Its wooden construction provides good tactile feel and visual warmth while remaining compact enough for small kitchens. German manufacturing standards ensure reliable build quality and long-term performance when used for seasoning tasks.

How to use

Fill the mill with dry salt crystals through the top opening according to the manufacturer's filling instructions. Hold the body steady with one hand and turn the crank with the other to grind salt directly onto food or into a container. Adjust grind size if the mechanism provides a setting, and avoid putting wet or damp salt into the mill to prevent clogging or corrosion of the grinding parts. Clean the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth and follow specific care guidance for the internal mechanism from the manufacturer.

Recommendations

Use coarse, dry salt for best performance and consistent grinding. Store the mill in a dry place away from direct steam or moisture to maintain the wooden finish and the grinding mechanism. Periodically inspect and, if recommended by the manufacturer, lightly brush the grinding parts to remove residue.
