I scored the same deal a few years back, a pair of the Peugeot clear grinders. Put some peppercorns in them, and I can't get them to work at all. They look brand new, but no matter how tight or loose I set them they won't actually grind anything. Drives me nuts, my cheap little grinder I've been using for years works great with the same fill.

Could it be that you have a salt grinder and using it for pepper? They have different mechanics.

Could be, I need to take a better look at them. I figured they were for pepper since they didn't really say anything regarding the metal being stainless, and they're definitely not porcelain or anything that wouldn't rust from the salt.

The bottoms (actual grinder) are very different from each other, so you can probably find a reference.

You're right, they're both for salt. Oh well, time to actually buy some rock salt, we've always used a shaker sparingly.

If you can't find rock salt easily at your local supermarket, you can just buy one of the pre filled pink salt grinders and empty it into your nice grinder.

Some peppercorns are simply too big for the Peugeot grinder I had that issue once :/
