history

Salt mills, sometimes referred to as salt grinders, are a common kitchen accessory designed to grind salt corns into a fine powder used to season foods. Many of us probably have a salt mill sitting in our kitchen right now!

The salt grinder was invented by Peugeot of France in 1842. Earlier versions of salt mills were based on a mortar and pestle design. The salt grinder allowed for a less labor intensive way to crack the salt corns. The salt grinder invented by Peugeot was constructed of metal and the individual grooves inside the casing were virtually indestructible.

Salt mills can be made from a variety of different materials including steel, zinc alloy, ceramic or even acrylic. Stainless steel models are durable and crack resistant making it an excellent choice for a device that requires a fair amount of continuous pressure. Stainless steel in the number one choice for professional chefs and home chefs alike. Zinc alloy is also a popular choice because of its ability to resist corrosion. Zinc alloy is a composite material made up of a mixture of chrome plating, zinc and assorted metals. Ceramic saltmills are popular because a chef can use them to grind multiple things. Salt, pepper and even coffee can be ground in a ceramic model. Another popular choice is acrylic. It is durable and cost effective.
