FAQs

What type of salt and pepper can I use in these mills?

These mills are designed for whole peppercorns and coarse sea salt. Avoid using pre-ground spices, fine salt, or rock salt, as these can clog the mechanism.

How do I switch between using the mill for salt and pepper?

The set comes with interchangeable caps, one engraved with 'S' for salt and one with 'P' for pepper. Simply unscrew the current cap and replace it with the appropriate one.

How should I clean the wooden mills?

Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Never submerge the mills in water or place them in a dishwasher, as this can damage the wood and the grinding mechanism.

What is the grinding mechanism made of?

The grinding mechanism is made of non-rust ceramic, which is durable and resistant to corrosion, ensuring consistent grinding over time.

What are the dimensions of the mills?

Each mill in the set stands at 12cm (approximately 5 inches) tall.

What is the warranty period for these mills?

The MasterClass salt and pepper mills come with a 5-year guarantee.

Can I adjust the grind size?

These mills provide a consistent grind suitable for most uses. There is no explicit adjustment mechanism for grind size, but the quality of the ceramic grinder ensures good results.

Troubleshooting

Mill is grinding inconsistently or not at all.

Ensure the mill is properly filled and the grinding mechanism is not obstructed. Check that the top cap is screwed on tightly. For pepper mills, ensure peppercorns are dry and not too large. For salt mills, ensure salt crystals are dry and of appropriate size.

The 'S' or 'P' cap is difficult to remove or attach.

Gently twist and pull the cap. If it feels stuck, ensure there are no small grains or debris caught in the threads. Do not force the cap.

Wood finish appears dull or discolored.

Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. If necessary, a very small amount of food-safe wood oil can be applied sparingly and buffed off to restore sheen, but test on an inconspicuous area first and avoid soaking the wood.
