Review on πŸ§‚ Peugeot Daman U'Select 6.5" Salt Mill, Stainless Steel - Shaftless Design by Brandon Hilton

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Nice but poorly working grinder

Huge disappointment. The Peugeot salt mill is used to grind gray salt (French salt is preferred). I bought Dry Gray Salt (specifically for the grinder) but it just glues the grinder together and after the first turn of the grinder (on the coarsest setting) not much came out. I removed the salt, thoroughly cleaned the whole mechanism, put the salt back in, the result is the same. Insanity. Himalayan salt is very dry, but little salt comes out when crushed. Finer settings bring almost nothing, coarser settings are necessary to get anything at all. On the plus side, it's easy to fill and the magnetic lid is just brilliant. Too bad he doesn't grind the salt. After almost 4 frustrating years we gave up on the Peugeot grinders and bought a set of OXO Good Grips salt and pepper grinders for less than the cost of a single Peugeot grinder. The quality of the OXO grinders looks like a fine watch compared to a Peugeot, they are stamped as roughly and assembled as a 1950's 2CV.

Pros
  • High quality specially treated stainless steel salt grinder
Cons
  • Other Other
