Overview
Grinding salt, pepper and spices with a ratchet action, this manual mill uses a ceramic mechanism with an adjustable setting. The body is black plastic, and no power source is required.
A ceramic mechanism is the reason a single mill can take salt as well as peppercorns. The ratchet action grinds without a twisting grip, and the grind can be set to taste. The body is plastic and details on capacity are missing.
Who it's for
Home cooks grinding fresh pepper, salt or dry spices at the stove or table. Anyone who needs a big refill capacity, or a battery-powered grinder, should look at a different mill.
Pros and cons
- Light plastic body
- Ratchet grinds without a twist
- Handles salt, pepper and spices
- Plastic, not wood or steel
- Capacity not listed
- Manual effort needed
Performance notes
Pressure on the ratchet turns the ceramic burrs, which crush the peppercorns or salt crystals between them. The adjustment changes the gap between the burrs, which sets coarse or fine output. Hardness of ceramic is why it can also be used for salt.
