Freshly ground pepper and spices\nhave more aroma and better flavor than pre- ground. Another advantage of using\nfreshly ground spices or minerals (salts) is the control a mill provides for\ndetermining the coarseness (size) of a grind. A high quality pepper, salt or\nspice mill gives you the ability to choose and change the coarseness according\nto taste or necessity. How to Choose a Good MillWhen looking for a pepper,\nsalt or spice grinder, consider the following:Grinding mechanism: Choose a\ngrinding mechanism that can withstand daily use: one that is well made and\nproduces a consistent grind. Ideally, the grinding mechanism should be\ndesigned to handle a specific spice, as each spice has different physical\ncharacteristics that will benefit from different design features. Design and\nappearance: Whether it's traditional or modern, manual or electric, a mill can\nbe an indispensable tool in your kitchen and a beautiful part of table decor.\nEase of Use: A quality mill should be easy to adjust, easy to fill, and feel\ncomfortable in the hand. History of PeugeotPeugeot's story starts in the 19th\ncentury when the Peugeot brothers converted the family's gristmill into a\nsteel foundry. They began producing award winning hand tools immediately after\nopening and went on to produce a diverse range of exceptional quality products\nincluding small appliances, bicycles and most notably, automobiles. (Although\nnow operating as a separate company, the Peugeot car company continues the\nsame commitment to quality and innovation that is a Peugeot hallmark). In 1840\nPeugeot created their burr style coffee grinder and adopted that design to\naccommodate peppercorns in 1874. The resulting pepper mechanism design is\nstill used today in every Peugeot pepper mill. Peugeot's iconic pepper\ngrinding mechanism design is often copied, but never equaled. Today, Peugeot\noffers six unique spice-specific mechanisms plus the original burr-style\ncoffee grinder. There are no shortcuts: each mechanism is designed to get the\nmost out of the spices they are intended for. After more than 160 years,\nPeugeot mills and grinders remain the benchmark of the industry and have\nearned their position as the mill of choice in world class kitchens.It's All\nAbout the Mechanism The primary difference between Peugeot and all other\nbrands are the spice-specific mechanisms. Peugeot has 7 unique spice specific\nmechanisms for pepper, salt, herbs and spices, coffee, wet salt, chili peppers\nand nutmeg. For each spice, there is one - and only one - Peugeot grinding\nmechanism, each made of the ideal design and constructed from the best\nmaterial available for its intended use. Peugeot's Pepper Grinding Mechanism\nis a two stage burr-style system. During production, the helix-shaped grooves\nand grinding teeth of the pepper mechanism are individually cut before the\nsteel is case hardened to make it virtually indestructible. The mechanism is\nthen given a proprietary treatment to provide additional protection against\ncorrosion. During use, the helix- shaped grooves guide whole peppercorns\nthrough the mechanism to crack, then grind to a consistent size by a double\nrow of teeth. This process releases the pepper's essential oils, resulting in\nmore flavor and aroma for your dish. This patented mechanism is found on every\nPeugeot Pepper mill and is widely considered the best pepper mechanism\navailable Peugeot's Salt Crushing Mechanism features two ribbed plates which\nwork to fracture and crush coarse, dry sea salt to a consistent size. The salt\ngrinding mechanism is made of corrosion resistant Stainless Steel, and is\nfound on every Peugeot Salt Mill. Peugeot's Spice Mechanism is made of\nceramic, and is specially designed to grind dried spices and flat leafy herbs\nto release their essential oils. It is particularly effective with dried\naromatic herbs such as thyme, parsley, basil, oregano, and herbs de Provence,\nas well as dried seeds such as cumin. Peugeot's Chili Pepper Mechanism is made\nof case hardened steel for optimal hardness and resilience. This patented\nmechanism features a pre-cutting system and dual chamber reservoir. For use\nwith dry, hot chilis such as birds tongue, African devils and Piri Piri.The\nNutmeg Shaving Mechanism is made of treated stainless steel which is corrosion\nresistant, and offers superior edge retention. The Peugeot nutmeg shaver is\nequipped with a double stainless steel grater blade and a strong claw which\nenables the whole nutmeg to be very finely shaved, while keeping fingers safe.\nIntended for use with whole nutmeg nuts. Peugeot's Wet Salt mechanism has been\nspecially designed for wet sea salt: a spiral guides the salt, ensuring that\nit does not stick together. The mechanism is made of ceramic because wet salt\ncrystals are soft (wear is not an issue) but corrosive. Intended for use with\ndamp sea salts such as Sel de Guerande. The Coffee Grinding Mechanism found in\nall Peugeot coffee mills is the foundation of Peugeot's grinding legacy. The\ncase-hardened steel mechanism efficiently cracks and grinds coffee beans to\nthe desired consistency:from espresso fine to coffee- press coarse. Peugeot\nManual MillsFor best results, hold mill and turn mill top in a clockwise\ndirection onlyTo adjust the Grind on manual mills not equipped with u'Select,\nturn the adjustment nut located on the top of the mill. - clockwise to obtain\na finer grind - counter-clockwise to obtain a coarser grind Peugeot Electric\nMill Electric mills permit single-handed use, leaving you free to cook at the\nsame time. Just press the button to start grinding. Classic Electric Pepper\nMillsTo adjust the grind on an electric mill, turn the thumbwheel grind\nadjustment (found below the grinding mechanism on electric mills that are not\nequipped with the u'Select system). - Clockwise to obtain a finer grind, -\nCounter-clockwise to obtain a coarser grind. Classic Electric Salt\nMillsClassic Electric Salt Mills (not fitted with the u'Select grind\nadjustment system) are pre-set to medium and cannot be adjusted. \nPepper is universal. One of the civilization's oldest spices (along with its\npartner salt), it graces tables all over the world. When in a country where I\ndon't speak the language and my soup needs a little pick-me-up, I just mime\ngrinding pepper over it, and the waiter knows what I need. This wooden pepper\ngrinder from Peugeot comes in a classic style, reminiscent of a rook from a\nchess set. To fill, unscrew the knob on top, remove the upper section, and\npour in the peppercorns. How tightly the knob is screwed back on determines\nthe grind. For a little variety, try a mix of black, green, and white\npeppercorns. Be sure to also check out the matching salt grinder. --Dana Van\nNest\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003ePeugeot Paris pepper mill in traditional styling; 7-inch height\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eSmoothly turned beechwood in choice of finish; matching salt mill available\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003e2-stage groove system cracks peppercorns before grinding for ultimate flavor\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eBrass nut unscrews top for refilling; tightness determines coarseness of grind\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Peugeot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41500043870388,"sku":"B00004SD6A","price":218.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0595\/9906\/1172\/products\/B00004SD6A.jpg?v=1652774526","url":"https:\/\/auspowers.com\/products\/peugeot-870418-1-paris-classic-7-inch-pepper-mill-chocolate-7-inch","provider":"AusPower Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
