FAQs
What type of salt should I use with these mills?
These mills are designed for coarse salt crystals, such as sea salt or rock salt. Fine table salt can clog the ceramic grinding mechanism.
How do I identify which mill is for salt and which is for pepper?
The mills come with interchangeable caps. One cap is engraved with 'S' for salt, and the other is engraved with 'P' for pepper. Simply attach the correct cap to each mill.
How should I clean the beechwood mills?
Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid immersing the mills in water or using harsh cleaning chemicals, as this can damage the wood.
Are the grinding mechanisms adjustable for coarseness?
The ceramic grinding mechanisms provide a consistent grind. While not explicitly adjustable for variable coarseness settings, the results are generally smooth and uniform.
What is the warranty period for these mills?
The MasterClass salt or pepper mills come with a 5-year guarantee.
Can I put peppercorns and salt in the same mill?
No, each mill is intended for either salt or pepper only. Use the interchangeable 'S' and 'P' caps to clearly label each mill.
How do I refill the mills?
Unscrew the top cap, carefully fill the mill with your chosen peppercorns or coarse salt crystals, and then screw the cap back on securely.
Troubleshooting
Mill is difficult to twist or grind is uneven.
Ensure the mill is not overfilled. Check for any large peppercorns or salt crystals that might be blocking the mechanism. Ensure the cap is screwed on tightly. If using fine salt, switch to coarse crystals as fine salt can clog the grinder.
Wooden finish appears dull or dry.
Wipe the mill with a slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Consider applying a food-safe mineral oil occasionally to the wood to restore its luster, following the oil manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the mill is kept away from excessive moisture.
Grinder mechanism is not working.
Check that the top cap is properly secured. Ensure there are peppercorns or salt crystals loaded. If the issue persists, contact customer support regarding the 5-year guarantee.
