Product Information

Full details

This Cole & Mason Acrylic Cube Salt Mill is designed for home cooks and entertainers who value precision, consistency, and modern aesthetics in their kitchen tools. Its key benefit is providing effortless, adjustable salt grinding with a durable ceramic mechanism that resists corrosion. A potential consideration is its 145mm size, which might be smaller than some users prefer for high-volume cooking, though it excels in countertop and table presentation. This mill features a clear acrylic body for easy refilling and monitoring, a geometric cube design, and a non-corroding ceramic grinder ideal for salt.

FAQs

What type of salt should I use in this mill?

This mill is designed for use with standard salt crystals. Avoid using very fine table salt, large rock salt, or salt flakes, as these may not grind properly or could damage the mechanism.

Can I use this mill for pepper or other spices?

No, this mill is specifically designed with a ceramic mechanism optimized for salt. Using pepper or other spices can damage the grinder and is not recommended.

How do I adjust the grind size?

Turn the metal grinding mechanism located at the top of the mill. Turning it clockwise generally results in a finer grind, while turning it counter-clockwise leads to a coarser grind. Experiment to find your preferred setting.

How do I refill the mill?

To refill, simply twist off the top grinding mechanism. This will allow you to access the clear acrylic chamber where you can add your salt crystals.

How often do I need to refill the mill?

The frequency of refilling depends on your usage. The clear acrylic body allows you to easily see the salt level, so you can refill it whenever it appears low.

Is the ceramic grinding mechanism replaceable?

The ceramic grinding mechanism is designed for durability and is not typically user-replaceable. If you experience issues, please consult the manufacturer's warranty information or customer support.

Can I wash the salt mill in a dishwasher?

No, the salt mill should not be washed in a dishwasher. Hand-wash only by wiping the acrylic body with a damp cloth. Dishwashers can damage the acrylic and the grinding mechanism.

Troubleshooting

Grinder is not grinding salt.

Ensure the top mechanism is securely tightened. Check that the salt chamber is not empty and that the salt crystals are suitable (not too large or moist). Verify that the mill is intended for salt use only.

Salt is not dispensing evenly.

Adjust the grind setting at the top of the mill. Ensure the salt crystals are dry and free-flowing. If the issue persists, the ceramic mechanism might need cleaning (refer to care instructions, but avoid water).

Acrylic body appears cloudy or has residue.

Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. For internal residue, ensure the salt is dry and free of fine dust. If persistent, empty and wipe the interior with a dry cloth.

Pros and Cons

  • Adjustable grind settings offer flexibility for different recipes and personal preferences.

  • Compact size is convenient for both cooking and table-side seasoning.

Cons

  • 145mm height may be smaller than desired for very frequent or large-batch cooking.
  • Acrylic body, while stylish, may be more prone to scratching than glass or stainless steel over time.
  • Requires manual refilling, unlike some electronic models.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up your salt mill, unscrew the top grinding mechanism. Fill the acrylic chamber with your preferred salt crystals, ensuring not to overfill. Screw the top mechanism back on securely.

Compatibility: This mill is designed exclusively for grinding salt. It is not suitable for peppercorns, sea salt flakes, or other spices, as this may damage the ceramic grinding mechanism.

Care: To maintain the appearance of your salt mill, wipe the acrylic body and lid with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the acrylic surface. Ensure the mill is completely dry before refilling or storing. Do not immerse the mill in water.
