HexClad Hexmill Grinder Set Review

About the HexClad Salt and Pepper Set

Best known for its revolutionary hybrid cookware, which strikes the perfect balance of performance and aesthetics, HexClad has expanded its product portfolio to include a salt and pepper grinder set that dishes out the same level of functionality and style. Featuring both the brand’s original HexMill Salt and Pepper Grinder Set and the brand’s newer HexMill Tabletop Grinder Set, this bestselling bundle has you covered in the kitchen as well as at the table. The set utilizes burr grinder technology, which uses two revolving abrasive surfaces to perfectly grind spices and salt into various coarseness levels with unparalleled speed and consistency.

HexClad HexMill Grinder Set: What’s Included

The HexMill Grinder Set bundles two of the brand’s bestselling duos:

The Original HexMill Grinder Set

• Nine inches; ideal for use in the kitchen when cooking
• Bottom caps allow you to pre-grind, then measure out your seasonings

The HexMill Tabletop Grinder Set with Caddy

• 4.45 inches; convenient for use at the table and makes for easy storage
• Comes with a black aluminum carrying caddy for transporting & reducing tabletop residue
  

Both salt grinders feature a gunmetal finish and ceramic components to prevent corrosion, and the pepper grinders have a luxe, classic black finish.

What is Burr Grinder Technology?

The HexClad grinders feature Burr grinder technology, which means they utilize two revolving surfaces with rows of “teeth” that crack and crush the salt crystals and peppercorn. Each grinder features 10 adjustable grind settings, from super-fine to coarse granules, enabling you to change the setting according to your needs. There are many benefits to Burr grinder technology. Aside from its ease of use and adjustability, it provides excellent consistency and speed—far superior than traditional blade grinders. Plus, grinding your own salt and pepper releases volatile oils that are no longer present in pre-ground spices, heightening their flavor.

HexClad Salt and Pepper Grinder Set Price

The HexClad Grinder Set is a premium product that is designed to last. It’s made of high quality materials, features the latest and most effective technology, and delivers exceptional performance with every use—and its price reflects that. At the time of this review, the set is priced at $329.99 (it is valued at nearly $380). While you may find cheaper options, this is a case in which you’ll get what you pay for—cheaper materials and poor construction. Given the quality and durability of the HexClad set, this is a very reasonable price. Plus, the brand occasionally runs promotions that will reduce the cost, so keep an eye on the HexClad website to take advantage of the latest deals.

HexClad Grinder Return Policy and Warranty 

HexClad’s grinder products come with a 30-day money back guarantee and carry a lifetime warranty against manufacturer’s defects, making them a risk-free investment in more delicious and more enjoyable cooking. Of course, the warranty does not cover damage that occurs as a result of improper use, so you’ll want to follow HexClad’s care and cleaning instructions closely.

HexClad Grinder Set Care & Cleaning 

Given that dried spices tend to form clumps when they get wet, you’ll want to avoid washing your HexMill grinders with water or other liquids. If cleaning becomes necessary, your best bet is to use a dry cloth and/or compressed air. To maximize the lifespan of your grinders, you’ll want to also refrain from doing the following:

• Putting them in the dishwasher
• Exposing any internal components to water or cleaning chemicals
• Disassembling the internal components 
• Putting substances other than salt crystals and peppercorns in their respective grinders
