OT: Salt & Pepper grinder recommendations

WE got some from Foxes spices..superb hard steel mechanism. Still going after 7 years..

Looks like they do cheap ones and good ones:

the grinding mechanism, as indicated on the swing tag. If you have a problem with mechanism and body of the mill within the 12 month guarantee period, you should return it to the retailer along with the original sales receipt as proof of purchase. If you have a problem with the mechanism outside the 12 month guarantee period, please return the mill to:

IIRC, back when I bought mine (still fine after 15 to 20 years I guess) they mostly had a 10 year guarantee.

have a 12 month guarantee on the grinding mechanism and body.

these are IIRC rather good

And do herbs as well.

I bought mine probably twenty years ago, from Scotts of Stow, back when they sold useful stuff rather than the catalogue crammer crap they offer today.

Back then, Scotts offered a range of die cast (?) metal kitchen accessories, from salt and pepper pots to chalk boards, kitchen roll holders, mug trees etc. All by the same designer, all built to last a lifetime.

The salt and pepper pots have been in regular use since then, and work as well today as when first bought, but that is of little help to you, as such useful devices seemed to disappear from the Scotts catalogue years ago :-(

I've got a C&M beech pepper mill, had 'for ever' -at least 20 years I guess. Still going fine.

However it did have matching salt one which corroded and broke sometime ago IIRC. We never really put salt on cooked food (except chips) so not bothered about getting another one.

I agree that the T&G Crushgrind are quite decent - and available in a wide variety of styles. Some relatively cheap.

If I were going top end, I think I'd get Peugeot.

Several here:

Aldi do plastic full salt and pepper grinders. They are cost peanuts and the stuff inside tastes fine.

Ceramic grinder, made by Peugeot

(No idea if they also make bikes or cars)

Aldi have some ceramic grinders at the moment. About 7 quid I think but they are massive things.

Mine are from £shop.

Tesco do a disposable pepper mill - not used it myself, but only marginally more expensive than the contents alone.

Not showing here, was it perhaps somewhere else or just expired?
