My FIL is wanting to purchase the Salt and Pepper Mill and since I don't have it I was hoping that someone could answer a couple of questions.

Does the mill only grind pepper or does it also grind salt?

How do you like it, how does it work and does it work well?

TIA

It is awesome! Regular salt goes in the top and pepper corns go in the bottom. To use it just squeeze the handle to grind the pepper and turn it over to shake out the salt - one hand operation.
 
You can also adjust how finely or coarsely you want the pepper ground. I love this tool! I take it to all of my shows and demo it in a prep bowl to show them. I also cross-sell with the funnels now that they are available, because the small funnel makes it easier to fill the peppercorns.
 
Large hopperI love it for the following reasons:

  1. You can adjust the grind
  2. Only one thing on the table instead of two
  3. Easy to operate, even for those with disabilites
  4. Large opening to fill with peppercorns...no annoying (but so yummy) little black balls rolling on the counter
  5. The spot for filling the salt is the perfect size for the pour spout on the salt container...no mess, no fuss, no thinking!

I could probably think of more, but that's it for now...

BTW, Admin Greg, love the list feature...it ROCKS!

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I consider when choosing a salt and pepper mill?

When choosing a salt and pepper mill, consider the material (wood, stainless steel, or acrylic), the grinding mechanism (ceramic or steel), size and capacity, ease of use, and whether it has adjustable grind settings. Additionally, look for mills that are easy to refill and clean.

What type of grinding mechanism is best for salt and pepper mills?

Ceramic grinding mechanisms are often preferred for salt and pepper mills because they are durable, resistant to corrosion, and can handle both salt and pepper. Steel mechanisms are also effective, particularly for pepper, but may not be suitable for salt due to corrosion issues.

How do I maintain my salt and pepper mill?

To maintain your salt and pepper mill, clean it regularly by wiping the exterior with a damp cloth. For the grinding mechanism, avoid using water; instead, use a dry brush to remove any residue. Always refill with the appropriate type of salt or pepper to prevent clogging.

Are adjustable grind settings important in a salt and pepper mill?

Yes, adjustable grind settings are important as they allow you to customize the coarseness of the grind according to your cooking needs. Whether you prefer fine seasoning or coarse texture, having this feature enhances versatility in your culinary applications.

What is the average price range for a good salt and pepper mill?

The average price range for a good salt and pepper mill can vary widely, typically from $15 to $100. Higher-end models may offer better materials, design, and durability, while budget options can still be effective for everyday use.
