FAQs

How do I adjust the grind size?

The grind size is typically adjusted by turning a knob or mechanism located at the base or top of the mill. Turn it clockwise for a finer grind and counter-clockwise for a coarser grind. Refer to the specific markings on your mill if available.

What type of salt can I use?

The Salter Arden mills are suitable for most dry salts, including sea salt and kosher salt. Avoid using rock salt that is too large or wet salt, as it can clog the mechanism.

Can I put these in the dishwasher?

No, the Salter Arden Salt & Pepper Mill Set is not dishwasher safe. The acrylic bodies and ceramic mechanisms should be hand-washed, and the rubberwood lids should only be wiped with a damp cloth to preserve their finish.

How often should I refill the mills?

Refill frequency depends on usage. The clear acrylic bodies allow you to easily monitor the fill level, so you can refill them whenever the contents appear low.

What are the dimensions of the mills?

Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's website for exact dimensions. Typically, they are designed to be a comfortable size for handling and storage on a countertop or dining table.

Is the wood sustainably sourced?

Yes, the rubberwood lids are made from FSC®-certified wood, ensuring they come from responsibly managed forests.

Troubleshooting

Mill is difficult to twist or grind is inconsistent.

Ensure the mill is not overfilled. Check for any foreign objects obstructing the ceramic mechanism. Try adjusting the grind setting to a coarser option and then back to your desired setting.

Grind is too fine or too coarse.

Locate the adjustable grind mechanism, typically at the base or top of the mill. Twist the setting to achieve your preferred coarseness. Experiment with the settings to find the perfect balance for your needs.

Wood lid feels dry or loses its sheen.

Apply a food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioner specifically designed for kitchenware to the rubberwood lid. Allow it to soak in, then wipe off any excess. This should be done periodically, based on usage and environmental conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up your Salter Arden mills, unscrew the dark rubberwood lid from the acrylic body. Fill the acrylic chamber with your desired salt or peppercorns, ensuring not to overfill. Screw the lid back on securely.

Compatibility: These mills are designed for dry salts (like sea salt, kosher salt) and peppercorns. They are also suitable for other dry seasonings. Avoid using very moist or oily seasonings, as this can affect the ceramic mechanism.

Care: Hand wash the acrylic bodies and ceramic mechanism with warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly immediately. Wipe the rubberwood lids with a damp cloth and dry them completely. Do not submerge the wooden lids in water, and avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the acrylic.
