Key features Peugeot PM17118
- 2-stage groove system cracks peppercorns before grinding for ultimate flavor
- Ball nut on top turns to adjust coarseness of grind
- Made in France; 2-year warranty; lifetime warranty on grinding mechanism
- Fidji pepper mill adds contemporary elegance to a table; 8-1/4-inch height
- Stainless-steel top and hardwood base in choice of finish
- Model: Peugeot Fidji Pepper Mill 8-1/4-Inch, Wild Cherry
Review Peugeot Fidji Pepper Mill 8-1/4-Inch, Wild Cherry / Peugeot PM17118:Fidji pepper and salt mills from Peugeot add contemporary elegance to the table with their sleek, hour-glass-shaped wooden bases and stainless-steel tops. Each top displays the Peugeot name and signature lion icon, and either an S or P to differentiate the salt and pepper. The difference between the two 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 or salt, while the round ball nut can be loosened or tightened to vary the coarseness of the grind. Fidji pepper and salt mills make exceptional gifts individually or as a set. The mills come in a variety of heights, from 4-3/4 to 10-3/4 inches, and in a variety of finishes, including matte black, cherry, and natural wood, and a shiny black or red lacquer. Care for a mill 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. |
