These beautiful and well constructed salt and pepper grinders are just what we've been trying and failing to find for years. We are satisfied customers!
I have been in search for a grinder set that delivers. The challenge I have is that 99% of grinders spit out a few specs of pepper with every turn. I then find myself turning the grinder 50 times to actually get the amount of pepper I want in the dish I am making. This grinder throws out a tremendous amount of pepper with each turn. I was actually shocked by how much pepper comes out. I know this set it a bit more expensive than others out there but worth every penny.
I have purchased many pepper and salt mills and none of them work with efficiency like these. From fine to coarse grind, the ease and outcome is exceptional.
We've had this set for about 6 months. The salt mill was replaced because the top kept coming off when you picked it up, spilling salt everywhere. The set is beautiful and functions well, but has one fatal flaw -- it leaves a mess of salt and pepper everywhere. No matter how careful you are, any time you set it down on a surface, salt and pepper fall from the bottom of the mill onto the table. I am so tired of wiping away piles of salt and pepper granules from every surface in my kitchen. I would not recommend this set solely for this reason.
