What is the CrushGrind Stockholm Salt & Pepper Grinder (Walnut)?
The Walnut version of the CrushGrind Stockholm Grinder is a refined salt & pepper mill with an elegant walnut wood body, combining aesthetic appeal with CrushGrind’s well-known ceramic grinding mechanism.
What are the key features and specifications?
• Body: premium walnut wood, each unit featuring unique natural grain patterns.
• Internal mechanism: ceramic — resistant to corrosion, safe for salt, with smooth grinding action.
• Adjustable grind: allows settings from fine to coarse, making it suitable for multiple spice types.
• No-spill design: includes a sliding plate that opens only during grinding, helping keep surfaces clean.
• Top marking: typically “S” or “P” to show whether it's loaded with salt or pepper.
• Warranty: CrushGrind often backs its ceramic mechanism with a long-term guarantee (e.g. 25 years) depending on model.
How do I use and maintain the walnut grinder?
1. Remove the top cap or lid to load with whole spices (peppercorns, crystal salt, etc.).
2. Adjust the grind setting via the base knob or ring to achieve your desired coarseness.
3. Turn or operate the grinder to dispense the spice.
4. Use the no-spill slide to prevent residue from spilling when not in use.
5. Clean: take apart the ceramic mechanism, brush out residual particles, and if necessary soak the ceramic parts (not the wood) in warm water. Dry thoroughly before reassembling.
6. Wipe the walnut wood body with a damp cloth; avoid soaking or using harsh detergents. Keep it dry.
