FAQs
What material is the grinding mechanism made of?
The grinding mechanism is made of non-rust ceramic, known for its durability and resistance to corrosion.
How do I know which mill is for salt and which is for pepper?
Each mill comes with interchangeable caps engraved with 'S' for salt and 'P' for pepper. You can attach the appropriate cap to each mill.
Can I use rock salt or large peppercorns in these mills?
These mills are best suited for standard table salt and peppercorns. Very coarse, damp, or unusually large peppercorns or salt crystals may not grind effectively and could potentially damage the mechanism.
What is the warranty period for this product?
The MasterClass salt or pepper mill set comes with a 5-year guarantee.
How tall are the mills?
The mills stand at 12cm (approximately 5 inches) tall.
Can I put these mills in the dishwasher?
No, these mills are not dishwasher safe. Hand wash the exterior with a damp cloth and clean the grinding mechanism manually.
What is the primary benefit of the ceramic grinding mechanism?
The ceramic mechanism provides smooth, consistent grinding and is highly durable and resistant to rust and corrosion, ensuring a long lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Mill is not grinding effectively.
Ensure the mill is filled with peppercorns or salt. Check that the grinding mechanism is properly seated and tightened. Make sure the peppercorns or salt are not too large, damp, or coarse for the mechanism. Clean the grinding mechanism as per care instructions.
Grinder mechanism feels stiff.
This could be due to moisture. Ensure both the peppercorns/salt and the grinding mechanism are completely dry. If residue has built up, clean the mechanism carefully following the care instructions.
Mill is difficult to fill.
Ensure the grinding mechanism is fully removed from the mill body before attempting to fill it. Do not overfill the mill; leave some space at the top.
Caps are difficult to switch.
Ensure the caps are aligned correctly with the screw threads. If they feel stuck, do not force them. Check for any debris that might be obstructing the threads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up your mills, unscrew the top cap, remove the grinding mechanism, and fill the base with your desired salt or peppercorns. Ensure the correct 'S' or 'P' cap is placed on the mill before screwing the top cap back on securely.
Compatibility: These mills are designed for use with standard table salt and peppercorns. Do not use coarse, damp, or unusually large peppercorns or salt crystals, as this may impede the grinding mechanism. They are not suitable for other spices or herbs.
Care: To clean the exterior, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or soaking the mills in water. To clean the grinding mechanism, carefully remove it, brush away any residue with a small brush, and ensure it is completely dry before reassembling. The ceramic mechanism is non-rust, but keeping it dry will ensure optimal performance.
