Grinding pepper could not be easier than with a Peugeot electric mill. Its simple, one-handed operation makes it as convenient to use as it is reliable. It features the renowned Peugeot pepper grinding mechanism and a reliable, efficient motor.
The Peugeot pepper grinding system is a two stage channeling and grinding process which cracks peppercorns before they are ground, giving you the freshest and most flavorful taste. The mechanism has a helix-shaped double row of teeth that guides the peppercorns and holds them to be cracked before being ground to the desired size. This two-stage grinding process releases more of the peppers oils, maximizing all the flavors and aromas of the variety of peppercorns being ground. The steel mechanism is case hardened to ensure sharpness and resiliency. It has also received a patented treatment that protects it from corrosion and further enhances its resistance to wear.
To obtain the best results from any Peugeot mill, the mechanism should always be turned in a clockwise direction, never back and forth, and never counter-clockwise, as this direction forces product out of the grinding mechanism and causes inconsistent grinding results.
Each Peugeot mill carries this exceptional limited warranty against manufacturing and materials defect:
- the whole mill is guaranteed for two years from the date of purchase
- the grinding mechanism carries a lifetime warranty
