- Use only dry rock salts (white, pink or blue) 4mm or smaller in salt mill; do not use wet sea salt, even dried.
- Use only black, white or mixed peppercorns in pepper mill; not suitable for green or pink peppercorns.
- Do not use Peugeot salt mill for grinding damp sea salt, also known as grey salt, (Guérande, Ré, etc.). High moisture content will corrode the mill.

Additional Information
- Dry Salt: Rock salt is found in the depths of the earth; it is a fossil salt that has accumulated over geological eras with the evaporation of the seas. Rock salt contains iron and potassium.
- Wet Sea Salt: The wet sea salt (as Guérande salt, Noirmoutier salt) is characterized by a consistency and a high humidity that do not allow grinding with a conventional salt mill. This salt is rich in magnesium and trace elements.
