Nutmeg is a seed, dense enough to survive being dropped on tile. Rock salt is crystal. Dried ginger is fibrous and stubborn. These are not herbs, and the teeth built for herbs are not built for them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Quarry is. Stainless steel throughout, with a mechanism made for material that fights back — the one in the range you reach for when what you are grinding is genuinely hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd stainless is not a detail here, it is the reason it works. Salt corrodes ordinary metals; that is why most grinders will not tell you to put rock salt anywhere near them. Stainless steel does not care. Grind salt on Monday and pepper on Tuesday, rinse it in between, and it stays exactly as it was.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy It Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pmg-desc__features\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pmg-desc__card\"\u003e\n\u003csvg viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\u003e\n        \u003cpath d=\"M12 2 4 5v6c0 5 3.4 9.4 8 11 4.6-1.6 8-6 8-11V5l-8-3Z\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003cpath d=\"m9 12 2 2 4-4\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\n      \u003c\/svg\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStainless Steel, Named\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot \"metal\" — stainless.
