FAQs

Can I use this mill for both salt and pepper?

Yes, you can use it for either salt or pepper, but it is recommended to dedicate one mill to each seasoning to avoid flavor mixing. You would need to purchase a second mill if you wish to have separate grinders for salt and pepper.

How do I adjust the grind coarseness?

The coarseness can be adjusted by turning the knob located at the base of the mill. Turn clockwise for a finer grind and counter-clockwise for a coarser grind.

What material is the grinding mechanism made of?

The grinding mechanism is made of durable ceramic, designed for longevity and consistent performance.

How do I refill the mill?

Unscrew the top cap, fill the lower chamber with your chosen seasoning (salt or peppercorns), and then screw the top cap back on securely.

What are the dimensions of the mill?

The mill measures 18.5 cm in height.

How should I clean the mill?

Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not submerge the mill in water. For the grinding mechanism, empty it and use a small brush to clean away any residue.

Is this an electric grinder?

No, this is a manual seasoning mill and requires physical turning to grind salt or pepper.

Troubleshooting

Grinder is difficult to turn.

Check if the mill is overfilled. Empty some contents and ensure the grinding mechanism is clear of debris. Verify the coarseness setting is not set to the finest level if it's too restrictive.

Inconsistent grind size.

Ensure you are using uniform peppercorns or salt crystals. Check the adjustment knob at the base to ensure it is properly set and not loose.

Mill feels loose or wobbly.

Ensure the top cap and the base adjustment knob are securely tightened. If the issue persists, there may be an internal component misalignment.

Salt or pepper is clumping inside.

Ensure only dry salt and peppercorns are used. Moisture can cause clumping. Empty the mill and allow it to air dry completely before refilling.
