Product Information
Full details
The Klevering Salt and Pepper Mills, a collaboration between Hal Haines and &k Amsterdam, are designed for those who appreciate artistic and functional tableware. These mills bring vibrant, expressive designs inspired by classic English breakfast settings to your dining table, combining Hal's unique ceramic artistry with modern materials. While they offer a striking aesthetic and a quality ceramic build, their primary caveat is the recommendation for hand washing only to preserve the artistic finish.

FAQs
Are these mills made of ceramic or dolomite?
These mills are made from dolomite, a material known for its hardness and smooth finish, which allows for vibrant artistic applications.
Can I put these in the dishwasher?
No, the mills are not dishwasher safe. They require hand washing with mild soap and water to protect the artistic finish.
What type of salt and pepper should I use?
They are suitable for whole peppercorns and coarse sea salt or kosher salt. Avoid very fine salts.
How do I refill the mills?
Typically, you unscrew the top or base of the mill to access the chamber for refilling with your chosen spices.
Are these sold as a set?
While the description mentions a collection and collaboration, specific product listings usually clarify if they are sold individually or as a pair of salt and pepper mills.
What are the dimensions of the mills?
The dimensions provided are approximately 6.4 x Ø 5.8 cm for one mill and 10 x Ø 5.3 cm for the other, indicating slightly different sizes within the set.
Are these suitable for outdoor use?
While they can be used outdoors, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and moisture is not recommended due to the artistic finish and dolomite material. It's best to bring them inside after use.
Troubleshooting
Grinder is stiff or not grinding effectively.
Ensure the mill is not overfilled. Check the grinder mechanism for any obstructions and clean if necessary. Ensure the top and base are screwed on correctly.
Paint or finish is chipping or peeling.
This indicates potential damage from harsh washing or impact. Avoid abrasive cleaners and refrain from using a dishwasher. Handle with care to prevent further damage.
Mill feels unstable or wobbly.
Check that the top and base are securely tightened. If the wobble persists, there may be an issue with the base of the mill, and it should be handled with extra care.
Salt or pepper is clumping inside.
Moisture can cause clumping. Ensure the salt and peppercorns are completely dry before filling. Consider adding a few grains of uncooked rice to absorb excess moisture, though this may slightly impede grinding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The mills come pre-assembled. To use, simply unscrew the top or base (depending on design) to fill with whole peppercorns or coarse salt. Ensure the grinder mechanism is clear before filling.
Compatibility: These mills are designed for standard peppercorns and coarse sea salt or kosher salt. Avoid using very fine salt, as it may not grind properly. Not suitable for other spices unless explicitly stated by the manufacturer.
Care Instructions:
- Hand Wash Only: Due to the artistic finish and dolomite material, these mills are not dishwasher safe. Wash them gently with warm water and mild soap.
- Drying: Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth after washing to prevent water spots and ensure longevity.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can damage the painted designs.
- Avoid Immersion: Do not soak the mills in water.
- Placement: Keep away from direct heat sources and prolonged direct sunlight to preserve color.
