8″ Traditional Peppermill Saltmill Set- Curly Maple Laminate

I made this curly maple salt and peppermill set to feature a stripe of bocote wood added to each mill as an accent for contrast. I harvested the curly maple wood here in Pennsylvania. The bocote grows in Mexico and was sustainably harvested. Filling these mills is simple. By removing the top knob, the cap slips off giving you access to a large reservoir for storing the peppercorns or coarse salt. The salt mills are not intended for table salt but a coarse flavorful one like sea salt or kosher salt. This is the first style of mill I designed over 20 years ago and have since streamlined the design into a sensuous, soft form that is also ergonomically pleasing to use in the hands. By continuously turning the top cap clockwise a steady stream of ground pepper, to your liking, will fall crisply into all of your favorite dishes. The top nut adjusts pepper and salt from a fine to medium coarse grind. Priced as a set.

I have several of these mills in my own kitchen for grinding different spices. One year I grew my own cayenne pepper and crushed it into flakes using a food processor. It was HOT! When I ran out of my own stock I purchased some McCormick’s crushed red pepper. It paled in heat value. I tried an experiment by placing some of this store-bought crushed red pepper into one of my traditional peppermills and voila…the HEAT was increased exponentially! The moral…if you want full bodied flavor from dried spices…GRIND!
