Peugeot pepper mills have been doing the job properly since 1874. Made in France with expert engineering, they’re the quiet favourite of countless chefs for a reason. The grind is adjustable, the flavour excellent, and the build solid enough to last decades – not just a season. A smart choice for kitchens that care about quality and waste less.
FAQ: Choosing and Caring for a Peugeot Mill
How can I tell Peugeot salt and pepper mills apart?
The easiest way to tell Peugeot salt and pepper mills apart is by their grinding mechanism and subtle markings. Pepper mills have a hardened steel grinder, while salt mills use stainless steel to resist corrosion. Just flip the mill over - there’s usually an “S” or “P” engraved underneath. Some models also mark the knob or side, but it never hurts to double-check before seasoning your soup.
What makes Peugeot mills better than other grinders?
The best Peugeot mills are beloved for their precise grind and mechanisms built to last a lifetime. They use a clever two-stage process - first cracking, then grinding - for maximum flavour. The pepper mechanism is case-hardened steel, the salt one is corrosion-resistant, and every mill is backed by a lifelong guarantee. We’ve put them through their paces in our research process.
Do Peugeot mills come pre-filled with salt or pepper?
Yes, most Peugeot salt and pepper mills come pre-filled and ready to get cracking. You’ll usually find quality black peppercorns in the pepper mills and dry sea salt or rock salt in the salt ones. Just avoid using wet or pink salts - they can jam the mechanism quicker than you can say “pass the pepper”.
How do I clean and maintain a Peugeot pepper mill?
To keep your Peugeot pepper mill in top nick, wipe the outside with a dry cloth and never let water or soap near the grinding mechanism. Avoid overfilling it and stick to dry whole peppercorns - black, white, or green all work a treat. If it gets clogged, empty it out and give it a gentle shake upside down.
