salt grinder

Crystal-crushing table tool

A salt grinder is a handheld mill for grinding coarse salt crystals into finer particles at the table or during cooking.

Unlike pepper grinders, which crack dried peppercorns, salt grinders work against crystite—requiring ceramic or stainless steel mechanisms since salt corrodes standard metal burrs.

Pass me the salt grinder, please.
