FAQs

What type of salt should I use?

For best results, use coarse sea salt or rock salt. Avoid fine table salt as it may clog the ceramic grinding mechanism.

Can I use this for other spices?

These mills are specifically designed for salt and peppercorns. Using other spices may damage the mechanism or affect performance.

How do I know which cap is for salt and which is for pepper?

The caps are engraved with 'S' for salt and 'P' for pepper. They are interchangeable, so you can assign them as needed but the engravings provide clear identification.

What is the warranty period?

The MasterClass Salt or Pepper Mill Set comes with a 5-year guarantee.

How often should I refill the mills?

The 12cm size offers a generous capacity, so refilling frequency depends on usage. Typically, they hold enough for extended periods of regular use.

Are the grinding mechanisms adjustable for different coarseness levels?

This model features a non-rust ceramic grinding mechanism designed to provide a smooth and consistent grind. While not explicitly adjustable for variable coarseness settings, it delivers uniform results suitable for most culinary applications.

Troubleshooting

Mill is not grinding effectively

Ensure the mill is filled with dry peppercorns or coarse salt. Check that the grinding mechanism is clean and free from debris. Adjust the grind setting if applicable (though this model primarily offers a standard grind).

Grind is too coarse or too fine

This model provides a consistent grind. For very fine grinds, ensure you are using smaller peppercorns or suitable salt. For coarser grinds, ensure the mechanism is not clogged and that the ingredients are dry.

Interchangeable caps are difficult to switch

Gently twist and pull the cap. If stiff, try wiggling it slightly. Ensure no debris is obstructing the connection point.

Exterior cleaning leaves streaks

Use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately with a soft, clean cloth. Avoid excessive moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  3. Fill the mill with your desired salt (coarse salt recommended) or peppercorns.
  4. Replace the appropriate 'S' or 'P' cap.

Compatibility:

  • The mills are designed for dry salt and peppercorns only.

Care:
