Couple things: salt grinders are an alternative to putting rice in your shaker to prevent clumping. If it's already clumped, grind it. Also - sea salt marketed

Also - sea salt marketed as sea salt tastes different from iodized table salt. That's what people want, the different taste. It may have come from the same general place (...sea), but it still tastes different. Just like McDo's fries vs. Wendy's.... I prefer the salt that McDo's uses.
- NikolaeVarius 10y agoIt tastes different because, to the best of my knowledge, sea salt is flaky versus the beads of "normal" salt. They dissolve on your tongue differently causing a different amount of salt taste. They aren't different in any other way. Also the lack of any Dune references was disappointing.
- nyolfen 10y agoseriously, it drives me crazy that people think there's any meaningful difference between salts besides marketing. it's NaCl, sometimes with iodine or small impurities. people buy himalayan salt because it sounds exotic, but it's just salt.
- draw_down 10y agoTo me this is like saying "what's the big difference between water and ice? It's all H2O". As it turns out, the arrangement of the molecules has some importance. If you put iodized table salt on top of a brownie instead of something flaky like Maldon, you're going to have a bad time.
