Can this grinder be used for salt crystals also? Does Ozeri make a grinder just for salt?

Yes, you can use salt but not stone salt or wet sea salt. All of their pepper mills are compatible with salt.

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

No, there is not a salt version of the 9-inch Magnum Plus pepper mill. There is a salt version of the 6-inch Magnum. It is available in white and grinds coarse sea salt. We do not recommend customers use Celtic, Grey, Himalayan or Pink salt in our mills as those salts are not fully dried and can gum up or clog the teeth of the ceramic grinding mechanism. Salt and Pepper grinders are designed to crush/grind dry, brittle material. "Moist" or not "damp" peppercorns or salt crystals are never recommended. Coarse sea salt is our recommendation - with the crystals about the size of a peppercorn. Hope this helps.

I don't have this product, but generally speaking salt grinders use a nylon grinding mechanism, since salt is corrosive to steel. Pepper and spice grinders usually have a stainless steel grinding mechanism.

I believe the only difference in the salt grinder is it has a ceramic non corrosive grinding mechanism inside. I had both and they look the same outside.

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.

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

It's not going to grind a *chunk.* I would suggest putting the chunk in a thick plastic bag, take it outside and hit it with a hammer until it is fairly well ground up. Then put it in the mill. I grind coarse ground Celtic Sea Salt in it with no problems whatsoever. It does a great job.

It is sea salt which is a coarse but a wonderful salt for cooking. You could possibly try Morton iodized salt but you would only need a salt shaker not a grinder for that.

Yes you can. I use a Pampered Chef salt and pepper grinder and have no problems at all.

It does not grind the salt. Several holes in stainless steel top to shake out salt.

It is course ground so you will need to get a salt shaker that is a grinder. We absolutely love ours! what great flavor from grinding as you go!

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...

You know, Michael, I don't really know. I use mine for Himalayan pink salt and it's worked perfectly now for a couple of years. I think the mechanism is a kind of plastic rather than metal so it won't corrode. If you're using it for pepper you might want to be sure of a metal grinder for the harder pepper corns. (By the way, I really do like mine a lot!)

It works fine in my relatively cheap hand grinder. It grinds clean. I have some oily Celtic Gray salt that clogs, but this never has.

Absolutely. Just buy a pepper grinder and put salt into it. That's what I did since I like coarse salt but not as coarse as rock salt :)

I bought a Japanese ceramic salt grinder here on Amazon and it works great even with the wetness of this salt. It is called a Kyocera Ceramic Fine Mill.
