ABOUT PEUGEOT
Peugeot's history begins in the 19th century with the manufacture of pepper and coffee grinders, among other things. Now 200 years later, the Peugeot mill is still an indispensable tool in the kitchens of the greatest chefs.
The grinding mechanism
The grinding mechanism for pepper mills is equipped with a double row of helical teeth that grips the pepper balls, bringing them down and locking them there to grind them perfectly. A patented treatment protects the steel from corrosion without reducing its sharpness and wear resistance.The Peugeot grinder for salt mills is designed to grind coarse, dry sea salt. The grinding gear is made of stainless steel and thus impervious to attack by salt. The grinding gear is specifically tailored to grinding either pepper or salt. So you cannot grind salt in a pepper mill. This will cause the grinding mechanism to rust completely solid.
