Cole & Mason Beech Wood Salt & Pepper Mills, Set of 2, Clear/Natural

A classic Cole & Mason set of salt and pepper mills made from acrylic and beech wood from a sustainable source. The beech has been finished with a clear lacquer to allow the natural beauty of the wood grain to shine through. Featuring Cole & Mason Precision mechanisms that are covered by the lifetime mechanism guarantee giving you the confidence of many years of excellent performance. The pepper mill comes with a carbon steel mechansim that strips rather than crushes peppercorns allowing more flavour release with every turn. The salt mill comes with a diamond-sharp ceramic mechanism that ensures accurate seasoning with every use.

Use the knob on the top of the mills to adjust the grind from a fine to a coarse setting. Coarse settings are ideal for steak, medium for pizzas and fine for soups and sauces. Both mills come partially filled with premium quality Vietnamese black peppercorns and Belgian coarse sea salt so are ready to use from the moment they arrive. When you do need to refill, simply unscrew the knob and remove along with the wooden top. Fill up with your preferred whole peppercorns and coarse salt and replace the top. If your mill becomes difficult to grind, particularly on a fine setting, trying clearing the mechanism. Turn the mill upside down, loosen the knob to the coarsest setting and twist the top. This will free any large peppercorns or salt crystals that may have become lodged. Retighten the knob to the desired setting. Do not put salt in your pepper mill as this will corrode the carbon steel mechanism.

Easily refill your mills by simply unscrewing the knob on top and remove along with the wooden top. Fill up with whole peppercorns and coarse salt, replace the top and continue enjoying freshly ground seasoning. Salt should not be placed in the pepper mill as it will corrode the mechanism. Adjust the grind from fine to coarse by tightening or loosening the knob on top of the mill. Use a coarse setting for steaks, a medium setting for pizzas and a fine setting for soups and sauces. To clean, wipe with a damp cloth and use a clean cloth to dry. We recommend you do not use any cleaning products as this can affect the finish of the product. Do not immerse in water or place in a dishwasher.

Freshly ground salt and pepper delivers a more intense and true flavour and enhances the taste of food. A fine grind gives an even flavour and is perfect for sauces, while a coarse grind is ideal for marinades or steaks. Below are a few options to consider when choosing your salt or pepper mill.
