Product Information
Full details
The Peugeot Bistro Salt Mill is an ideal kitchen companion for home cooks and culinary professionals who value historical design and precise seasoning control. By offering a customizable grind mechanism in a compact, durable frame, it allows users to unlock the full aromatic profile of their salt. While it delivers excellent longevity and performance, it is important to note that the 93mm height is specifically designed for small-batch usage, meaning it requires more frequent refills than taller, decorative tabletop models.

FAQs
Can I use this for peppercorns?
No, this mill is specifically engineered for salt. Using it for pepper or other spices will damage the mechanism and potentially cause rust.
What type of salt should I use?
Use dry sea salt or rock salt. Avoid moist, flaky, or 'fleur de sel' salts, as their moisture content can clog the mechanism.
How do I change the grind setting?
Simply turn the metal knob on the head of the mill. Clockwise tightens the grind, and counter-clockwise loosens it.
Is the mill dishwasher safe?
No, never place the mill in a dishwasher. Clean the exterior with a dry cloth only.
What are the dimensions of this mill?
It is 93mm in height and 50mm in width.
Troubleshooting
The mill is difficult to turn
The grind size may be set too fine, or the salt crystals may be too large. Loosen the top knob slightly and ensure you are using dry, standard-sized salt crystals.
No salt is coming out
The chamber may be empty, or the mechanism could be jammed by a piece of debris. Unscrew the head, check the reservoir, and shake out any stuck particles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the mill is straightforward: unscrew the top knob completely to remove the head, fill the internal chamber with dry sea salt or rock salt, and replace the head. Tighten the knob to your desired resistance level. Compatibility is limited strictly to dry salt; do not attempt to grind wet, moist, or flaky sea salt, as this can degrade the mechanism over time. To clean, wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Never immerse the mill in water or place it in a dishwasher, as the wood finish and internal mechanical parts can be damaged by moisture and heat.
