the 19th century, has a long history of producing award-winning hand tools and exceptional quality products, including coffee grinders and pepper mills.

Peugeot's pepper grinding mechanism is a two-stage burr-style system, where the helix-shaped grooves and grinding teeth are individually cut and case-hardened to make it virtually indestructible. This patented mechanism is found on every Peugeot pepper mill and is widely considered the best pepper mechanism available. The salt crushing mechanism features two ribbed plates that work to fracture and crush coarse, dry sea salt to a consistent size.

Peugeot's u'Select system allows for quick, easy, and accurate adjustment of the grind settings, from coarsely ground to very fine, for both pepper and salt. The further you turn the ring at the base of the mill, the finer or coarser the grind, depending on the direction turned. This ensures the right grind for each dish, whether a delicate sauce or heartier meats.

The Paris pepper and salt mills from Peugeot are traditionally styled of turned beechwood and feature the u'Select system. The difference between the salt and pepper mills lies in the grinding mechanism, with the pepper mill using case-hardened-steel grinding heads and the salt mill using 18/10 stainless-steel, which is corrosion-resistant.

Peugeot mills are covered by a two-year replacement policy, while the grinding mechanism is covered by a lifetime warranty. With over 160 years of experience, Peugeot remains a benchmark in the industry and is the mill of choice in world-class kitchens.
