"Advantage of Freshly Ground SpicesThere are many benefits to
freshly grinding pepper, salt, s and spices for cooking and
seasoning. A quality mill with a specifically designed grinding
mechanism will release the aromas and essential oils of that
spice. Freshly ground pepper and spices have more aroma and
better flavor than pre- ground. Another advantage of using
freshly ground spices or minerals (salts) is the control a mill
provides for determining the coarseness (size) of a grind. A high
quality pepper, salt or spice mill gives you the ability to
choose and change the coarseness according to taste or
necessity.How to Choose a Good Mill When looking for a pepper,
salt or spice grinder, consider the following: Grinding
mechanism: Choose a grinding mechanism that can withstand daily
use: one that is well made and produces a consistent grind.
Ideally, the grinding mechanism should be designed to handle a
specific spice, as each spice has different physical
characteristics that will benefit from different design
features.Design and appearance: Whether it's traditional or
modern, manual or electric, a mill can be an indispensable tool
in your kitchen and a beautiful part of table decor.Ease of Use:
A quality mill should be easy to adjust, easy to fill, and feel
comfortable in the hand.History of Peugeot Peugeot's story starts
in the 19th century when the Peugeot brothers converted the
family's gristmill into a steel foundry. They began producing
award winning hand tools immediately after opening and went on to
produce a diverse range of exceptional quality products including
small appliances, bicycles and most notably, automobiles.
(Although now operating as a separate company, the Peugeot car
company continues the same commitment to quality and innovation
that is a Peugeot hallmark). In 1840 Peugeot created their burr
style coffee grinder and adopted that design to accommodate
peppercorns in 1874. The resulting pepper mechanism design is
still used today in every Peugeot pepper mill. Peugeot's iconic
pepper grinding mechanism design is often copied, but never
equaled. Today, Peugeot offers six unique spice-specific
mechanisms plus the original burr-style coffee grinder. There are
no shortcuts: each mechanism is designed to get the most out of
the spices they are intended for. After more than 160 years,
Peugeot mills and grinders remain the benchmark of the industry
and have earned their position as the mill of choice in world
class kitchens. It's All About the MechanismThe primary
difference between Peugeot and all other brands are the
spice-specific mechanisms. Peugeot has 7 unique spice specific
mechanisms for pepper, salt, s and spices, coffee, wet salt,
chili peppers and nutmeg. For each spice, there is one - and only
one - Peugeot grinding mechanism, each made of the ideal design
and constructed from the best material available for its intended
use. All Peugeot mechanisms are made in France and carry a
lifetime limited warranty.Peugeot's Pepper Grinding Mechanism is
a two stage burr-style system. During production, the
helix-shaped grooves and grinding teeth of the pepper mechanism
are individually cut before the steel is case hardened to make it
virtually indestructible. The mechanism is then given a
proprietary to provide additional protection against
corrosion. During use, the helix- shaped grooves guide whole
peppercorns through the mechanism to crack, then grind to a
consistent size by a double row of teeth. This process releases
the pepper's essential oils, resulting in more flavor and aroma
for your dish. This patented mechanism is found on every Peugeot
Pepper mill and is widely considered the best pepper mechanism
availablePeugeot's Salt Crushing Mechanism features two ribbed
plates which work to fracture and crush coarse, dry sea salt to a
consistent size. The salt grinding mechanism is made of corrosion
resistant Stainless Steel, and is found on every Peugeot Salt
Mill. Peugeot's Spice Mechanism is made of ceramic, and is
specially designed to grind dried spices and flat leafy s to
release their essential oils. It is particularly effective with
dried aromatic s such as thyme, parsley, basil, oregano, and
s de Provence, as well as dried such as cumin.
Peugeot's Chili Pepper Mechanism is made of case hardened steel
for optimal hardness and resilience. This patented mechanism
features a pre-cutting system and dual chamber reservoir. For use
with dry, hot chilis such as birds tongue, African devils and
Piri Piri. The Nutmeg Shaving Mechanism is made of treated
stainless steel which is corrosion resistant, and offers superior
edge retention. The Peugeot nutmeg shaver is equipped with a
double stainless steel grater blade and a strong claw which
enables the whole nutmeg to be very finely shaved, while keeping
fingers safe. Intended for use with whole nutmeg nuts. Peugeot's
Wet Salt mechanism has been specially designed for wet sea salt:
a spiral guides the salt, ensuring that it does not stick
together. The mechanism is made of ceramic because wet salt
crystals are soft (wear is not an issue) but corrosive. Intended
for use with damp sea salts such as Sel de Guerande. The Coffee
Grinding Mechanism found in all Peugeot coffee mills is the
foundation of Peugeot's grinding legacy. The case-hardened steel
mechanism efficiently cracks and grinds coffee beans to the
desired consistency:from espresso fine to coffee- press
coarse.Peugeot Manual Mills For best results, hold mill and turn
mill top in a clockwise direction only To adjust the Grind on
manual mills not equipped with u'Select, turn the adjustment nut
located on the top of the mill.- clockwise to obtain a finer
grind- counter-clockwise to obtain a coarser grind
