Does it grind salt well? I'm considering buying one each for pepper and salt

I haven't tried it for salt so I can't answer that from first hand knowledge. It works great for pepper!

the truth is that I havent tried it with salt but I dont see a reason why not. what I can say is that after several months I am very satisfied with this product.

Yes, we are very pleased with it. However, I do have the salt grinder so I cannot answer that part.

Most pepper mills can't be used for salt. Salt and metal grinders don't get along.

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.

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 use mine for sea salt & black pepper corns. U turn the top to grind. You can also adjust the middle to grind fine or course. They are big but I like them cuz you dont have to fill as often. I hope they come out with regular spice size to fit in cabinet.

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.

I think they are just alike. I have both. Can't say I ever tried to see if the pepper mill would grind salt. They work the same. Honestly I hardly ever use the salt mill. It looks nice sitting with the pepper mill. They hold a lot so I do not have to refill that often.

The inside of the bowl might show some very shallow circular lines from the manufacturing process, however they polish out fairly quickly with use. Before I bought it, one of the reviewers mentioned using a bit of sandpaper to smooth it out.It will grind anything, I love it. My sister has one too, and uses it to grind all manner of spices.

I have used it to grind whole peppercorns. Does a decent job. Grind for a few seconds, then check for desired consistency.

I haven't used it for anything except pepper. But, this seems to be a fairly good quality grinder and the size of the grind can be adjusted which might be useful for different types of spices.

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!

This is a salt SHAKER and pepper mill combo.(only grinds the pepper) Quite small but seems to work well so far. Comes filled with the salt and peppercorns. Just tried it out for the first time since getting it for Christmas.

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.

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.

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.

I never grind Pepper corn but i think it will work for pepper . I usually use it for groundnuts , Red Chile , Sesame Seed.

Yes, it does a good job, but make sure that you keep an eye on how fine you wish to chop/grind them! It's a personal choice.Hope this helps.

No. There are rather large holes in the lid. I used Scotch tape on the inside of the lid to close off most of the holes so I could use regular salt in one. The other has coarse ground black pepper in it and does very well. These are nice looking and durable. I'm satisfied
