A note on Peugeot pepper and salt mills:

What kind of pepper should I use in my pepper grinder? 

• Use only dry, hard, whole peppercorns that are 5 mm (0.2”) or less in diameter.
• Use peppercorns from the piper nigrum family such as white, black (Lampong, Tellicherry, Malabar) or green
• Do not use pepper mill to grind salt, herbs, seeds, pre-ground pepper or any other spice
• Pink peppercorns may only be used as part of a peppercorn blend to a maximum of 15% pink
• Do not use peppers as they are too long, dense and thick to be ground
• Do not use pickled or brined peppercorns as they will clog the mechanism in the mill.

What kind of salt should I use in my salt grinder?

• Only use dry, coarse salts that are 4 mm (0,16 in.) or smaller. It can be used to grind a variety of salts including: Himalayan pink salt, Persian Blue salt, refined rock salt, sea salt that is not refined and Bengal salt. Use a PEUGEOT Wet Salt Mill to grind wet salt.
