What’s the difference between a pepper grinder mechanism and a salt grinder mechanism? PDF Print E-mail
Both grinder mechanisms are extremely durable (professional grade) and guaranteed for life. The difference between them is in the material- the pepper mechanism is stainless, the salt is plastic. This is because salt would eventually cause corrosion to the stainless. So, do not use salt in the pepper grinder, or vice versa.

The plastic grinder for the salt functions in the same manner as the pepper, and is adjustable for grind size as well. It is made from an extremely tough plastic (I believe polycarbonate) much like material often used in bullet proof/unbreakable window applications. It is intended to be used with sea/rock salt, not really for small crystal (standard) salt. Standard small crystal salt would just sift through the bottom of the mechanism without grinding. So by all means do use the salt grinder with its intended sea/rock salt.  Also as an additional tip, for the best grinding efficiency and to reduce chances of clogging, always turn the tops in a clockwise direction, not back and forth as some people tend to do.
