I'm going back to table salt

I agree. The grains in The ground salt are too big and you get a strong taste of salt from them all of a sudden. I stopped using ground salt/sea salt a few years ago.
Incidentally I also started using white pepper as well as black pepper : not all the time but especially on English type food: mashed potato, cabbage, sprouts etc.

I like sea salt because I find you need less than table salt.

I like sea salt too, or Himalayan salt which comes in a grinder from Lidl (well, from the Himalayas obviously, via Finland, to Lidl).

I find rock salt drenches the food too much and too quickly, I only use a tiny bit of salt from the grinder.

I've even got fed up with salt cellars clogging and now use two tiny bowls for table salt and Himalayan salt.

I must be lucky as I've not had a problem with salt grinders and only use for cooking, never at the table anyway. I admit I have two pepper grinders and one does grind too large.

I only use table salt when making bread. You need an exact teaspoonful which is a bit tricky when using a grinder.

Bags reads thread and then goes to google Himalayan salt. Never heard of it. Is it not just good ole sodium chloride?

Wiki thinks it's nearly all sodium chloride but with a few bits and bobs of "contaminants". I'll stick with the cheapo stuff then. Just another fad.

I like Himalayan salt too but whatever I buy clogs up within a couple of days I know I m in an old Victorian house but in the middle of a hot summer I don't get it

Same here re cloggy salt in old house, bluebelle. Sugar too. Just life in a wet climate where we are. Humidity is always high here.

In Greece they put rice in with the salt to keep it dry.

I don't add salt to anything, never have. and I've got DH on Lo-salt following his cardiac events.

Aha! Thanks, chelseababy! I'll try that.

Glad you said that Katek, was beginning to think it was only us who don't use salt, except on chips that is. Pepper, now that's a different matter.

Just realised that what I just wrote is a tad misleading. We do use salt, on slugs and icy paths.

We have a pair of Crush Grind ceramic salt and pepper mills. They are several years old and have never clogged. Always use Maldon sea salt.

I use coarse sea salt in a grinder and have never had a problem with it clogging, but we were in a restaurant recently and they had to bring three different grinders before they found one that wasn't clogged. DH likes salt on his food. I have been fighting a losing battle for years to get him to stop, and he won't countenance low sodium salt. I use next to none in cooking so I'm hoping that helps! I also put rice in with table salt. It does work.

The only salt I use is whatever's required for bread making and an occasional recipe where it seems essential. I've had the same tub of Saxa salt for years and years!

My mum used to put rice in table salt!

I use cornish sea salt in grinders and in a salt 'pig' by the cooker. I have tried all sorts of grinders but find that good quality ones last longer than others. I don't actually know where the table salt is, if we have any?

I ve put rice in the salt pot I ve put dried peas I ve tried glass salt sellers metal ones pot ones I ve kept it in the container I bought it in, I ve kept it by the microwave ( hoping it will keep dry) and nothing stops it clogging up How do you handle it Thatbags ......I don't remember it ever being like this before I live in the same house my Nan had when I was a kid and never remember cloggy salt are they missing something out or putting something in?.

I just bash the lumps out of the salt that I keep in a salt pig, bluebelle. It's less cloggy than it was when we first came to live in this house, which had been empty for a year. I reckon just having the house well aired and using heating in a normal way has dried things and the atmosphere out a bit.

Just thought... my salt pig is wooden (beech). I wonder if that makes a difference.

We buy a sea salt grinder from Aldi. no refilling. Just under£1.

Don't tell him greyduster! I actually emptied out his table salt container and refilled it with Lo-salt and he never noticed! Told him after a couple of months and he had to grudgingly agree that it was acceptable. Sneaky perhaps, but trying to look out for him. He's the same with anything decaffeinated, says it's awful, can't stand it etc, but happily drinks it at DS/Dil's! Think he's just putting up last ditch grumble.
