Title: Not for kitchen use
Product review: I searched long and hard for "just right" pepper and salt mills, looking in both retail stores and on the Internet. I wanted beauty and function. When I saw these made of cherry I was so thrilled.When they arrived they were beautiful but small. That was okay. But my heart sank when I tried using them...especially the pepper mill. It only works well when you use the largest grate which creates huge granules of pepper...the finer settings require many turns to get tiny portions of tiny flakes. I tried the large grate setting on the pepper mill when preparing a chicken dish and the size of the grains made the dish a failure. My husband, who usually loves pepper and hot food, even complained.The salt mill pumps out salt quickly with large flakes. I am a salt lover so I have to go easy with this guy.I'll keep them for special occasions, and will warn guests when they are used, but now I'll have to search for a good pepper mill for cooking and kitchen use.
