Despite the fact that Peugeot of France didn’t begin manufacturing automobiles until 1890, they were founded 80 years before that when the Peugeot brothers took over the family mill in 1810, converting it into a steel production facility. Since that point in time they have manufactured all types of products besides the later introduced automobile. This includes penny farthing bicycles, saw blades, sewing machines, and other tools which is testament to the diversity of this company.
Today, they have also become the recognized name with their milling products (coffee, pepper, and salt mills) and their peppermills are no exception to that rule of recognition. The mechanism for grinding and milling originated in 1842 when one of the company’s head engineers designed a milling mechanism specifically designed to grind and mill peppercorns, not being suitable for grinding and milling spices.
Additionally, these peppermills are adjustable so that you can achieve cracked peppercorns as well as course or fine grind black pepper. So whether you are cooking up a delicate sauce or grilling a steak, these peppermills can produce the grind to suit your specific needs. Today, Peugeot of France peppermills are revered as being the best in the world and every one of them features a manufacturer’s lifetime warranty. Some of the world’s leading chefs use these peppermills and tout their consistent grinding capabilities.
About the quality of these peppermills
The company has always claimed that what separates Peugeot of France peppermills from all the others on the market is their mechanism. It is constructed from hardened steel which is extremely durable and provides better long term performance. Case hardening techniques and a tempering process are employed in the production of these peppermills making the grinding head as durable and as hard as any ball bearing.
Peugeot of France peppermill grinding mechanisms are still manufactured with two different sized grooves – one for channeling and one for grinding. The channeling grooves are the larger grooves and basically set the peppercorns up to be ground. The grinding grooves are smaller and actually perform the cracking and grinding process. Interestingly enough, the larger channeling grooves are still individually cut into the mechanism by hand, just as they have always been done since 1842.
Where the teeth of the Peugeot of France peppermill mechanism is concerned, the number of teeth on the grinding head differs from the amount found on the outer ring. The benefit to you is that you never have to worry about the peppermill “locking” up. This also enables producing a finer grind of pepper – a luxury that most other peppermills do not feature. Additionally, it will not grind any metal with your peppercorns, another major problem with other brands of peppermills.
Finally, Peugeot of France peppermills have the most durable mechanisms of all and a proven track record to back that up. As a result, the company provides you with a manufacturer’s lifetime warranty on the grinding mechanism of every one of their peppermills as well as other products.
