The distinctive fluted design of the Palm Satin Medium Salt Mill is crafted from the finest 18/10 stainless steel, with a brushed satin finish that feels genuinely tactile in the hand. It features a ceramic mechanism from CrushGrind, easily adjustable from fine to coarse, and is easy to refill from the top. A white collar and base clearly identify it as a salt mill, distinct from the matching black-collared Palm Satin Pepper Mill.

Care
- Cleaning the exterior: Use a dry microfibre cloth, dampened for stubborn marks and dried immediately afterwards. Never submerge the mill in water or place it in the dishwasher, as this will damage the internal grinding mechanism.
- Before adding new salt: Empty the existing salt, add a tablespoon of coarse salt, adjust the grinder to fine, and grind until no more salt comes out. Remove any excess before adding fresh salt. This helps clean residue from the ceramic mechanism.
- Deep cleaning the mechanism: Unscrew the grey adjusting wheel and carefully remove the ceramic cone, keeping the spring securely in place. Wipe loose dust from the cone with a cloth or brush, then wash the cone in water. Wipe and leave to dry thoroughly before replacing.
- Use: Never use this mill above a steaming pot, as it can clog and damage the mechanism. Keep it dedicated to salt only. Use rock salt or dry, coarse sea salt rather than light finishing salts like Maldon or fleur de sel, which are too light and friable for a mill.
- Storage: Store in a dry location, away from steam or humidity.
Questions and Answers
Q: Can I use this mill for pepper?
A: No, this is a dedicated salt mill. Pepper needs a mill with a mechanism suited to it, and mixing the two isn't recommended.
Q: Is it dishwasher safe?
A: No, never submerge the mill in water or put it in the dishwasher, as this will damage the internal grinding mechanism.
Q: What salt should I use?
A: Rock salt or dry, coarse sea salt work best. Avoid light finishing salts like Maldon or fleur de sel, which are too light and friable for a mill.
