The first thing I did when I received them was to wash the bases and charge the tops. There was already a charge on both vessels, but I went ahead to make sure they were fully charged. At this point I do not know how long the charge will last. Each grinder came with its own cord so you can charge both at the same time.
It’s a good idea to make sure the grinders are completely dry before filling them with salt and pepper. I decided to air dry mine for two full days, and I used a small, wireless blower — the same one I used to clean out my computer keyboard — to help aid in the process.
The next step was for me to decide how fine of a grind did I want for both the salt and the pepper. I used a paper towel and did multiple settings on the pepper to decide where I wanted to land for the daily use setting.
To test the salt, the paper towel wasn’t much help so I overlaid it with a piece of foil so I could see the salt granules.
It’s easy to change the settings from a range of fine to coarse at the bottom of the grinder, but at least now I know what the standard daily grind will be.
I don’t know if the light inside the grinder is necessary, but it’s a nice feature.
The plastic holder/caddy for the two grinders is a welcomed bonus because it catches any of the salt or pepper that comes off the base. It is easy to wash it, when needed. If you intend to put this on your dining table, the caddy keeps the table from getting salt and pepper on it when not in use.
