How large a salt crystal can this handle? I have Himalayan salt that I bought on Amazon. The crystals are really too large for a Greek salt mill.

Although I didn't get my Himalayan salt from Amazon, My OXO Good Grips Salt Grinder works well with the Himalayan salt I bought elsewhere. AND, I really love this salt grinder because you have to turn it upside down to grind, and set upright so that the salt bits don't fall onto your cabinet or table surfaces and leave a mess.

In my experience...the answer would be NO...I tried to set this grinder to grind fine; if it's possible I sure couldn't figure out how to set this grinder on anything that would change it to grind salt crystals smaller at all..

This salt is mixed large and small. It did not work in my grinder. It kept falling out the bottom....

It actually doesn't take a lot of crystals at all. Follow the amts. on the bag that should be just fine or even a little less. They have been working great for me.

Here is a link that has alot of technical data: https://www.google.com/search?q=salt+comparison+values&rlz;=1C1GGGE_enUS432US448&es;pv=2&biw;=1719&bih;=831&tbm;=isch&tbo;=u&sour;ce=univ&sa;=X&ei;=njo2VZq5L-jdsATIhYD4Dg&ve;d=0CCMQsAQ Not sure if this is too much info but way down the chart compares celtic salt with himalayan and table salt. Happy hunting!

Great question.. Give it a try with the mixture of water for the Epsom salt to freeze in a mold. Post your result please!

Hi,Jaime. This salt is very poorly soluble in water. I usually use 2-3 handfuls of salt and throws in the water advance.

I put some pink Himalayan salt in that has chunks about the size of a pea and it seems to do well with medium to course grind, but doesn't manage the fine.

I cannot say for sure, but it does work on coarse Himalayan salt. I am still playing with it.

Himalayan rock salt will last forever...the bulb may burn out eventually, but your rocks will stay beautiful indefinitely. I keep mine on all evening very evening..it is very good for ionizing the air in a room so good for your health...enjoy!

It shouldn't. My product from this vendor was sub-par. It had white stuff all over it (and still does, the bulb has also blown and ive hardly had it 6 months). The people I got in contact with told me I needed to clean it with a damp towel for up to 2 weeks. Never have I ever come across that with any type of Himalayan salt item before.

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

Absolutely!! As far as it goes that I can tell, This mechanical devise has been so nice for me that is, that you could use it for a number of different herbs or different salts, peppercorns, etc... I have a variety in mine presently. And on the opposite end have a Part Himalayan Salt Part Hawaiian Black Salt Combo!! It is Definitely your preference as long as you stick to the guidelines on not over tightening for the size of how fine you want it to grind. Which I have had no problem with mind the way it came...

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.

Since I have this gronder, I've only used it for sea salt. The coarse type that's being used to grind clamps much les than the fine salt you would use in a shaker, and it works fine for me.

There s a separate salt mill available from the same manufacturer. In our extended family we have four sets! These are a great product. I've had mine for close to ten years. My DIL loved mine so I got one for her. Oldest son next, then he bought a second set for his ,otorsports home. Yes, we like them..

I haven't tried to use finer salt. I've only used larger grain salt. I'm not sure this would be a a good idea since the grains are already small and may "gum" up the grinder. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
