I love sea salt, but it kept getting stuck in the regular salt shaker this company makes. Has anyone used. sea salt of any kind in this grinder?

Yes. It's a given that the crystals will end up smaller, but there are no blockages.

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 have the grinder and the salt does clump in the humid weather. It still grinds okay though.

I use this grinder for sea salt. It works just great. My husband and I use it all the time when we put salt on things.

I use the one with less holes for salt, just to keep our salt intake down. Of course, there is no way to stop from shaking it more, but still. :)

The flakes are just that: flaky. Not unlike pastry flakes, they crumble nicely when pinched and rolled between the fingers onto salad or soup, or, as I use it, to top off chocolate chip cookies. The Sea Salt Flakes would not be appropriate for a salt grinder or cellar. I keep mine in a little wooden covered bowl on my counter. It is a nice presentation!

Sea salt definitely. That's what I have in mine. Course kosher salt should also be fine.

I think it is not recommended, but I've used salt in mine several times with no problems.

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.

Several website will answer your question: http://www.pureformulas.com/customers-testimonials.html#sthash.YAkAB1N4.dpbs http://www.sinussupport.com/education/sea-salt/ Hope this will help,as I understand regular table salt has ingredients that will stinging and has no more important minerals.

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

I have the same salts and havent used these salts as of yet,but the grinders have no problem with regular hard salts

I'm sorry, I really don't know. I put a clean piece of cord board in the middle, and put regular salt on one side, and sea salt on the other. So far, works great.

Why does it show a grinder Now I have a salt shaker and you have a REAL BAD review Send me another grinder and I'll send you back the shaker and all will be good.

It is a very nice shaker but the holes are way to big for that kind of salt. Maybe you could put tape over the holes on the back and only leave a couple open.

My grinder works great. Regarding your problem, you could try replacing the batteries or possibly changing the type of salt/pepper your using. Good luck!

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.

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.

Hi Mary - I bought the salt and pepper mills a couple of months ago. I was *very* happy with their appearance, but couldn't quite figure out the battery insertion/unit assembly/disassembly. I just defaulted to the company's web site: http://uk.russellhobbs.com/pdf/12051-56_salt_and_pepper_grinder.pdf where all questions were answered - including how you adjust it for the grind size. I *love* this product and hope you do too. Thanks, Lele

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.
