Did anyone else have a problem with the paint peeling on salt grinder? (after 8 months only)

no, I haven't had that happen yet on this set,but I have had it happen on others, especially in a higher humidy situation

No. The top nut, however, will no longer thread on mine so the unit is kaput. It's a bummer because it was good while it lasted, which was only one year...

I have had mine for 15 mos and have not had any paint peeling or any other problems with mine. Is there a guarantee on them?

I've had mine for 1.5yrsThis year I left it outside during the winter, its showing signs of surface rust. An easy fix. I plan to sand it down and spray it with Heat Resistant paint. I am happy with it.

no, but that's a good idea. I am storing salt in the one I bought and it seems to get some moisture in the jar. Let me know how it goes if u try it first.

Sad to say, but I had the same problem within 30 days of use. Also the middle started to peel. I threw away. So this I can recommend is a skillet made of ceramic, they can with stand high heat cooking. Good luck

I have never had a serious problem with the grinder such as yours, but I would assume if you contact the manufacturer they would replace your product.

I've had mine for a year and the paint has stayed pretty well in-tact. It's an awesome grill, perfect to cook over a fire with. We usually cook on aluminum foil to keep the grill a little cleaner.

I have owned my grinder since January 2014. I use it twice every day, at least 3 times a day on weekends. I have had no problems.Yours may be defective. Definitely call customer service and give them the opportunity to make it right.

We have no trouble with the salt either but the lid to the pepper is stripped so we had to put plastic wrap inside the lid to keep it shut.

Hi Faye, how widespread is the peeling? Also how many coats of clear coat did you apply? Is the paint exposed or do u have a clear coat left?

I have had mine for about a year now. It has been heavily used daily, and I am sad to say that the no matter how I adjust it, the adjuster for the pepper grind seems to have stopped working. Everything comes out very coarse now. The pepper corns are being ground too coarse to make this mill usable. I will have to replace it.

Yes, after less than 2 years, my grinder stopped grinding well, I couldn't fix it, and had to get rid of it. I was really mad.

I have been trouble by the rust as well.... I have had mine for about 6 months too, and use it constantly.... Any ideas would be helpful because I LOVE this thing!!!!

NO! Mine also started to make noise, paint coating on in-side peeling and the turn plate(Glass) will not stay on track. I give it 1 star.. I have had mine over 8 months.

maybe just the surface paint being burnt off. I never had that problem. Or maybe my taste buds have aged somewhat.

My Scanpan worked great for a year, but then the non-stick properties gradually deteriorated. I followed the manufacturers directions, never put in in the dishwasher, lightly coated it with olive oil after each use --- all to no avail. I eventually tossed it in the recycle bin and bought DeBuyer mineral B element pans. I've been well pleased with the DeBuyer pans, after seasoning. I did have to re-season one of the pans once, after making an acidic tomato sauce, but after reasoning it's as good as new.

I have not had any problems with mine. I clean it every once in a while with light dish soap, but that is all!

I've had mine since the 1990's along with a wonderful matching salt shaker (with adjustable holes for the salt to come out in fine, coarse and pour - it is no longer available, way too bad!). The set has been used daily and is totally reliable and fun to use. Unfortunately, I set the pepper mill on top of a hot stove while the broiler was in use and it partially melted the handle. While it still works, I am here to buy a new one - and have noticed the design has changed in shape. I hope the quality is the same.
