Crushgrind Lyon Salt & Pepper Set Beech 10cm
- In stock, ready to ship
- Inventory on the way
- Free Mainland UK delivery over £49 - No Quibble Returns
The Lyon set pairs two compact 10cm beech wood mills, one for salt and one for pepper, engraved S and P so they never get muddled. Inside is Crushgrind's ceramic mechanism, which also copes with whole dried spices, and the shape takes its cue from French bistro mills with a cleaner Nordic look. They are small enough to sit comfortably on the table.
- A mill for each job: One salt mill and one pepper mill, engraved S and P so they are easy to tell apart.
- Ceramic grinding mechanism: Suitable for salt as well as pepper, and designed to grind whole dried spices too.
- Adjustable grind: Turn clockwise for a finer grind and anticlockwise for a coarser one.
- 25-year guarantee: Crushgrind guarantees the ceramic parts for 25 years.
- Easy to fill, light to hold: Simple to refill and comfortable to pass around the table.
What Customers Ask About This Product
Can I put them in the dishwasher?
No, they are not dishwasher safe. Keep them somewhere dry and wipe the outside clean rather than washing them.
Which salt should I use?
Rock salt and dry coarse sea salt work well, and Crushgrind's ceramic mechanism also copes with wetter sea salts. Light finishing salts such as Maldon or fleur de sel are too flaky for a mill, so sprinkle those over food by hand.
Can I use them over a steaming pot?
We would keep them for the table. Steam cakes salt onto the mechanism and moisture can damage pepper mechanisms over time, so for cooking a salt pig or a jar of Guérande sea salt works better.
Can I grind other spices in them?
Yes, the mechanism is designed to grind whole dried spices. We would still give each mill its own job, salt in one and pepper or spices in the other, to stop flavours carrying over.
In our experience...
Choose the mechanism first. The wood, acrylic or steel on the outside makes no difference to how a mill performs. What matters is what is inside, and for salt that should be ceramic.
Salt needs ceramic. Salt corrodes metal mechanisms, stainless steel included, and a seized mill can't be repaired. Ceramic is completely non-reactive, so it is the safe choice for a salt mill.
Check the setting before you grind. Give the top a quarter turn first, as someone else may have changed the grind. Tighten for finer, loosen for coarser.
Never use pink peppercorns on their own. They are too soft to crack properly, so very little comes out, and that isn't the mill's fault. Mix them with harder black, white or green peppercorns.

Care & Use Instructions
Adjusting the grind: Turn the top clockwise for a finer grind and anticlockwise for a coarser one. Give it a quarter turn before use to check the setting.
Cleaning: Not dishwasher safe. Wipe the outside clean with a cloth and keep the mills dry.
Changing spices: To switch to a different spice, grind some coarse salt through the mill. This clears residue from the ceramic parts.
Storage: Store somewhere dry. In a very humid kitchen, wipe them dry after use and keep them in a cupboard rather than beside the hob, and never use them over a steaming pot.
