Does the salt and pepper come out of the same opeing when grinding?

Maybe. It's interesting that we see Yes and No answers. The technical answer is No but the "openings" are so close together that from a practical standpoint the answer is Yes. Bottomline: this is a great product that works great. Buy it.

No, salt and pepper grinders are not interchangeable, they have different grinding mechanisms. The mechanism in a pepper grinders are made of some kind of metal, but salt corrodes metal, so the mechanism in salt grinders are ceramic. However, this same company sells a pepper grinder in the exact same style that is also available on Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Kamenstein-5-Inch-Glass-Grinder-Peppercorns/dp/B003XQG7FU/ref=pd_bxgy_k_img_y

No. There are rather large holes in the lid. I used Scotch tape on the inside of the lid to close off most of the holes so I could use regular salt in one. The other has coarse ground black pepper in it and does very well. These are nice looking and durable. I'm satisfied

I'm not exactly sure which pictures you are looking at. I do see one with pepper (black) and salt (white). I believe they are identical, but one comes with pepper and one with salt.

I ordered the pepper mill and received the salt grinder. The company did not offer to send me the pepper mill. You may have the salt grinder if the top is the only thing that comes off (where you fill it.) I already have a pepper mill and I love it. I was buying it for a friend. Try to order it from another company.

Not to worry! It is not a salt "grinder". It is a salt "shaker". It is advised that you use Sea Salt only.

I think they are just alike. I have both. Can't say I ever tried to see if the pepper mill would grind salt. They work the same. Honestly I hardly ever use the salt mill. It looks nice sitting with the pepper mill. They hold a lot so I do not have to refill that often.

The salt mill does, I assume because salt is corrosive, but not the pepper mill does not. It is all metal. I've been quite happy with both the salt and the pepper mill.

There is not a grind adjustment. The pepper is fairly coarse, but I like it that way. The salt is an average grind. There is no cap on the bottom, so they do "leak" a bit.

The interior, though I didn't take it apart other than to remove the top to fill it, seems to be all metal. The opening at the top is where you put the peppercorns in. You unscrew the rounded nut on the very top, remove the handle then the plastic dome cover and pour in the peppercorns. It is heavy and well made. The plastic dome is simply to cover and keep peppercorns inside. It has nothing to do with the grinding. The grinder at the bottom is thick metal. The best grinder I have owned in 30 years.

They are separated. Turn to the left and you get pepper, turn to the right and you get salt. I use Celtic sea salt that I also bought from Amazon. I bought this salt/pepper mill several months ago and I'm very happy with it. We use it everyday and it's a good quality mill. I recommend it...

No, it is dry and coarse grain. It goes really well in the salt grinder I made.

I believe so. I received a set; one for salt and one for pepper. I didn't notice a difference between the two.

No, but once you have salt in one and pepper in the other it is very easy to tell them apart.

They may be the same type of grinding mechanisms, but they look different to me. The size of the "teeth" is smaller on the salt. I doubt they are interchangeable.

Hi - Yes, I would say you can grind those items. There is a little black nozzle at the top of the grinder which allows you to grind coarse or fine. Hope that helps. It's a great grinder and I am hoping to order a few more soon. I like to have them for different sorts of salts and peppers.

I used a battery operated grinder and it handled it just fine, until the grinder pooped out ... but then I used it a LOT. Then I just decided to buy the already ground stuff and I'm much happier. Either way it's quality salt, no additives, no difference in taste or flavor, and no grinding!
