Le CreusetSilicone Mill Caps, 2 1/2", Flame

I use these Le Creuset caps under my Cole & Mason salt and pepper mills. They are not designed for C&M, but do a great job of catching any salt or pepper that would otherwise end up on the counter/table. Easily cleaned with warm soapy water.

These work Great with the le creuset salt and pepper mills! I needed them before the grinders on the mills face down and would leave a mess but my counter is clean and the caps keep the mess hidden and away. The material is nice and sturdy and it fits nice and snug. No falling off or accidentally messes. Would highly recommend!!

I suspect many owners of Le Creuset pepper and salt mills have chafed at the idea of spending more money buying these silly rubber caps, which really should have been included as part of the mills. I resisted buying them for a few years, out of sheer consumer indignation, and also because they did not came in colors that matched my out-of-print mill colors (this was a particular source of irritation). Lacking the caps, I set the mills on little ceramic saucers to catch the pepper dust. It's much better, however, to have a perfectly-fitted silicon cap. I am very pleased with what arrived in the mail, as the caps were thicker and sturdier than I expected, and fitted the 8" mills perfectly - they don't fall off, but peel off easily when you are ready to use the mill. They're easy to wash. If you are irritated that they don't come in the "right" colors, try finding the closest match, or even a contrast color, to brighten up your set. It doesn't look bad. Of all the colors, I think black and white caps would be very dull, unless you are matching a black and white mill set. I got Marseille blue and it's a nice rich blue tone. Good luck. By the way, the salt mills have ceramic grinders, and have worked perfectly for me for grinding pepper.

This is an item that turns out to be the best thing I didn’t even know I needed !! Keeps counter clean, discrete looking and easy to use.

Anyone who owns the Le Creuset salt and pepper grinders, knows that they leak/drop excess salt and pepper, after you stop using them and place them down. The salt grinders seems to be much worse than the pepper, but either usually leaves a residue of salt or pepper over the counter or tray that the grinders live on.These stoppers do exactly what you want, and contain the mess. I'd give them five stars, except I had to use a different color to my grinders. Soleil has been discontinued as a color, and these are a new product, so I had to match to the new Oyster color that I've brought into my collection. I wish Le Creuset would cycle back with retired colors.

These particular ones I bought for a family friend. She came to visit and had the salt and pepper mills but not the caps. She saw I had the caps and mentioned she wished she had them and didn't even know you could get these. My old mills use to leave salt and pepper trails. Not now. And the price is perfect!

These are perfect to ensure that you don’t have all the powdery residue. It’s definitely a must. Wish they made it for the smaller grinders too!

I love these, I really really do. No more continuously cleaning up the mess my Le Creuset salt and pepper grinders were leaving behind. Such a simple fix, I wish I had found these sooner!
