How to use

Fill the pepper mill with whole peppercorns by removing the top or designated filler cap according to the mill's assembly. Adjust the grind setting if the mill offers a fineness control; test by grinding a small amount and readjust to the desired coarseness. Hold the mill firmly and rotate the top or body as designed to produce freshly ground pepper. Refill when the hopper is low and periodically check the grinding mechanism for trapped debris or damaged peppercorn fragments. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and avoid immersing the mill in water to protect the mechanical parts and finish.

Usage recommendations

For best results use whole, dry peppercorns and adjust the grind setting to suit the dish: finer for sauces and delicate foods, coarser for steaks and rustic dishes. Store the pepper mill in a dry place away from direct heat or humidity to preserve both the finish and grinding performance.
