Product Description
PEUGEOT: France, since 1810. Peugeot mills are renowned by chefs and gourmet cooks the word over for the consistent grind results they produce, their incredible resilience and proven reliability. Compromise is not a word that fits into the Peugeot vocabulary. For each spice, there is one – and only one – Peugeot grinding mechanism: peppercorns; coarse dry salt; chilies; herbs and spices; wet salts; and nutmeg. Add the coffee mechanism, which started it all, and there are seven unique Peugeot mechanisms. Each is designed to derive the most flavor and greatest aroma from its complementary spice. Aesthetically pleasing, Peugeot mills deliver the height of quality, durability, reliability and innovation; making these mills the ones to which all others are compared. In a similar style to Peugeot's Paris Classic wooden mills, Nancy mills are made with crystal clear acrylic. The grind is adjusted by turning the top nut: turn it clockwise (tighten) for a finer grind; counter-clockwise (loosen) for a coarser grind. This mill is equipped with Peugeot’s legendary pepper grinding mechanism. Made of case-hardened steel, it has received additional treatment against wear and corrosion. Its double-row of helix-shaped claws grab and crack each peppercorn, before drawing it down to the teeth for the perfect grind. Mill is 12-inches tall.

 Another Good Product April 21, 2008
Stuart Floyd (New York, NY)
Once again they produce a good solid product and it does what it should and searching online you can find a bargain as in stores these products can be pricey.
 Read those reviews October 23, 2007
Marianlibrarian (Austin, Tx.)
The other reviewers were absolutely correct. Although the pepper mill is great, the salt mill is worthless. Note the chefs on cooking shows: they always use a pepper mill and always take a smidgeon of salt from a bowl.
Limited Usefulness September 20, 2007

This item seems to work with the salt that comes in it - it isn't very coarse. But, as mentioned by another reviewer (that I should have read first!) it doesn't work on Pink Himalyan. The product directions packed with the product, but not mentioned online, list a lot of things including Pink salt that it should not be used with.
The quality doesn't seem to me to be as advertised because there is very little selection possible on the fineness of the salt when grinding it - even with the salt that accompanied the unit. It will not grind as coarsely as common table sale, for example. Virtually no adjustment to the coarseness of the grind.
For me, this item proved to be useless. If you get it - be certain to use nothing larger than a medium sized salt in it - coarse just won't work.
Won't work on any salt! August 15, 2007
G. Crew (Iowa)
The nut on top loosens & must constantly be readjusted. For it to work at all. I have to readjust the nut on top & shake it up & it works for about 2 turns. Very frustrating & end up using regular salt shaker! The pepper mill works find but the salt gets an F. Do not order this item.
 Lacks power for some salts July 20, 2007
Suasoria918 (Los Angeles, CA)
I'm having a tough time using this product with Himalania pink crystal salt. It may work fine with ordinary sea salt, but I purchased the clear acrylic mill mainly to show off the cool pink color of the world's best salt (in my opinion, of course...).
I've loosened the nut at the top to get a coarser grind, and it doesn't seem to work. It's surprising, since Peugeot is known for being the best choice in salt and pepper mills. My guess is that is just isn't robust enough for anything but conventional salt.
Still, it's an attractive item, a good size, and seems like a good value - but I'm still going to end up buying the salt grinder that Himalania packages with their salt, since I know that one works - and looks almost identical.
