Peugeot P35402 Bali FONTE Pepper Mill, cast Iron, Black, 8 cm

Product Information

With a textured cast iron body, this distinctive pepper mill looks like a chess piece (no salt version is available). It comes filled with Sichuan peppercorns. The Mignonette mills are finished in hallmarked silver-plated metal of the highest quality. They add a particular class to a table setting and make a luxurious gift for the entertainer who has everything. Our fourth and final pepper mill is our model by Peugeot, who make the wooden Paris grinder - and instead, this one has a coated cast iron body. Inspired by traditional Chinese cast iron teapots, the Bali Fonte is an attractive and compact design. Weighing in at 540g, it’s our lightest iron grinder, but still offers a satisfying heft. The Peugeot salt mill is a superior instrument of taste and an essential tool for all food lovers who recognise that the success of a dish relies on perfect seasoning. Our second Skeppshult pepper grinder has a more lightweight design, with a body made of beech wood - though it’s still fairly weighty at 0.7kg thanks to iron parts. It’s an elegant, functional design, keeping that modern Scandinavian simplicity. Unlike the other grinders, this one is twisted from the bottom, and the lid is affixed with a natural cork stopper.

Design and Style: Peugeot pepper mills are not just functional kitchen tools, they are also stylish accessories that can elevate the aesthetics of any dining setting. With designs ranging from classic to contemporary, there is a pepper mill to suit every taste and décor. Depending on your needs or preferences, you might want to manually adjust the grind of your pepper. Typically you’ll need a coarser grind for something like steak, while a finer grind allows for a more even distribution for salads or soups. You can buy mills with just one setting, but a pepper mill with adjustable grind settings offers more flexibility.

When you’re ready to invest in a kitchen tool that you’ll use every day for the rest of your life, you need to know how to look after it. Pepper grinders are in general pretty low-maintenance, but you’ll want to bear a few things in mind to keep them in top shape.The first Buy Me Once pepper grinder I’m demonstrating is this beechwood number by Peugeot. That’s Peugeot as in the car manufacturer - did you know the lion in their logo originally symbolised the crushing jaws of their grinding mechanisms? Peugeot have actually been manufacturing pepper mills in France since 1874, long before they made their first car. I’ve bought a fair few of these grinders in my life (or ones like them). These particular ones have a top that can’t unscrew, so once the pepper is used up, in the bin it goes. They’re not even recyclable due to the mixed materials. I’ve also had similar ones where the top can come off, but that often happens mid-grind, causing all the peppercorns to flood out onto your food. Soup ruined. The Bistro mills are classically shaped and reminiscent of traditional French café culture. The body is made from an attractive beechwood that looks great in any home, kitchen or restaurant.
