Set of 2 salt and peppercorn grinders, 12 cm, "Fidji Z", Black - Peugeot

Set of 2 grinders for salt and peppercorn "Fidji Z", with a height of 12 cm, produced by Peugeot.

The Peugeot salt and peppercorn grinders from the Fidji range bring a distinctive elegance to the table thanks to their hourglass-shaped design and the materials used.
The upper part is made of stainless steel and, along with the Peugeot logo, is marked with the letter S or P, depending on the type of grinder. It can be unscrewed to allow the spice to be added. The grind selection knob is also located here; it turns clockwise for a finer grind and counterclockwise for a coarser grind. The lower part, the body of the grinder, is made of beech wood.

Lifetime-guaranteed mechanisms

Peugeot mechanisms are specially developed according to the intended use of each grinder. Thus, peppercorn grinders use a hard stainless steel grinding mechanism with two rows of spiral-shaped teeth, designed to efficiently guide the peppercorns. The first, larger row is designed to crush the peppercorn, while the second ensures perfect grinding.

The mechanism of the salt grinders is designed to crush salt crystals. It is made of zirconium, an exceptionally hard material. It can produce anything from powdered salt to a coarser grind, depending on how tightly the knob at the top of the grinder is screwed.

What type of salt is recommended?

For best results, dry salt is recommended, with crystals no larger than 4 mm in diameter, such as rock salt or coarse salt. Do not use the salt grinder to grind peppercorn or sea salt, as its moisture can corrode the mechanism.

What type of peppercorn is recommended?

Dry, hard black, white, or green peppercorns are recommended, with a maximum diameter of approximately 5 mm. Pink peppercorns may only be used in a blend (maximum 15% pink peppercorn) with one of the types of peppercorn mentioned above. Dried coriander seeds can also be used in Peugeot peppercorn grinders.

The grinders are supplied without spices.

Height: 12 cm.
