Product Information
Full details
The Le Creuset Classic Salt Mill in Forêt is designed for home cooks and entertainers who value both culinary precision and table aesthetics. Its primary benefit is the durable, corrosion-resistant hardened ceramic grinding mechanism that offers reliable performance for years, though users should note that the mill is specifically designed for dry salt crystals and may clog if used with moist sea salt.

FAQs
Can I use this mill for peppercorns?
No, this mill is specifically engineered for salt. Using peppercorns may damage the ceramic grinding mechanism.
How do I change the grind setting?
Turn the gold-tone knob on top of the mill. Tightening the knob produces a finer grind, while loosening it results in a coarser texture.
Is the salt mill dishwasher safe?
No, you should hand wash the unit using a soft, damp cloth to preserve the finish and the integrity of the internal mechanism.
What type of salt should I use?
Use high-quality, dry salt crystals. Avoid moist sea salts, as the moisture can lead to clogging or corrosion within the grinding mechanism.
Does the gold knob tarnish over time?
With proper care, such as keeping it dry and avoiding harsh chemicals, the finish will remain vibrant. Always wipe it clean with a soft cloth.
Troubleshooting
Salt is not coming out
Ensure the top knob is not tightened completely closed. Loosen the knob slightly to allow space for the crystals to pass through.
Grinding feels stuck or blocked
Check that you are not using moist sea salt. If the salt is damp, empty the reservoir and allow the mechanism to dry completely before refilling with dry salt.
Grind consistency is inconsistent
Ensure the top knob is securely in place and that the internal grinding teeth are free from debris by shaking the mill lightly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To fill the mill, simply unscrew the top gold-tone knob and remove the cap to access the reservoir. Fill with dry salt crystals only; do not attempt to use peppercorns or moist sea salt, as this may damage the internal mechanism. For care, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to maintain the Forêt green finish. Avoid submerging the unit in water or putting it in the dishwasher, as excess moisture can damage the internal components and the exterior coating.
