Is there any way to grind a coarse salt into a finer one?

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 :)

Hi - Yes, I would say you can grind those items. There is a little black nozzle at the top of the grinder which allows you to grind coarse or fine. Hope that helps. It's a great grinder and I am hoping to order a few more soon. I like to have them for different sorts of salts and peppers.

I think so you may have to grind it first if don't want salt chunks. The maker says to dehydrate in the oven before grinding is best.

I've never tried, but you can adjust the grinding mechanism from fine to coarse so I'm guessing you could.

Since I have this gronder, I've only used it for sea salt. The coarse type that's being used to grind clamps much les than the fine salt you would use in a shaker, and it works fine for me.

I put some pink Himalayan salt in that has chunks about the size of a pea and it seems to do well with medium to course grind, but doesn't manage the fine.

plain old table salt works fine. 1-2 teaspoons is sufficient in a small footbath. More makes the machine beep a warning that the AMPs are too high. Salt mixes nicely with warm water.

Yes. I use similar salts. The gap between the rotating ceramic grinding disc and the non moving circular base is adjustable. Thus, for salt which is not in the form of large crystals, one can reduce the gap, and it would be fine. One thing to note is that the salt being used has to be free-flowing though. So if the Himalayan rock salt is sticky, then it would not enter the grinding section at all. Hope this helps. :)

We have not tried that yet. This was for my husband, and so far he has only done a medium/fine grind.

Yes... There is a dial at the bottom of each side that can be turned to either grind finer or more coarse.

I do not know of any tools or measuring devices that can give that answer. When you grind salt or pepper it is in irregular shapes. If you need a specifically consistent size of salt and pepper you should buy off the shelf commercially ground salt and pepper.

I've been using Himalayan salt in mine. The individual crystals are probably the size of what you might get if you were enthusiastic about breaking up your chunk of salt. I have found that, while it does grind the salt, it's a tough go for my hands. I have the grinder adjusted as loose as practicable and the grind is still very fine. Possibly it's because the crystal size is still a little large. Also, I don't turn the grinder in one direction for this salt because I've found that eventually the thing gets so tight I can't turn it the other way at all. So I turn it back and forth. It's working very well for me though. I've been using Himalayan salt in mine.

Try cracking the whole nutmegs with a hammer first or a nutcracker if the type you have will work. The pieces should grind OK. I have a tiny grater that I use only for whole nutmegs. It makes a fine powder. I wouldn't use a grinder unless you need more than say a tablespoon.

It coarse. My family likes to use it as a table salt because it has a satisfying crunch. We have a grinder also.

Dimentions: h5";w3". You can set the degree of grinding that you want so that course salt in a table salt can be made more fine.

This one can be poured straight into into the salt shaker. They also have coarse salt that probably does need to be ground: One 16-Ounce Real Salt Sea Salt Coarse - Grinder
