Review on Enhance Your Culinary Experience with the Peugeot Paris u'Select Salt Mill, 9 Inch – Natural Beauty and Precision by Tommy Hilmy

The raw base of these mills "can" absorb moisture from a wet surface, which can cause wood joinery to fail. To avoid this possibility, take a few minutes to apply a light coat of vegetable oil to seal the wood. Peugeot makes a wonderful grinder that should work flawlessly for years. February 12 Update: Why Use a Salt Mill? Because very finely ground sea salt seems to add more flavor than a lot more salt crystals in my opinion. Also, sealing bare wood seems to have done the trick without sacrificing functionality by an iota. Well, if we don't drop it on the floor like someone else said, it's going to last a long time. By the way, please note: This item is subject to super saver shipping. Make sure to change your default shipping preferences before completing your transaction! Join me in encouraging Revain to set Super Saver Shipping as the default option to avoid the misleading practice of including unwanted shipping costs for an option that should be an "upgrade" option. 7/1/12 Ring cracked as reported by others. The grind adjustment mechanism is a great idea, but poorly implemented because the wooden ring is too thin! It cracks where the grain of the wood is radial. Accidentally discovered the crack before the opposite side broke; That way I was able to apply a dab of wood glue and clamp it to mend the crack. If you look at the underside where the wood meets the plastic ring; This is one area where it would be beneficial to add a layer of wood glue to reinforce the wood, especially where the natural texture is at a 90 degree angle to the outer surface.
