PepMatik was AdHoc's first electric stainless steel mill, launched in 1997, and this set gives you a matching pair: one mill for salt and one for pepper. Each seasons at the touch of a button with one hand, using a CeraCut ceramic grinder that is corrosion and wear free and does not taste of metal. A built-in LED light shows what you are seasoning, and the aroma-tight lid protects the contents and keeps crumbs off the table. The mills have a stainless steel body with an acrylic window, so you can see when they need refilling. The grind adjusts continuously from fine to coarse.

Care instructions
Cleaning
Wipe the outside with a dry, soft cloth. Do not immerse the mill in water or put it in the dishwasher, as it contains a motor and batteries.
Filling
Fill with dry salt or peppercorns and leave a little space at the top so the grinder can turn freely.
Storage
Keep the mills in a dry place away from steam, and take the batteries out if you will not use them for a long time.
Questions and answers
What is in the set?
Two matching electric mills, one for salt and one for pepper. Keep each mill for its own seasoning to avoid flavour carry-over.
What batteries do they need?
Each mill runs on six AAA batteries, which are included. The battery compartment is under the outer casing.
Can I grind salt in them?
Yes. The CeraCut grinder is ceramic, so it is not damaged by salt. Use dry coarse sea salt or rock salt, and avoid damp salts and light finishing salts such as Maldon.
Can I put them in the dishwasher?
No. They contain a motor and batteries, so they are not dishwasher safe. Wipe the outside with a dry, soft cloth.
How long is the guarantee?
AdHoc gives a 30-year guarantee on the CeraCut grinder and a 2-year warranty on the rest of the mill.
