WMF Trend Ceramill Empty Grinding Mill Review

WMF Trend Ceramill Empty Grinding Mill
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Pros: Grinds easily. Very good output for size. Easy to re-fill. Has a cap to keep counters clean from mill residue. Ceramic grinding mechanism is as strong as steel and will not rust.

Cons: 1 star less because some pieces are plastic, so may break if dropped. If it lasts a year of regular use, I will upgrade the rating.
Value: In my experience, it grinds better than any other mill at this price point. You could get a better mill with metal exterior, no plastic parts, and ceramic grinding mechanism, but it will cost 3x as much as this one.

Update: After a couple years, this is still good as new. If possible, I would upgrade to 5 stars. I have used it for pepper, mustard seeds, and cumin. Cloves require a bit of wrist action, but it still turns well even though cloves are rather oily. If you want to use a grinder with several spices, then I would similarly recommend a very similar product in Ikea which is a bit less expensive andfor which they sell empty containers with lids that can be used with the grinder top.

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. Cut and shaped from select French beech wood, Fidji's sleek silhouette is dressed with a brushed stainless steel top.Fidji classic has a traditional grind adjustment: turn the top nut clockwise (tighten) for a finer grind; counter-clockwise (loosen) for a coarser grind. This 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. Mill is 8-1/4-inches tall with a black matte finish.

RSVP White Marble Swivel Top Salt Box Review

RSVP White Marble Swivel Top Salt Box
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I received this swivel top salt box as a birthday gift. Right away, you know this is going to be something special. The weight of the marble is very nice, and makes it have a very "rich" feel to it. This is LARGE too, larger than you might guess from the photo. At 5" diameter and a bit over 2" tall this thing is more than a handful. This won't work very well if you plan on placing it on the back of your stove, where the edge isn't very wide, but I don't think your supposed to use it there anyway.Mine sits on my dining room table and we use it as we would a salt mill or shaker.

The swivel on the top is very sturdy and I am sure will last for years. The lid slides cleanly with no problems.On the bottom are four felt pads so your furniture does not get scratched.

The two compartments are LARGE and I won't have to refill this thing very often. For mine I have coarse kosher in one side and fine sea salt in the other. Who could ask for more? This is heaven for me.

There isn't a tiny little spoon to come with it, if you want one you will need to supply your own. But if you had one just keep in mind you would have to store the spoon elsewhere because it won't probably fit inside with the lid closed.

Oatmeal stoneware Salt Pig and Spoon Salt Keeper Review

Oatmeal stoneware Salt Pig and Spoon Salt Keeper
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We use nothing but kosher salt in our kitchen, and it is impossible to get kosher salt out of a salt shaker because the holes in the shaker are not large enough.Instead, I open the salt shaker, pour some salt into my hand, and promptly drop a blob of salt into the food.This is highly unsanitary, and it is embarrassing to see dinner guests beat the living daylights out of the salt shaker in order to season their food. I purchased this product - and I still don't know WHY it works; I just know that it is the answer that I have been looking for!It is really a cute little item (it even has a cute little piggy tail on the back), and the salt spoon is just the perfect size for just about everything.It is an inexpensive and attractive fix for people who love kosher salt.You will not be disappointed.

Tupperware SMALL Hourglass Salt & Pepper Shakers with Tropical Water Seal Review

Tupperware SMALL Hourglass Salt & Pepper Shakers with Tropical Water Seal
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I recently bought five sets of these mini salt and pepper shakers for myself and as gifts.Granted, they are not elegant enough for a dinner party.However, I mainly bought them to use for picnics and for camping.They are waterproof and spill-proof.We live in a humid climate, so we prefer to have our salt and pepper in containers that can keep out the moisture.I love Tupperware, and these are great when you just want something small.The shaker openings are small, so the salt and pepper do not come out quickly.They arrived quickly from the shipper, but I wish that they would have combined shipping prices (I had to pay individual shipping for each shaker set purchased, even though they were all shipped in the same envelope).That is my only complaint.

Mario Batali Salt Cellar Review

Mario Batali Salt Cellar
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The cellar has a real heavy weight feel to it and it's made of good quality wood, it has magnets so you only need to push the lid a little bit and the magnet will do the rest for you, it holds a fairly good amount of salt I personally use it to hold coarse and fine sea salts and I love the way it looks near the stove top.UPDATE APR 27th 2009
I went to a store that carried these cellars and noticed that none of them closed properly and the wood was poor quality, they didn't even have the same color!

I bought mine when it first came out so I guess I was lucky that it was perfect, they probably have a cheaper manufacturer now because the ones I saw were nothing like mine.

Cole & Mason Manhattan Electronic 7" Pepper or Salt Mill Review

Cole & Mason Manhattan Electronic 7' Pepper or Salt Mill
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is an exceptionally well made device. It has a very solid feel and heft. We are using it for salt because we have a different model already for pepper. However the pepper grinder, a Sharper Image item, is just not in the same category of excellence.

We have owned it for less than two months, but it would appear to me that it will last a long, long time.

The grind size is adjustable. It's very quiet. It is also beautiful, with a cross section that is a rounded square rather than just a plain cylinder.

The top section twists only about 15 degrees, then lifts off to fill and to change batteries. The fit of the lid is satifyingly firm and solid.

I wish I had something negative to add, but I just cannot find any fault with it.
