What am I missing here - $24 for a LITTLE bag of salt? I don't see any directions how to make it last.

I was more than happy to pay $24 for a bag of superior Sea Salt and my bag lasted quite a long time. But then, i don't over-Salt!

You don't have to use a lot a little goes a long way. You cans dry it out in the oven and grind it to use it as table salt.

We got a bag of sand at Home Depot - not sure exactly how much we used but had over half a bag left. We did use a funnel and took two of us. Guess it could be done alone but easier with another pair of hands.

You can buy "saline solution packets" or make it at home (like I do). I use a half a teaspoon of baking soda & a half a teaspoon of sea salt. Less less expensive that way. I do buy the packets when I'm traveling. Hope this helps. A neti pot has been a panacea for me, but I know now that it's not right for everyone.

Its a stock base, no pieces, runs very salty to my tastes. The price here is also very high, check their website for a list of stores.

You need to buy it. And it takes alot of salt at frist to get it going after that not much at all. It does a great job.

I just discovered you can use regular batteries! Not sure how long they will last, but my salt shaker has not worked at all for over a week. I gave it a shot with regular AA batteries and it started right up!

From my point of view, it is more work than it's worth. All of my recipes are for 4 or 6 quart machines, so none will work with this unit. Purchased mixes don't taste as good to me as my homemade from scratch ones. No ice, no salt is true, but you have to freeze the insulated mixing bowl for a minimum of 12 hours before using it. 24 hours works better, and then refreeze the contents you don't use right away, in the bowl, so you can dispense them using the machine again. Plus, it's mostly plastic. If you drop it, it breaks and needs to be replaced. My opinion, stay with a 4 or 6 quart electric machine that lasts and produces more ice cream.

I assume water softner salt works fine? If so it comes in 40 lb. bags for around $5 each in my locale.

It would be best to go to their website. However, like most of the people that have posted here I would season with salt and pepper, some herbs, maybe a little butter or oil, seal up the bag and bake for no longer than 15 minutes.

I agree it is very wet! My solution was to take it out of the plastic bag it was shipped in and spread it thinly over paper towels. I changed the paper towels each day for about 3 days. I then stored it in an airtight container. It works perfectly in my grinder now. Until the moisture dries from the salt, about the only way to apply it is by hand. Honestly I love this salt! It has an awesome flavor. I hope this helps.

The previous responses are correct. I found this offering to not be a good deal. The popcorn is the best, but this is expensive. I have found the large bags at Wal-Mart. They were $3 for a 9.7 oz bag. They have a bunch of em now because of the Super Bowl coming up, but other times they are sometimes hard to find.

I would say that both the sodium chloride (salt) and the silica (sand) in the bag that I bought are fine, that is, more the size of table salt. Even though it is fine, the insoluble silica particles are very unpleasant to experience between my teeth when I ate the food I cooked with it.

Hi Steve. I live in a coastal community on the Gulf of Mexico, so I've never seen, or had a use for a bag of salt. I guess it would depend on the size of the bag.I use it for charcoal and it will hold a 20lb bag of lump, perfectly.

The 5 pound bag of Celtic Sea Salt is coarse ground... You will need to use a grinder with it. You can purchase a glass grinder with all plastic components from Selina Naturally. The salt may corrode any metal components. On another note, I am loving the taste of the Celtic Sea Salt! It adds so much more flavoring to my food with far less salt than I would have used with table salt.

Please take some time to read the documentation. Fill the footbath with tap water ONLY and get all connected. While running add the salt VERY slowly pausing between sprinkles giving time for the salt to register (This isn't instant coffee). You added too much salt and the only way to bring it back to 2.5 or lower is to add water (dilute) whereas starting over would be more productive. Again read the documentation....

If this is a pure mineral salt (Magnesium Sulphate and nothing else) it's shelf life is theoretically infinite. Unless it becomes wet, just keep it from contamination and you're good for a lifetime!
