Peugeot Paris u'Select Pepper Mill, 9 Inch, Natural

Freshly grinding pepper, salt, herbs, and spices offers numerous benefits for cooking and seasoning. 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. A high-quality pepper, salt, or spice mill allows you to choose and change the coarseness according to taste or necessity.

When selecting a pepper, salt, or spice grinder, consider the following features: Grinding mechanism - Choose a well-made grinding mechanism designed to handle the specific characteristics of the intended spice. Design and appearance - The mill can be a functional and beautiful addition to your kitchen decor, whether it's traditional or modern, manual or electric. Ease of use - A quality mill should be easy to adjust, fill, and comfortable to hold.

Peugeot's story dates back to the 19th century, when the Peugeot brothers converted their family's gristmill into a steel foundry. They began producing award-winning hand tools and later expanded into a diverse range of exceptional quality products, including small appliances, bicycles, and automobiles. In 1840, Peugeot created their burr-style coffee grinder and adapted that design to accommodate peppercorns in 1874. This iconic pepper grinding mechanism design is still used in every Peugeot pepper mill today and is often copied, but never equaled.

Peugeot's spice-specific mechanisms are the primary difference between their mills and other brands. They offer seven unique mechanisms for pepper, salt, herbs and spices, coffee, wet salt, chili peppers, and nutmeg. Each mechanism is designed and constructed from the best materials to maximize the performance for its intended use.

Peugeot's patented u'Select grind control system allows for quick, easy, and accurate adjustment of the grind settings, from coarsely ground to very fine, for both pepper and salt. This ensures the right grind for each dish, as personal taste and the preparation or cooking process often call for seasonings of varying sizes.

To get the best results from Peugeot's mills, use dry, hard, whole peppercorns and coarse sea salt or rock salt. Avoid using damp sea salt, as the high moisture content can corrode the mill. Peugeot's Wet Salt mill is specifically designed to handle damp salt.

Peugeot's iconic Paris u'Select pepper mill is engineered and manufactured in France, featuring a two-stage grinding mechanism that first cracks and then grinds the peppercorns to the desired coarseness. The mills are crafted with PEFC-certified beechwood, ensuring a marriage of ingenuity and elegance that enhances the flavors of your meals.
