CrushGrind Stockholm Salt & Pepper Grinder (Stainless) — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CrushGrind Stockholm Stainless Grinder?
The CrushGrind Stockholm Stainless Grinder is a sleek, modern salt and pepper mill made of stainless steel, built with CrushGrind’s patented ceramic grinding mechanism. It combines Danish design with functionality.
What are its key features and specifications?
• Material & design: Satin-finished stainless steel body, giving it an industrial yet elegant look.
• Grinding mechanism: Ceramic — rustproof and suitable for salt, pepper, and dried spices.
• No-spill design: It includes a sliding plate mechanism at the bottom to prevent spice residue from spilling onto surfaces.
• Refilling and adjustment: The top cap pulls off to refill spices, and the bottom plate acts as a coarseness adjuster.
• Warranty: 25-year guarantee on the ceramic mechanism.
• Size: Available in sizes such as 11 cm (~4.3 in) in many listings.
How do I use and maintain the stainless grinder?
1. Pull off the top cap and load whole peppercorns, salt crystals, or compatible dried spices.
2. Adjust the coarseness by twisting the bottom plate before grinding.
3. Turn the grinder to grind the spices; the no-spill plate opens during use and closes when done to keep surfaces clean.
4. To clean, unscrew the adjustment wheel, remove the ceramic cone, and gently brush or soak (if needed). Ensure all ceramic parts dry fully (24 h) before reassembling.
5. Wipe the stainless exterior with a damp cloth — avoid abrasive cleaners or soaking.
What are the advantages and limitations?
