Is this suitable for grinding coarse salt into granules or does it grind to a powder?

when i grind pepper corns, i strive for "cracked pepper", but i always get a bit of "fine ground" even though i check the results after each pulse. that's to be expected with a blade type processor. i'm happy with the resulting "mix".

I only tried to grind salt once but when i did it turned out more like heavy powder than granules.

It is not a fine sea salt but I always use as is! I believe the company recommends drying it out before using it in a grinder if you want it finer. The info on that process is on their website I believe.

I only used it for grinding small amounts but I found it did a great job. It comes apart easy for cleaning and did not find it hard to clean.

It does not grind salt. Just the peppercorns. You just fill the salt part with regular granulated salt.

Yes, this grinder should be able to handle the course pink Himalayan salt. I use mine for sea salt and Alaea Red Hawaiian Salt.

I have used this grinder for both white sea salt and Himalayan Pink sea salt and it worked will for both. It creates a very fine powder. So I can only assume it would work will for smaller grains.

I would probably do that. I filled mine with salt from Vietnam, not oven-dried, and it was too soft for this grinder and kept getting stuck. I eventually mixed with sea salt before figuring out you need to oven dry.

I wouldn't recommend it, It's meant for medium rock salt, it has little holes on the bottom to take in the air when you use it, So I think with the fine salt it would then be a salt shaker instead of what it's intended for.It comes with a small bag of rock salt. use about half of it. it lasts for a few months...

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

It is granular. I put it in my blender or coffee grinder if I need it powdered.

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

I'd say that this could be used for salt (or pretty much any other spice). In case you consider it a better option (to complete the set), Olde Thompson has a matching salt grinder, I searched for "Olde Thompson Bavaria Salt Mill" and it's the first search result (3823-00 5 1/2" Bavaria Salt Mill). I have both of them and they have worked quite well so far.

Not powdery but not *very* coarse either. Can still feel small gritty granules. Just right for everything.

it is course. Doesn't matter when you put it in stuff that you are cooking. We used a mortar and pestle to grind it to put on food. Sort of a nice touch to hand grind your own salt.

I use this grinder for sea salt. It works just great. My husband and I use it all the time when we put salt on things.

It is adjustable but may not grind anything to powder. Mostly medium to coarse grind. You must use heavy duty batteries such as Duracell for it to work.

I use mine for powdered sugar and we have to shake it a few times to get enough sugar on our French toast. Maybe it would work for your powdery salt.
