VIC FIRTH^®  GOURMET MILLS

All Vic Firth® Gourmet wood products are handcrafted in Maine & carry a lifetime guarantee.

• Vic Firth® Gourmet Mills are made from the finest American hardwoods and are available in a range of natural, stained and high-gloss finishes. All styles are shown at: http://www.vicfirthgourmet.com.
   
• The majority of the wood used is purchased from a local FSC certified supplier and we encourage all of our suppliers to participate in this program.  All of the scrap wood and sawdust are used as fuel to heat our factory.
   
• Available in a variety of styles, sizes and finishes, Vic Firth restaurant cooking supplies complement any kitchen décor and table setting. Just as important, Vic Firth mills, shakers and rolling pins are thoughtfully designed, meticulously crafted tools built to deliver a lifetime of service to both professional and home chefs.

Pepper & Salt Mills

• The difference between the salt and pepper mills is the mechanism.
   
• Pepper mills have a stainless steel mechanism as you are grinding pepper.
   
• Salt mills have a nylon mechanism as you are crushing salt to deliver variable granularity for salt; if salt gets any moisture it will stick together and it won't stick to the nylon.

4” Sierra Mills

• Sleek contemporary design, which is perfect for white tablecloth restaurants.
   
• Available in either pepper or salt mills.
   
• Made with American hardwood, specify mahogany stain, black stain or maple.

6” Columbia Mills

• Tired of pepper dust on your tables? The Columbia series mills offer the perfect solution.
• Also called the "Upside Down" mill, designed to be stored on it's top, so when you set the mill down the mechanism doesn't leave any pepper dust or salt crystals.
• Made with American hardwood, specify mahogany stain, black stain or maple.

12” Mario Batali Signature Series & 17” Newport Natural Wood Mills

• Mario Batali, one of the country’s top chefs, has partnered with Vic Firth Gourmet on the design of the stylish “Mario” Signature Series of peppermills and salt mills. The 12” Mario Batali Signature peppermill and salt mill are in stock in rock maple with black stain and cherry wood, 17” Newport in mahogany.

• Exacting chefs want and need complete control over the seasoning of their dishes — and Vic Firth® Gourmet Mills give them precise control through a patented “Lock and Grind” grinding system. This unique mechanism ensures perfect consistency – whether fine grinds for fish, medium grinds for gravies or coarse grinds for meats.
   
• Grinding is performed in a two-step process:
  
  • First, the peppercorns are crushed to release their natural oils and flavors.
     
  • Next, they are ground to the chosen consistency for perfect results every time.

Cleaning Your Vic Firth® Gourmet Mill

• Unscrew the top nut and remove the top. Empty any remaining salt or pepper.
   
• Turn the mill upside down and pop out the rod by tapping it firmly against a hard surface.
   
• Clean the mill with a dry brush or cloth (683436 5/8” x 8¾” brush)
   
• Push the rod back in from the bottom, making sure it goes through the grinder ring until it pops into place.
   
• Fill the mill with salt or pepper.
   
• Put the top back on: MAKE SURE THAT THE METAL KEY CLICKS IN ON THE ROD.
   
• Screw on top nut while pushing up on the rod so it is flush with the bottom of the grinding mechanism.
   
• The tighter the nut, the finer the grind.
