How Commercial Salt, Pepper & Spice Mills Work
The magic behind these culinary tools is brilliantly simple. Most professional mills use a hardened steel or ceramic grinding mechanism with two burrs—one fixed, one rotating. When you twist the mill, these burrs rotate against each other, crushing spices between them to your desired consistency. The adjustment knob typically sits on top or bottom, letting you dial in anything from powdery fine to rustic coarse. Electric models use small motors instead of hand power, maintaining consistent grind size even during busy service. The hard-wearing internal mechanisms are designed specifically for commercial kitchens—handling hundreds of twists daily without wearing down!

Top Tips for Using Commercial Salt, Pepper & Spice Mills
Keep your mills performing at their best by cleaning them regularly with a dry cloth—never submerge in water. For electric models, protect battery compartments from moisture during cleaning. When filling pepper mills, use whole peppercorns rather than cracked pepper for the freshest flavor. Store mills upright to prevent spice dust escaping, and remember to adjust the grind setting gradually rather than forcing it to avoid damaging the mechanism. Finally, pair salt mills with high-quality sea salt for the best taste experience.
