FAQs

How do I distinguish between the salt and pepper mills?

Each mill comes with two caps: one is engraved with an 'S' for salt and the other with a 'P' for pepper. Use the corresponding cap for each mill.

What type of salt and pepper is best for these mills?

These mills are designed for standard table salt, sea salt, kosher salt, and common peppercorns. Avoid using extremely large crystals or very coarse spices that might jam the mechanism.

How often do I need to refill the mills?

The 23cm height provides a large capacity, so refill frequency depends on usage. Generally, they hold significantly more than smaller mills, requiring fewer refills.

Can I wash the mills in a dishwasher?

No, these mills should not be washed in a dishwasher. The exterior should only be wiped with a soft, damp cloth to preserve the charcoal finish and materials.

How do I adjust the grind size?

The grind size is adjustable via the ceramic grinding mechanism, typically controlled by a setting on the mill itself. Experiment with different settings to find your preferred coarseness.

What is the material of the grinding mechanism?

The mills feature a ceramic grinding mechanism, known for its durability and effectiveness in grinding spices consistently.

Troubleshooting

Mill is grinding inconsistently (too fine or too coarse)

Ensure the grind adjustment is properly set. Try a few test grinds to find your preferred setting. If the issue persists, check the ceramic mechanism for any debris and clean as per care instructions.

Difficulty refilling the mill

Make sure the gold cap is fully unscrewed and the lid is being pulled off straight. Avoid forcing any parts; if resistance is felt, re-examine the connection points.

Residue or sticking in the grinding mechanism

Grind a small amount of coarse salt or uncooked rice through the mill to clear out any blockages. Follow up with a wipe-down of the exterior as per the care instructions.

Mill feels loose or wobbly

Check that the gold cap and lid are securely fastened. If the base feels loose, ensure there is no debris trapped between components.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Large capacity due to 23cm height, reducing refill frequency.
  • Adjustable ceramic grinding mechanism for versatile seasoning.
  • Clear labeling with 'S' and 'P' caps to avoid confusion.
  • Elegant charcoal design complements modern kitchens and dining areas.
  • Easy to refill and maintain.

Cons

  • The charcoal finish might show smudges or require specific cleaning methods.
  • Being manual, they require physical effort to grind spices.
  • The gold caps, while stylish, might require careful handling to avoid scratches.
  • No specific information on the type of salt or peppercorns recommended for optimal performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Identify Mills: Note the 'S' cap for salt and the 'P' cap for pepper.
  2. Unscrew Cap: Gently unscrew the gold cap from the top of the mill.
  3. Lift Lid: Pull off the lid beneath the cap.
  4. Fill Mill: Add your desired salt or peppercorns. Do not overfill.
  5. Replace Lid & Cap: Reattach the lid and screw the gold cap back on securely.

Compatibility

  • Suitable for use with standard table salt, sea salt, kosher salt, and black peppercorns.
  • Not recommended for very large salt crystals or coarse peppercorns that may exceed the grinding mechanism's capacity.

Care Instructions

  • Cleaning the Mills: Wipe the exterior of the mills with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or soaking the mills, as this can damage the finish.
  • Cleaning the Grinder: Periodically, it's advisable to grind a small amount of coarse salt or uncooked rice through the mill to help clear any residual spice dust from the ceramic mechanism. Dispose of the ground material afterward.
  • Drying: Ensure the mills are completely dry before refilling or storing.
