Customer Reviews of Peugeot Paris Classic 7-Inch Salt and Pepper Mill Set, Chocolate Matte
Customer Rating:   Summary: Peugeot Paris Salt and Pepper Mill Comment: Peugeot is the only brand of salt an pepper mills that I would consider purchasing for personal use or as a gift. The only improvement that I would like to see is to be able to purchase new hardware (grinding heads) as they do eventually wear out. Customer Rating: Summary: Peugeot Saly & Pepper Mills - a classic pair Comment: This set is the perfect, classic set of salt and pepper mills. The matte chocolate finish has the richness of dark, stained wood without the glare of shiny glaze. The top of each one has a small "S" or "P" on the top screw so you know which is which. The only negative is (like all mills) a bit of the pepper or salt falls out onto the counter or table every time you put it down. Still, a fabulous, high-quality set for all upscale kitchens. Customer Rating: Summary: Grand France Comment: This product is a hybrid between old and new. It is an age old design that never falls from fashion and above all else it is a purely functional item. You may find that the adjustments are very finneky but it will provide delightful and flavorful pepper and salt for all meals. These mills will last forever and will upgrade any kitchen. I bought mine in France and love them to death. They are as great on the table as in the kitchen. You will not be disappointed. Happy eats. Customer Rating: Summary: Falls apart during usage Comment: The pepper grinding course/fine adjustment screw never stays in position and the entire top of the pepper mill falls off during use. Surprisingly, the pepper mill comes only one-third filled with peppercorns. The satin finish absorbs oil from your hands and feels greasy after a short time. Even worse, after a short time the mating surface between the removable top half and the base gets a coating of fine pepper and when the top is turned, the pepper mill emits a load squeal. I am very unsatisfied with this product. The salt mill, too, does not come completely filled with coarse sea salt and the grinding adjustment screw never holds firmly in place. More Reviews An exceptional gift, this set contains two seven-inch Paris pepper and salt mills from Peugeot, traditionally styled of turned beechwood and available in a choice of finish. The difference between the salt and pepper mills lies in the grinding mechanism. Peugeot pepper mills use case-hardened-steel grinding heads with two sizes of grooves; the larger grooves crack the peppercorns in half and direct them into the smaller grooves, which grind them much more finely than most mills. The grinding mechanism in Peugeot salt mills is purposefully constructed with 18/10 stainless-steel, which won't corrode from prolonged contact with the salt. The top of each mill unscrews for adding peppercorns and salt, while the round ball nut can be loosened or tightened to vary the coarseness of the grind. Paris pepper and salt mills are also sold individually. The mills come in a wide range of heights, from 4-3/4 to nearly 20 inches, and in a variety of finishes, including matte chocolate and natural wood, and a shiny blue, yellow, or red lacquer. Care for the mills is easy: clean the exterior and inner chamber with a damp cloth; never immerse in water; avoid putting salt in the pepper mill, or grinding green or pink peppercorns by themselves (mixed with black is fine); and avoid damp types of salt (usually pink or gray) in the regular salt mill. Made in France, Peugeot mills are covered by a two-year replacement policy, while the grinding mechanism is covered by a lifetime warranty. Peugeot has been a leading manufacturer of pepper mills since the 1840s, and is a brand preferred by many restaurants and chefs. --Ann Bieri 
Choosing Appliance -> Salad spinner While some may consider this a bit on the gadgety side, I think it is a must as dressings do not stick to water-logged salad greens. Choosing Appliance -> Taps If you want a sink with large bowl dimensions to cope with big-pan washing-up, it is worth considering a tap with a pull-out or pull-down spray rinse. This gives you water anywhere you need it around the bowl area. Peugeot Paris Classic 7-Inch Salt and Pepper Mill Set, Chocolate Matte
Useful info -> Outdoor Kitchen An outdoor kitchen can help you slow down and spend more time with family and friends by putting all the ingredients for outdoor dining close at hand. It can be as simple as a storage cabinet for cooking gear or as ambitious as a full kitchen with grill, refrigerator, sink and eating area. Either way, your yard will gain an outside "room" that's a natural gathering spot. |
