Product Information
Full details
The Peugeot Duo Paris set is designed for home chefs who value precision and durability in their seasoning tools. This pair of 18cm manual mills features the signature u'Select adjustment system, allowing users to dial in exact grind textures from fine to coarse with ease. While these mills offer a premium experience and classic aesthetic, they require a manual wrist motion to operate and are strictly designed for dry salt and whole peppercorns.

FAQs
Can I use these for other spices like cloves or coriander?
No, the pepper mechanism is specifically engineered for whole black peppercorns, and the salt mechanism is for dry salt only. Using other spices may damage the components.
How do I distinguish the salt mill from the pepper mill?
The set comes with one in a chocolate finish and one in natural. Traditionally, the mechanisms are labeled, but you can assign either finish to salt or pepper based on your preference.
What type of salt should I avoid?
Avoid using damp, moist, or flaky sea salt. Use only dry rock salt for optimal performance.
Is the mechanism covered by a warranty?
Peugeot mechanisms are designed for long-term use; however, they should be used exclusively for their intended ingredients to maintain performance.
How many grind settings are there?
The u'Select system features 6 distinct grind settings, ranging from very fine to very coarse.
Troubleshooting
Grind size does not change
Ensure the u'Select ring at the base is turned fully into one of the designated notches rather than between settings.
Mechanism feels jammed
Empty the mill and check for any debris or oversized spice particles that may be obstructing the teeth of the grinding mechanism.
Difficulty turning the top
Loosen the top nut slightly, as tightening it too much can compress the mechanism and increase friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your mills, unscrew the top knob to remove the lid, fill the reservoir with high-quality dry salt or whole black peppercorns, and replace the lid. For maintenance, wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Never immerse the mills in water or place them in a dishwasher, as this can damage the wood body and the internal metal mechanism. Ensure the salt mill is only used for dry rock salt; using moist sea salt will cause the mechanism to clog and corrode.
