Wooden Salt & Pepper Grinder Set

A pair of wooden grinders for salt and pepper, in three heights. Pre-ground pepper loses its aromatics within weeks of being milled — most of what makes pepper taste of anything is volatile and gone by the time the tin is opened. Grinding at the table is the whole difference.

Three sizes, from a five-inch pair that sits on a small table to a ten-inch pair with presence on a dresser or a counter. Wood rather than acrylic, so they read as part of the table rather than as equipment.

Why you'll love it

• Ground fresh — pepper keeps its aromatics until the moment you use it.
• Three heights — 5, 8 or 10 inch.
• Wooden bodies — warmer than acrylic or steel on a laid table.
• A matched pair — salt and pepper together.

Details

• Material: wood
• Heights: 5 in, 8 in, 10 in
• Ideal for: peppercorns and coarse salt

Use coarse rock salt rather than fine table salt — fine salt packs and clogs the mechanism, and damp salt will seize it entirely.
