Cleaning and Care

Other Product Considerations When Buying Salt and Pepper Mills
A good mill should feel solid in hand, grind smoothly, and allow you to adjust from fine to coarse. Durable materials like stainless steel or ceramic ensure long life and consistent results.
Why use a mill instead of pre-ground salt or pepper?
Freshly ground seasoning keeps its natural oils and aroma, giving meals a stronger, fresher flavour. It’s a simple upgrade that makes everyday cooking taste more vibrant.
Can I use one mill for both salt and pepper?
It’s better to use separate mills. Peppercorns and salt crystals need different grinding mechanisms to avoid corrosion and keep flavours pure.
What’s the difference between manual and electric mills?
Manual mills give you full control and a classic feel, while electric mills grind quickly with one-hand convenience — perfect for busy home cooks.
How do I clean my salt or pepper mill?
Wipe the inside with a dry cloth and brush away residue. Avoid using water or soap, as moisture can damage the mechanism or affect flavour.
What materials are best for salt and pepper mills?
Wood, stainless steel, and acrylic are popular for style and strength. For the grinding mechanism, ceramic is best for salt and stainless steel for pepper.
How can I adjust the grind size?
Most mills have a small screw or knob to adjust the grind. Turn it tighter for fine seasoning or loosen it for a coarser texture — perfect for any dish.
How long do salt and pepper mills last?
With quality materials and proper care, a good mill can last for years. Regular cleaning and using dry, fresh spices will keep it performing like new.
