meet the mills

i've been searching high and low for a good salt and pepper mill.
Good = one that grinds well for a long long time, which comes with a lifetime warranty on the grinder mechanism. (although if something does happen to it, i wonder if it would be easier to just a get a new one)
Also, one with a knob which I can twist with great ease, specifically the "water tap" design.
Voila! here they are now, the Mill couple who now resides next to Mr. Salad Spinner, the bachelour.


mr.pepper mill & mrs. salt mill

Brings out the flavour in your meals, grind them over your curry at the dinner table and your mateys will think you know what you are doing and subconsciously the curry you made seem to taste better than their mother's - it's all about perception, really, you get to ask your mates when they're over for a dinner partee "would you like some pepper?" just like that mr.oh-i'm-so-cool-waiter, friends will enjoy playing with it, make your buddies sneeze, grind salt over that bad snail and watch it bubble...

what are you waiting for?

Some tips on caring for your mills
(http://fantes.com/pepper_salt_mills.htm)

1. For freshness, use pepper a lot and it won't go stale. If you don't use a lot, only keep a small amount in your pepper mill, check it and replace it frequently. Store fresh peppercorns in an airtight container, away from direct sunlight.
2. Clean the mechanism with a small brush, and wipe the body of the mill with rubbing alcohol or window cleaner. Unless the instructions specifically allow it, never place your pepper mill in water.
3. Adjust the grind to make it coarser by turning the model's appropriate screw or mechanism. To make it finer, it works best when you remove peppercorns from the mechanism.
4. Never put salt in a pepper mill, unless the manufacturer's instructions state otherwise. Salt is highly corrosive, and it can easily corrode steel mechanisms.
5. Never put moist salts in salt mills, or they will clog.
   And never grind pink or green peppercorns without adding black or white peppercorns, to prevent clogging of the mechanism.
