OXO Good Grips Salt and Pepper Grinder Set Review

My sister turned me onto OXO kitchenware a few years back.She has issues gripping utensils.I liked them for their construction, how well they work and easy clean up.I saw these mills and loved the look and the quality materials they are made of.They are solidly constructed yet still light enough not to cause issues for those that OXO items were designed.

Both mills have adjustments on the collar above the see-through storage portion.There are little "ears" that allow selection of one of five various settings for "fine" through coarse granules to exit the mill.
I wouldn't call any of the dispensed salt or pepper "fine"but that's perfectly okay for me and my family.Please consider other options if you like "pepper dust"as these puppies just won't grind that fine.

As others have noted, the mills set "upright" with the ceramic teeth facing the sky.It seems a little point, but how often have you lifted your old pepper mill to find flecks on the counter or table top?Filling and actual turning of the base portion to dispense either the pepper or salt is effortless.

I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase. (In fact I have a feeling I know what I will get some family members for a certain upcoming holiday)
Unless you simply don't have access anything other than pre-ground salt, I urge you to get the set that contains two mills, not the pepper mill and salt shaker)

Both mills do come loaded ready for use.I read where some have dumped the peppercorns that came with, to refill them with the identical black peppercorns. Whole spices tend to have a lengthy shelf-life.Upon checking, I see they say peppercorns have about 4 yrs. A few have dumped the salt too.It must be due to their concerns with contamination rather than the salt going bad.Being a hearty soul, I opted to not waste what came to me. Pungent pepper and salt as fine or course as I ask is delivered painlessly in two beautiful little packages.I couldn't be happier with my decision.

Peugeot Vendome 5-1/2-Inch Salt and Pepper Mill Set, Chocolate Review

I had heard good things about this brand so I bought these. They looked nice in the photo but they actually are much more beautiful. The lid screw controls the coarseness of the grind so it is continuous, which I like. They work very well.

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. Compact, comfortable and attractive, the clear acrylic body of the Vendome is complemented by its beech wood top with a chocolate varnished finish. The grind is adjusted by turning the top nut: turn it clockwise (tighten) for a finer grind; counter-clockwise (loosen) for a coarser grind. The pepper 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. The salt mill is equipped with Peugeot's exceptional salt grinding mechanism: it is unlike anything else on the market. Its two ribbed plates are made from a stainless steel blend that offers resiliency, rigidity and resistance to corrosion from dry salts. When the mechanism is activated, the ribs work to twist and fracture each salt crystal to the desired size. Set includes 5-1/2-inch salt mill, and 5-1/2-inch pepper mill both with a chocolate varnished finish.

Cole and Mason Bobbi Salt and Pepper Mill Set, Brushed Chrome and Clear Acrylic Review

I was surprised when I opened the package -- they were larger than I had thought.They have a very classic design and look to them.So far I am very pleased, however, I am not able to find a way to change the grind on the pepper mill, so I think you are only able to get one type of grind and that is 'fine'.This I can live with - but wish I could get a bit of a courser grind. Other than that issue, for what you pay for this set it is a good purchase.

Product Description:
Cole and Mason, the leading Brand of salt and pepper mills worldwide, is synonymous with innovative design, product performance, and quality.Our extensive range of mills, from traditional to contemporary, has something to suit every table setting.Cole and Mason's standard mills are fitted with patented mechanisms, stainless steel for pepper and nylon for salt.Our Gourmet mills feature machine cut hardened carbon steel for pepper and ceramic for salt, while the Electronic and Inverta style mills all feature ceramic mechanisms for salt and pepper.The mechanisms are fully adjustable so they deliver freshly ground pepper or sea salt in fine to coarse grinds.All mechanisms have a lifetime guarantee. Our pepper mechanisms strip the peppercorns to break them into smaller pieces so that flavor is slowly released onto food, rather than crushing the corns and squeezing out the pepperin oils, whereby releasing the flavor very quickly into the atmoshpere. Stainless steel is an ideal material for the pepper mill as it will not corrode and can be made very sharp, giving improved variability of grind. Our standard salt mechanism has a unique anti-static, clog-free design and is molded for high precision with sharp grinding teeth.Nylon is used due to its hard wearing characteristics.Being non-porous, it does not absorb odors and is therefore suitable for salt.
