Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of 3823-00 5 1/2" Bavaria Salt Mill
Customer Review: Get the pepper mill instead...
Summary: 3 Stars
Note:
The salt mill and the pepper mill are not the same. The salt mill has some sort of ceramic-looking grinder and does not grind as fine as the pepper mill (which is chrome). I like my salt and pepper powder fine, so I just bought two pepper mills and filled one with kosher salt. For that reason, I give this product a 3 star rating instead of 4.
Otherwise, the following is my review for the pepper mill...
I had a tough time finding salt and pepper mills that I liked because they fall into a strange gray area in kitchen devices. Most are either cheap-o plastic jobs that look... well, like cheap-o plastic jobs, or they're those 2 foot tall wooden chess piece lookin' things. I just wanted ones that looked nice, were normal sized for a dining table, and didn't require batteries.
This product fit the bill almost perfectly in every way.
Pros:
The mill looks great. The container is glassy instead of plasticy, and the brushed stainless top looks very nice.
The grinder is on the top instead of the bottom, and it has a metal cap to cover it. This means that the loose grinds don't fall out of the bottom and onto your otherwise clean table.
Contrary to the other review, the adjustable grider is perfect. Turn a little plastic knob on the grinder and you get powder fine grinds. At a more course setting you will of course get a mix of some fine and some course grinds, but that's pretty much how every grinder works.
Did I mention that this thing looks and feels great?
Cons:
The mill is just slightly too large for me. (It's about 2 times the size of a regular salt shaker you'd find at any given diner). It's not a big problem at all, but I would have liked it to be just a bit smaller.
As one review of the salt mill noted, the actual grinder doesn't look very attactive. The end of the screw that is the adjustment knob goes clear through the knob, so you see about an eighth of an inch of screw sticking out. Kinda weird since all they had to do was put the knob on the END of the screw and the whole thing would have been hidden. Again, this is not a make or break issue at all, and I only mention it for the purposes of full disclosure.
