• Advantage of Freshly ground Spices There 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 its 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 Peugeots story starts in the 19th century when the Peugeot brothers converted the familys 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 Peugeots iconic pepper grinding mechanism design is often copied but never equaled Today Peugeot offers six unique spicespecific mechanisms plus the original burrstyle 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 Its All About the Mechanism The primary difference between Peugeot and all other brands are the spicespecific 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 Peugeots Pepper grinding Mechanism is a two stage burrstyle system During production the helixshaped 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 peppers 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 available Peugeots 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 Peugeots 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 Peugeots chili Pepper Mechanism is made of case hardened steel for optimal hardness and resilience This patented mechanism features a precutting 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 Peugeots 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 Peugeots grinding legacy The casehardened steel mechanism efficiently cracks and grinds coffee beans to the desired consistencyfrom 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 uSelect turn the adjustment nut located on the top of the mill clockwise to obtain a finer grind counterclockwise to obtain a coarser grind Peugeot Electric Mill Electric mills permit singlehanded use leaving you free to cook at the same time Just press the button to start grinding classic Electric Pepper Mills To adjust the grind on an electric mill turn the thumbwheel grind adjustment (found below the grinding mechanism on electric mills that are not equipped with the uSelect system) clockwise to obtain a finer grind counterclockwise to obtain a coarser grind classic Electric Salt Mills classic Electric Salt Mills (not fitted with the uSelect grind adjustment system) are preset to medium and cannot be adjusted .
