Peugeot Elis Sense U-Select Pepper Mill 8-inch

The advantages of freshly grinding pepper, salt, herbs, and spices for cooking and seasoning are numerous. A quality mill with a specially designed grinding mechanism will release the aromas and essential oils of the spice. Freshly ground pepper and spices possess more aroma and better flavor compared to pre-ground varieties. Another benefit of using freshly ground spices or minerals (salts) is the control a mill provides in determining the coarseness (size) of the grind. A high-quality pepper, salt, or spice mill allows you to choose and adjust the coarseness according to your taste or needs.

When selecting a pepper, salt, or spice grinder, consider the following factors:

Grinding Mechanism: Choose a grinding mechanism that can withstand daily use - one that is well-made and produces a consistent grind. Ideally, the grinding mechanism should be designed to handle a specific spice, as each spice has different physical characteristics that will benefit from different design features.

Design and Appearance: Whether traditional or modern, manual or electric, a mill can be an indispensable tool in your kitchen and a beautiful part of your table decor.

Ease of Use: A quality mill should be easy to adjust, easy to fill, and feel comfortable in the hand.

Peugeot, a company with a rich history dating back to the 19th century, has established itself as a benchmark in the industry. Peugeot's iconic pepper grinding mechanism design, often imitated but never equaled, is found in every Peugeot pepper mill. Today, Peugeot offers six unique, spice-specific mechanisms, in addition to the original burr-style coffee grinder. Each mechanism is specifically designed to extract the best from the spices they are intended for.

Peugeot's Pepper Grinding Mechanism is a two-stage, burr-style system that guides whole peppercorns through the mechanism to crack and then grind them to a consistent size, releasing the pepper's essential oils for maximum flavor and aroma. The Stainless Steel Salt Crushing Mechanism features ribbed plates that fracture and crush coarse, dry sea salt to a consistent size.

Peugeot's patented u'Select grind control system, available on both electric and manual grinders, allows for quick, easy, and accurate adjustment of the grind settings. With six pre-defined levels of grind for both pepper and salt, as well as the ability to select any point in between, u'Select offers unparalleled precision and consistency.

To get the best results from your Peugeot mills, use only dry, hard, whole peppercorns (5 mm or less in diameter) and dry salt with a diameter of 4 mm or less, such as coarse sea salt or rock salt. Avoid damp salt, as it can corrode the mill.

Peugeot's mills feature a lifetime guarantee on the grinding mechanism, LED lighting, and a quiet, tactile operation. With Peugeot, you can elevate your cooking and seasoning experience with the perfect blend of quality, innovation, and performance.
