I’ve never found a salt grinder able to sustain the salt corrosion in the long run. Sooner or later, salt is aggregating and turning even the more resistant parts into rust.
I was recently planning to get back to a regular pestle/mortar setup after yet another costly failure.
Did you manage to find a way to work this around?
- sgtnoodle 3y agoWhat timescale are you talking about? I have a William Sonoma salt grinder, as well as one that my friend made for me. They're both about 5 years old. As far as I know there's no significant deterioration on either one. The grinding surfaces are ceramic.
- czechdeveloper 3y agoI use ceramic grinder. No corrosion possible.
- vladvasiliu 3y ago> I’ve never found a salt grinder able to sustain the salt corrosion in the long run There are ceramic grinders now. I'd expect those to not rust, but I don't know how long they stay sharp.
- erikpukinskis 3y agoYou can make ceramics harder than the hardest steel so staying sharp shouldn’t be a problem.
- carlmr 3y agoI've had ceramic salt grinders for years now. Anecdotally you're right, never thought about replacing them.
