There are many different varieties of sea salt and rock salt available today and the different minerals found in each can have a subtle impact on a dish. When the salt is to be used – before, during or after cooking – also influences whether the salt should be coarse or fine
 |

PEUGEOT’s high grade stainless steel salt mechanism is resistant to the corrosive properties of dry salt. It is specifically designed to fracture and crush dry salt to the desired consistency without causing wear upon itself |
|
It is quickly recognized because the mechanism remains flush with its mounting point on the underside of the mill body |
|
|
 |
Suitable for use in the PEUGEOT salt mills:
|
Dry sea salt and rock salt of a medium-coarse size – ideally between 5mm and 6 mm in diameter |
Never suitable for use in PEUGEOT salt mills
|
Wet salt. This seasoning is highly corrosive due to the moisture content within the salt. No stainless steel is rustproof and wet salt will cause the PEUGEOT salt mechanism to corrode.

PEUGEOT does have two products to handle wet salt: the wet salt mechanism found on the Vendôme wet salt mills; and the Guérande wet salt dispenser |
|
|
Fancy salt mixes that include flavor enhancers such as dried citrus rind, garlic or onion, because:
| A) |
the humidity from those additives can moisten the salt, making it more corrosive; and |
| B) |
the salt mill is designed to crush dry salt crystals, not grind plant-derived spices |
|
|
Smaller dry salt crystals, such as fine finishing salts or common table salt, as they are likely to flow straight through the mechanism if it is set to anything other than the finest grind |
|
Salt crystals that are too large, as the mechanism design will not accommodate them |
|
Peppers or any other herbs or spices |
