Salt and pepper

Salt & pepper are the most basic spices in Danish cuisine. You can hardly make a dish without adding at least salt. Just think about cooking pasta, potatoes or rice – theyy need salt, too. When you are in the kitchen, salt and pepper are  indispensable, so it is worth buying a mill set of good, durable quality. With the elegant and functional mill sets from Rosendahl.com, you always have freshly ground salt and pepper on hand. Therefore, explore our range, where you will find a selection that can be used both for cooking and on the dinner table when you have guests. Whether you choose sets made of wood or glass, they will look great here.

How to choose the best salt & pepper mill

When choosing the right salt & pepper mill set, you’ll discover a wealth of options. First and foremost, you can buy ordinary fine salt and powdered pepper, so you need to find out whether you want to go for it or a grinder to enhance the taste experience. If you choose the grinder, it is important that it is ergonomic to hold. You will often use it during cooking when things need to be done a bit fast. Just imagine that you are making a delicious stew. In a saucepan to the side, the rice is simmering and needs to be taken off the heat now. You hurry to taste the dish, and it needs a little pepper, so you reach for the pepper mill, which is next to the stove. It just doesn't work if the grinder is unhandy or hard to turn. It should be nice to hold and sit well in your hand. The material is another important factor to consider. Should your mill set be made of glass, wood, ceramic or steel? Most materials can have pros and cons, so in the end it is all about personal preference.

Then you need to decide on the design. Perhaps you already have a favourite brand to collect, so you want to find a grinder set from the same brand. Most importantly, however, is that the set have a functional and attractive design that is a pleasure to look at. A salt-and-pepper set can easily last a lifetime, and you use it every day. That’s why the design means a lot. Functionality is also worth considering before the purchase. For example, many salt and pepper mills have the mill at the bottom. This means, however, that they leave residual salt and pepper on the table. That is why you might want to buy a set where the mill sits at the top – just like Rosendahl’s Grand Cru mill set. If you want to save energy, you can also choose salt and pepper mills in an electric model. However, they do not have as long a lifetime as manual mills, as battery and motor will not last as long. On this page you will find the classic manual mill sets. It may take a little more arm power to get salt & pepper out, but on the other hand you decide the amount and don't have to worry about changing batteries. 

One for the stove and one for the table

Most spices are used during cooking. Oregano, paprika, basil and curry powder are all added to the food before it leaves the hob. As a rule, salt and pepper do, but exactly how much salt and pepper you need to add to your food after it has been served is an individual matter and may vary greatly from person to person.

When setting the table, you need a lot of things – plates, glasses, cutlery and of course the food. But maybe you prefer your salt-and-pepper set to have a fixed place next to the stove. For this reason, many people choose to have two sets – one for the kitchen and one for the dinner table. This could be a set for whole peppercorns and coarse salt, or a set for finely groun d pepper and salt. You can explore our selection and find different mill sets and salt and pepper cellars. Maybe you can have one of each on hand? Have a look and see what you want.  

Salt & pepper in cooking

Nowadays, salt and pepper are part of all kitchens, and many take them for granted. However, the effect of freshly ground pepper in particular should not be underestimated. Pepper brings many flavours to the food and gives it a good strength and sharpness that you can't get with other spices. In the Middle Ages, pepper was a very valuable spice that was as expensive as gold. From there comes the expression that something is 'peppery'. While pepper binds all the flavours together, salt acts as a flavour enhancer and is therefore used to enhance the natural flavours of the ingredients. While fine salt is excellent for use in the cooking water, pepper and salt just taste better when ground.

Glass salt & pepper mills

On this page you will find the well-known salt and pepper mills in glass, which have a classic and stylish look. Glass jars allow you to easily see through and keep an eye on when it’s time to add new salt and pepper. Our glass models are practical to use, and unlike many other mill sets, you will find the mill at the top so that no remains of salt and pepper are left on the table. If you’re tired of sprinkled salt and pepper on the dining table or in the kitchen, you’ll appreciate this detail. This is also an advantage when you can set the mill to grind finely or coarsely, which gives you more control over your cooking. A clear advantage of glass mill sets is that you can also wash them in the dishwasher.

Salt & pepper mills in wood

Yo will also find wooden mill sets with a different look than glass. Wood adds an organic, natural Scandinavian design to the table. As a rule, wooden mills are comfortable to operate, as the wood sits well in the hand. Take a look on this page and find grinding sets that you can combine with the rest of your interior. Our products are made in series with specific characteristics, so you can find a mill set that matches your dinnerware, glasses and serving bowls and dishes. Our wooden mill set can be used for salt and pepper, and the ceramic grinder is placed at the top, so you avoid salt and pepper on the kitchen table. Like the glass sets, they can also be adjusted to different fineness, so you get exactly what you need. You will find that they sit well in the hand and their shape creates a good grip. The mills can be used both for cooking and on the party table, where they will create a beautiful contrast to white porcelain. With an elegant and functional wooden salt mill and pepper mill, you can always get freshly ground salt and pepper for your food.
