Review Peugeot Reims 8-inch Stainless-Steel Pepper Mill / Peugeot PM11727:Employing the famed mechanism invented in 1842 by renowned French manufacturer Peugeot, this sleek, contemporary mill delivers a shower of freshly ground pepper when its top is twisted. As was true when Peugeot produced the world's first pepper mill, grooves in a Peugeot grinding mechanism are individually cut into steel, and the mechanism is then hardened, making it virtually indestructible and deserving of its lifetime warranty against defects.

Review Nambé Twist Max Salt and Pepper Set / Nambe 6275:An intriguing addition to the "Twist" collection, these shakers feature a winding helix shape in a modern, dynamic design. 5" Fred Bould's Twist Max shakers are sculpted works of art with a utilitarian purpose. Like his other creations, these matching salt and pepper shakers interweave his love of water, motion, and the spiraling helix shape. At five inches in height, the pair is taller and more angular than his shorter Twist shakers. The tops are square, with sides forming vertical planes that literally look as if they were twisted. Made of sand-cast and hand-polished metal, the salt and pepper shakers feel dynamic in the hand, impressively weighty, and will not tarnish, crack, or chip. Twist bowls, wine goblets, and other accessories may be combined with this gift-boxed set to accessorize a dramatic, modern table. When cleaning is necessary, the shakers may be washed by hand. Nambé was founded in 1951 in a village of the same name in scenic northern New Mexico. From the beginning, the company focused on hand-producing high-quality, functional items such as metal bowls and trays with great attention to timeless, modern design. [+]
Still made in the USA, Nambé's signature metal alloy is liquefied, poured into a hand-made sand cast, and the resulting piece repeatedly polished and smoothed by hand. Exceptional gifts for the most special of occasions, Nambé metal bowls and accessories are now joined by porcelain and crystal pieces, each flawlessly crafted. Nambé ware has won numerous design awards, has been shown in or recognized by nearly two dozen museums worldwide, and is part of the permanent collections of many, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York. -Ann Bieri.

Review Nambé Hug 6-Inch Salt and Pepper Set / Nambe 6283:Marked by distinctive flared shape, these metal salt and pepper shakers fit together like perfect puzzle pieces. 6" Aptly named Hug, these two hourglass-shaped shakers make a romantic pair. One features a crescent-moon cutout along its length that fully embraces the other, which has a perfectly round top and bottom. Both of the shakers stand six inches tall, are quite heavy, and are utterly compelling both individually and as a snug-together unit. The crescent top features three holes, the round top just one (black and white plastic plugs underneath may be used to specify pepper or salt). The Hug set is a creation of one of Nambé's most prolific and award-winning designers, Karim Rashid. The metal shakers will not chip or crack, and will maintain their mirror finish as long as they are washed by hand, never in a dishwasher.

Review Peugeot Tresses 8-Inch SS Pepper Mill / Peugeot PM19556:Peugeot peppermills are the choice of food professionals and discerning cooks around the world.

Often copied, but never equaled, the mechanism made of case hardened steel is designed to crack the peppercorns before the actual grinding process. The grooves on the Peugeot mechanism are individually cut into the metal and then case hardened, making them virtually indestructible. This sleek braided stainless steel pepper mill will create the sophistication desired to enhance your table settings in the home, on the patio, or on the boat. The mechanism is designed specifically for grinding whole peppercorns. The knob on the top enables you to adjust your grind preference and comes partially filled with peppercorns. 8 inches Tresses pepper and salt mills from Peugeot make dynamic gifts for the connoisseur of freshly ground pepper or salt. Brushed to a satiny finish, each 18/10 stainless-steel cylinder features a unique braided-metal body with smooth end caps. The nut on top unscrews for adding peppercorns and salt, and can be loosened or tightened to vary the coarseness of the grind. [+]
The top also displays either an S or P to differentiate the salt and pepper. The main difference between the two lies in the grinding mechanism. Peugeot pepper mills use case-hardened-steel grinding heads with two sizes of grooves; the larger grooves crack the peppercorns in half and direct them into the smaller grooves, which grind them much more finely and evenly than most mills. The grinding mechanism in Peugeot salt mills is purposefully constructed with 18/10 stainless-steel, which won't corrode from prolonged contact with the salt. Tresses mills are available only in an eight-inch height. Care for a Peugeot mill is easy: clean the exterior and inner chamber with a damp cloth; never immerse in water; avoid putting salt in the pepper mill, or grinding green or pink peppercorns by themselves (mixed with black is fine); and avoid damp types of salt (usually pink or gray) in the regular salt mill. Made in France, Peugeot mills are covered by a two-year replacement policy, while the grinding mechanism is covered by a lifetime warranty. Peugeot has been a leading manufacturer of pepper mills since the 1840s, and is a brand preferred by many restaurants and chefs. -Ann Bieri.
