"Advantage of Freshly Ground SpicesThere are many benefits to freshly grinding
pepper, salt, herbs 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, herbs 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 treatment 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 herbs to release their essential oils. It is particularly
effective with dried aromatic herbs such as thyme, parsley, basil, oregano,
and herbs de Provence, as well as dried seeds 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
