Can you change how fine they grind? Both the salt and pepper comes out in bigger chunks than I would like.

You definitely can. Turn the silver knobs clockwise and the grind size will decrease.

Yes, grind can be adjusted on both with center knob at the top. I am still happy with this purchase.

yes. Right out of the box it was a bit too chunky for me as well. Turn it upside down so the salt/pepper doesn't interfere and turn the small metal knob on the top. When it's upside down, counterclock wise for finer, clock wise for "courser". You can do it right side up as well, just easier to see the other way. Love these. Going to give them as christmas presents.

I guess I'm a bit of a salt fiend. I just take a pinch out of a container and sprinkle it in my cooking or on my dish. I agree it doesn't grind well in my grinder either.

If you look at my short vidxeo you will see that it does not give a powder fine grind of pepper. Although you can grind salt (ceramikc mechanism) it is a much harder spice than pepperm The grind will be even coarser.

No problem grinding them, but grinding dust will pack up quickly under the burr. This must be cleaned out with a stiff brush after every use.

Turn it one way to grind pepper and the other to grind salt. You have to remember to remove the bottom or you just get salt and pepper in it. It makes loading S&P; easier, but is a pain when using the mill.

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!

That is not the one I own, but you probably just have to unscrew the top for the salt and the bottom for the pepper.

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".

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

I'm not sure if you could, these are rather chunky, bigger pieces, not fine like stovetop ones.

The salt shaker in my opinion isn't very good. There are few holes, and the salt always gets stuck between the removeable top and the shaker itself. I still use the grinder, but not the shaker.

I don't recall there being a way to adjust these. These work well, however, they don't hold much. I later purchased these Kuhn Rikon 9-Inch Ratchet Salt Pepper Grinder, White and like them much better. These CAN be adjusted.

I do not have the salt grinder; I only have the pepper mill, so I can't answer your question.

The Grinder is adjustable at the bottom for how fine you want it to grind. If you want the peppercorns just cracked slightly I doubt it would do that. If you want it as flakes rather than powder it will do that. Help this helps.

There isn't a fixed number of settings; there's a little knob on the bottom of the grinder that you turn to adjust how fine or coarse you want your salt/pepper. So yes, you have a full range of options. (By the way, we've had ours for six months or so and *love* it.)

Yes you can. I had not tried it until you asked. But my husband likes his pepper a bit chunky, so I looked on line and they suggest unscrewing the top and pulling the 'lid' up a bit to open the space in the grinding mechanism. This allows bigger chunks to fall through. It worked! Thanks for asking as I now know how to do it.

My grinder works great. Regarding your problem, you could try replacing the batteries or possibly changing the type of salt/pepper your using. Good luck!
