Choosing your mill and seasoning accessories

Which grinding mechanism to choose?

For pepper, a steel mechanism delivers a clean, adjustable grind. For salt, which is corrosive, choose a ceramic mechanism that does not oxidise. The ability to adjust the grind fineness is a real plus for tailoring the seasoning to each dish.

Which mill height for which use?

A table mill of 12 to 18 cm suits domestic use. In catering, tall mills (22 cm and above) are more visible and more practical for seasoning in front of the customer during table service.

Mill, shaker or cruet set?

The mill releases aromas at the desired moment and suits peppercorns or salt to be ground. The simpler salt shaker and pepperpot suit fine salt and already-ground pepper. The condiment set combines salt and pepper in a matching set, handy for a coherent table setting.

Which material to prefer?

Wood brings a warm, traditional look, acrylic shows the fill level, and stainless steel withstands intensive use well. The choice depends on the desired aesthetic and the frequency of use.
