Description of Clear Peugeot Nancy Salt Mill, 12 Inches

MODERN SALT MILL — The Nancy salt mill enhances the flavors of the meals that you create. Made in the shape of the renowned Paris mill by Peugeot, it marries tradition with a window into modern design and flavor. The transparency showcases and enhances the salt crystals to awaken your senses at a single glance. ADJUSTABLE KNOB — The grind control knob on the head of the mill can be twisted to create your precise balance of flavor. A two-stage grinding mechanism first effortlessly cracks, and then grinds the salt to the desired texture. PRECISION GRIND — Through two centuries of experience, we have expertly engineered each salt mill and mechanism specifically for the consistency and shape of the salt. This salt grinder transforms dry salt crystals into your desired grain size. We make the mill mechanism from stainless steel that is not sensitive to salt corrosion for a lifetime longevity. ENHANCE FLAVOR — To help you bring out the best in your food and your Nancy mill, use only dry rock salt — it is not recommended for sea salt. Salt intensifies aromas, balances other flavors, and makes vegetables tastier. Find your Peugeot moment and enjoy the art of French living with our instruments of taste. READY TO SEASON — Our mills come partially filled for immediate enjoyment. The Cristaux de sel blanc d'Allemagne is a dry white salt that comes from Germany, and is perfect for everyday cooking. The salt is available to buy in Peugeot 13 oz. (370g) cubes. To refill simply unscrew the top knob, lift off the top and pour in your dry salt (max size smaller than 1⁄6 inch/4mm).

Stop sending salt or pepper grinders inside

I'm not as happy with this grinder as I thought I would be. I can't get a fine grind with it. It was filled with coarse salt that might have hardened. I didn't really need the salt, so I might need to clean it, fill it with higher quality salt, and then adjust the grind size.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Good but not great

Great Mills best in Salt Mills

I have had the same model pepper mill for about 10 years. In the end I decided I needed a real salt mill. I was a bit surprised that after all this time I could still find the same model and size pepper mill. The pepper grinder has worked fine all along and the new salt grinder seems to be of the same quality so I don't expect any problems. High quality and functionality.

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • Concerned

Good looking and solid

The grinder is heavy and looks very nice, big piece of acrylic, the actual grinder is metal so should last a long time. It works fine but nothing special. I didn't notice any significant difference in grind size when using the coarse or fine setting. It should be noted that it doesn't hold up very well as most of the grinder is made out of hard acrylic with a tube in the middle for the salt.

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Not automatic

worth the damn money

This brand is top notch. Although expensive, I'm used to sorting out salt and pepper shakers about twice a year. So that's a lifeline. I expect it to last forever, like my pepper shaker from the same company. I first met a Puegot in Italy at a restaurant. My husband and I picked up the marker immediately after grinding our meal with a pepper grinder. These things are strong and so smooth. Really good quality.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Expensive insurance

Awesome mini straw grinder for desktop.

This small salt mill is made in France by Peugeot and is very well made. Yes, the design is old, but it works pretty well. Having used this grinder for more than three years we have had no complaints. The grinder looks nice and is well finished with an eye on aesthetics and ergonomics. The controls are simple but functional (you unscrew the lid for a finer grind) and the materials used are of the highest quality - acrylic is durable and doesn't smell smoky on arrival.

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • so far, so good

Works for salt flakes (sort of) NOT rock salt

I have had a Peugeot acrylic pepper mill for years. Love it. I finally decided to buy a matching salt shaker. However, this model only grinds fine salt flakes. I tried a mortar and pestle to make the rock salt more convenient (it's already a small pebble size). The salt shaker does not grind the salt. I tried peppercorns. It doesn't work with pepper either. My pepper mill works great with rock salt. I wonder if I have a full butt as even the salt flakes it came with didn't dissolve very well…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

Worth a heck of a lot of money

Pros
  • FLAVOR ENHANCEMENT - To get the most out of your food and Nancy Mill use only dry rock salt - this is not recommended for sea salt. Salt enhances flavors, balances other flavors, and makes vegetables tastier. Find your Peugeot moment and enjoy the French art of living with our flavor tools

Limited Use Kitchen Utensils and Gadgets

This item seems to work with the salt it contains - it's not very coarse. But as another reviewer mentioned (I should have read that first!) it doesn't work on Pink Himalyan. The product instructions that come packaged with the product but aren't mentioned online list many things, including pink salt, that it shouldn't be used with. The quality doesn't seem advertised to me as there are very few options on the website to choose the fineness of the salt when grinding - even the salt that came…

Pros
  • ADJUSTABLE KNOB - The grinder knob on the grinder head can be turned to achieve a fine balance of flavors. The two-stage grinding mechanism first breaks the salt down slightly and then grinds it to the desired texture
Cons
  • Slightly Crumpled
