Peugeots history begins in the 19th century with the manufacturing of items such as pepper and coffee grinders. More than 160 years later, Peugeot grinders still set the standard in the kitchens of the greatest chefs. Peugeot Mills are partially filled with salt at the factory in France as part of final assembly and testing. The salt mechanism is made of stainless steel and is not sensitive to salt corrosion. The Peugeot salt mechanism is designed to grind cooking salt. To get the best out of your Peugeot salt grinding mechanism, you should use: salt with a diameter of 4 mm (3/16″) or less; dry coarse salt: dry sea salt or rock salt. Classic grind adjustment: turn the top knob tighter (clockwise) for finer grinds; looser (counter-clockwise) for coarser grinds. Use a soft lightly damp cloth to clean.
