To wonder what other people do about the salt mill

[snowdropsandcrocuses]

What do you do to prevent salt spilling out the bottom of the grinder all over the cupboard base?

I'm aware this is a first world problem but I'm so over the salty spillage

Currently contemplating a return to fine salt shakers!!

BU: put up with the salt and clean your cupboards out more often

NBU: buy a 50p shaker and move on

I have upright with a lid kind now, my other one is on a shelf gathering dust as I just could not cope with that much salt sprinkling

My toddler calls salt and pepper 'food glitter' well just like craft glitter it used to get everywhere. Now the problem is solved!

Mine stays in the container it came in

Salt pig that I stick my finger in every time I go past

I just use a le creuset salt pig 🤷🏼‍♀️. There is zero benefit from freshly ground salt. But it ready ground, just refill your salt pig as needed. I've attached photos in case you don't know what a salt pig is.

I'm actually just showing off my amazing rhino butterdish if I'm honest 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

[quote Hiphopopotamus]@ouch321 you never use any salt in cooking??[/quote]
Nope, I just skip that step. I would add it at the table if I ever thought the food needed it but it never does.

Don't use pepper either, don't like it.

My tastebuds are def on the pro sweet rather than the pro salt team.

I have a salt pig too, beside the stove to use when I’m cooking, but sometimes I want fairly coarsely ground salt too, for things like a tomato salad.

Mine's in a repurposed Gu ramekin. They're just the right size for my salt and pepper mills.

Same here! They're just the job.

It's all about the pig.

Our salt and pepper grinders live in a small shallow wooden box, which may have been a gift box for miniature whiskies or some such.

I've got a gravity one so it sits with the grinder at the top and then when you tip it down it automatically grinds so I don't have any salt spill

Yep, good excuse to eat Gu or Bonne Maman puddings. The ramekins are the perfect size.

I've just bought this because of the same annoyance and so far so good 2 Pack Pepper Grinder, Salt and... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07QXY1VFD?ref=ppxpoppmobappshare

Another vote for the Gu ramekin.

It's justification for hanging on to at least one of them, two if you also have a pepper grinder.

We use a Gu ramekin too for the salt grinder, & a salt pig for flakes.

Just put it upside down surely

I used a jar lid for mine when it was in the cupboard. V easy solution.

Stand it in a ramekin

I use a salt pig too.
With regard to our pepper grinder , I do my 15 turns, shake then put it back in its place.

Not sure what the problem is.

I just have little pinch pots.

I use the plastic lid of a pringles tube.

I was admiring it!!

I think my pepper mill makes more mess but I keep them on the worktop so it just gets wiped up everytime I'm wiping round so not really an issue.

I use one of these it doesn’t spill
