Will this grind moist Grey Celtic Sea Salt? Due to it's moisture my current mill will not grind it.

Yes, it will. However, I love my moist Grey Celtic Sea Salt dry. So, I bake it first. But this grinder DOES work if you like this Salt moist. My beautiful Stainless Steel grinder does nothing for it. I LOVE this grinder and well worth the purchase. Hope this helps.

If you want very fine salt, you should probably buy a grinder. The grains aren't huge -- not as large as some Celtic sea salt grains that I've seen -- but the salt definitely does not have the powdery quality of table salt. There is also a bit of moisture in the bag, so the grains occasionally form small clumps. This is my favorite salt, BTW! I don't have plans on using any other salt in the near future!

I have only the pepper mill. And i love it. Use it daily and will have it for life. It's that well made. I will probably get the salt mill as I've been using celtic sea salt.

as long as the salt is dry. I know some brands of celtic sea salt has the texture of wet sand. I use Himalayan sea salt in mine. Works great. if your salt is sticky in nature I wouldn't recommend this product. I think the salt would gum it up.

I have owned one of these for many years. I didn't know about the salt mill so I would check and see if there really is a removable base on your mill. Also I would never use petrochemicals on anything that touches food. Use a food oil or wax for a lubricant. I am so glad that these mills are still for sale. I bought mine on a recommendation from the "Galloping Gourmet". He had a local TV show in San Francisco many years ago.

I know what you mean. This is the grinder for you. Very accuate. Try the pink sea salt . I love this grinder.

It was not as course as I had thought it would be, being sea salt. It has the feel of Morton's table salt. I like to use it for cooking and save my more expensive course grind for finishing or topping my breads and bagels. The flavor is pretty neutral and normal salt flavor, not wet like sea salt either. It is great because it works well in salt shakers, but is easy to grab a "pinch" when cooking. It does tend to clump when humid, but so far has not got hard as a rock either.

No you do not need a grinder! I have been using this Real Sea Salt for over 20 years and would not use regular table process salt. There is no comparison between the great taste of Real Salt and bland taste of process salt.

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

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

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.

I have only used it for course salt, but there is a burr on the bottom that tightens or loosens the grinding plate, so maybe small seeds are possible for it to grind. I know my salt comes out in very fine grains. Poppy sees are pretty tiny tho, so your guess is as good as mine.

the idea is to use a coarse salt (kosher, sea, himalayan, etc.) and grind it to the desired size/texture. the grinder allows you to choose a fine, medium or coarse setting.

It's just salt... There shouldn't be any problem with grinders unless they are cheap plastic grinding wheels. It's no harder than typical table salt

I would think so, though I can't see a definte "YES!". But I have heard of all kinds of spices and herbs and things being grind with this mill...!

Absolutely - that's why I bought it. However, this salt is harder than most so it takes a bit more of an effort to grind it but it's definitely worth it.

It can probably grind other things. You can open it and refill so I'm sure you can grind something else. It does come with salt.
