Le Creuset Salt Mill Cerise

Somehow, any glass salt grinders would get broken, so I opted for something I thought would give a nice even grind and survive being dropped. There's a reason they sell covers for the bottoms of these. What a mess!!! Salt, especially , everywhere!!! I'm not going to fuss with covers. I got a little tray that I periodically empty into soup. They've survived the inevitable dropping, but absolutely not worth the price.

-- SALT / PEPPER LIFE ESSENTIALS

Just the little things which matter. Mine is a simple life where an elegant item or two such as LE CREUSET salt / pepper grinders are wonderful possessions.They last a lifetime, so when you depart from life and someone clears away your things, they will come across such a keepsake and remember you for the rest of their lives.

Dissappointed

I purchased both the Salt and Pepper Mill this time last year. As per my my review at the time ('mixed feelings') my concern regarding the Salt Mill has been realised. For whatever reason, the pepper Mill received was of far superior build quality than the salt mill that was supplied. A year down the line and now the salt mill is rendered useless. The internal screw which connects to the cap on the top of the mill has stripped. I now have a R500 'Le Creuset' branded paper weight.What concerns me more though, particularly considering the brands' status and quality that they wish to perceive, is that no representative from Le Creuset, at time of my previous review, attempted to make contact with me so as to deal with my complaint. Well here's hoping a year down the ... MoreI purchased both the Salt and Pepper Mill this time last year.

Not adjustable.

I recently returned a cheaper version because the grinders only had one setting - salt & pepper dust. So when I saw this set advertised as adjustable, I gladly paid the extra money. I am bitterly disappointed that these are also NOT ADJUSTABLE.The grinding result is one up from powder, but still, don't expect coarse salt or pepper from these. Coming from such a reputable brand on which I've spent a fortune over decades, I find it shocking and I do not recommend these if you like a coarse grind.

Not as expected

They feel quite cheap in quality for the price I would not have expected this. Not up to the usual quality of the brand which is disappointing! They look very smart on the table and the pair match really well, but I have little confidence in the longevity of them. I will keep my receipt safe!

Pepper mill in blue

The Salt Mill in Blue Pepper Grinder is a stylish and functional kitchen tool. Its vibrant blue finish adds a pop of color to any kitchen, while the grinding mechanism works smoothly, delivering perfectly ground pepper or salt. A great addition to your cooking essentials with a touch of elegance.

Plasticy and cracked

The neck of it had a hairline crack.I purchased this when I worked at Myer in homewares as I was taught it was the best available. ( Since resigned and relocated to another area)I had it for maybe 3 years and noticed a crack at the top where it screws onto the head.I took it back to another Myer store and because I couldn’t show proof of purchase they wouldn’t replace. The Myer One App receipt trail only goes back 2 years🙄 but product is covered for 10 years.Pretty disappointing really.

Salt and Pepper Mills and Spoon Rest

Love the color. Can’t recall the name but it is the lighter green. Spoon rest is nice and more user friendly then the one I had. This spoon rest is flat so it’s a good design as far as ease of use. The mills are a totally different story. Again love the green color but DOES NOT grind pepper worth a darn. Look nice as a decoration next to my stove. Wanted to return them but get this….take a picture of the problem….. how do you take a picture and send to them to show what the issue is ???? Does not grind peppercorns!! You figure out what the issue is as a picture will show nothing!!! Do not buy the mills.. The salt mill gives very, very fine dust so not what I wanted either.Two stars only because I like the color and the spoon rest is useful.

Salt n pepper mill

Hi I bought this pepper mill along with the salt mill for my daughter, as she had heard me praise your products so much over the years. So of course I only felt it right to get her a set, they grind perfect each use, they look stylish and feel really nice to use. Definitely recommend them, she’s now bought cups cooking dishes and other items herself, I absolutely love your products and so does she thank you so much for making such great quality cookware.

Too small capacity, but works ok with a screw driver

I bought this thinking it was ceramic and was immediately disappointed, then I filled it and the salt came out completely fine, I tried adjusting it and couldn't get it to work and read another comment that you had to cut out the bar at the bottom. That luckily isn't necessary. You just need to loosen the screws at the bottom about 5 turns (they are rather long) and pull the gaurd put a little this allows the grinder to come down more, then loosen the top screw with the S or P on top to adjust the coarseness. It works fine now! All that considered I'd be happy with the dumb plastic, because they work and they are pretty BUT the capacity it extremely small, the tube doesn't expand into the wide part, making me extremely disappointed in the overall over priced ... MoreI bought this thinking it was ceramic and was immediately disappointed, then I filled it and the salt came out completely fine, I tried adjusting it and couldn't get it to work and read another comment that you had to cut out the bar at the bottom.
