salt mill

Crystal grinding device

A salt mill is a handheld device for grinding salt crystals into finer particles at the table, similar to a pepper mill.

The mechanism—typically ceramic rather than metal, since salt corrodes steel—crushes coarse salt when you twist the top: She gave the salt mill a few turns over her salad.
