I use iodized sea salt, which is coarser than most salt you buy. Will either of the shakers work with that?

Yes, actually I think that might be a better choice anyway. With regular table salt/pepper this shaker tends to pour on the heavy side.

I believe all salt contains some iodine, but iodine is not "added" to this salt like in regular table salt.

hi-- regular salt has an additive for better flow. also,usually has iodine, both of which will cloud the liquid. iodine is also not good for fermenting pickles, as it is an anti-microbal (you want the good probiotics to thrive). you don't have to use "pickling salt" per se: kosher, pure salt and sea salt with no additives are fine. an excellent book is "the joy of pickling" by linda ziedrich.

Not sure, but we use very coarse sea salt crystals and have never had a problem.

I do not recommend this item. I bought it for "chunky" salt and it didn't seem to work very well.

first of all, I am not the person who sold you the salt. I am a customer who bought the hima.salt. I think your question could be ans. if you did a search on the salt. "Does hima. salt have iodine in it. It's bring you to a search ingine. Then choose the one with the "health rangeer" This is a rep. site with value educational info. I'm sure you can ans. your own question there,hope this helps

Would not recommend as shakers are designed for dry ingredients. Parmesan cheese which is dry would work.

I use mine in a regular shaker and add a little rice to it help with the moisture and helps it to shake out easier. I doesn't shake out quite as easily as regular table salt, but the rice in it helps a LOT.

Yes, you can use salt but not stone salt or wet sea salt. All of their pepper mills are compatible with salt.

It is a very nice shaker but the holes are way to big for that kind of salt. Maybe you could put tape over the holes on the back and only leave a couple open.

They are both sea salts, I use the flakes. I use the little bamboo salt box and just get a pinch out as needed.

The more coarse the better. I buy mine at a local kitchen store. You don't get the same benefits with salt as you do with pepper. Grinding the pepper releases the oils and enhances the flavor. Not so with salt. There is no benefit except you can adjust the size of the salt you want. Besides, its cool to have the set!

You grinder should be able to grind your salt but it's tough to grind...I have my husband do it for me. :)

I use the coarse salt in my grinder with no problems. I also use it unground sometimes, like on a slow-roasted pork shoulder wrapped in banana leaves (kaluah pig).

I think it is not recommended, but I've used salt in mine several times with no problems.

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.

It can work with regular salt but doesn't really grind that much finer. Works best with sea salt and or kosher salt!
