What matters when shipping salt and pepper mills

Mills are small and strong, but the wooden parts suffer from knocks, so wrap them in cloth and place them among clothes.

Grinder type and use

A ceramic mechanism works for both salt and pepper because it does not rust, while steel suits pepper only. Look for adjustable coarseness and a wide base if it will stay on the table. These are manual; for electric ones, check the battery or plug for your country.

Ceramic or stainless grinding

A ceramic mechanism does not rust and suits both salt and pepper, while stainless grinds pepper coarsely but can be affected by salt. Look for a coarseness adjustment knob and a wide base that stays on the table.

Wood or acrylic

Wood is lovely on the table but absorbs smells, while clear acrylic shows the grain level easily. Choose a size to suit your table, and for frequent use pick a mill with a wide filling opening.

Shipped empty

Mills ship empty and clean, so buy salt and pepper after receiving them. The ceramic mechanism is wrapped in cloth, and wooden ones are checked on arrival for cracks.
