Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I got my Kyocera about 2 weeks ago. This was to replace the old (about 12 yrs) grinder that I had gotten from the Grain and Salt Society. My visiting sister dropped it on the floor and the glass broke. (beloved sister breaks one thing in my kitchen every year when she visits-----gonna make her stay home!) It was wonderful, and does not seem to be available anywhere (believe me, I really searched). So, the Kyocera comes in at 2nd best, but it doesn't look like there is much in the way of other choices. Since my house is winter bone-dry, the wet salt is not so much of an issue. What I learned to do with the old one was to mix the coarse grind with the fine and somehow it just worked a lot better than just grinding the coarse alone. Sharon M > Cooking.com has it too.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Is there any reason we couldn't dry the wet salt, say in the oven on low for a bit? Then we should be able to put it in any grinder. Or is there benefit to it staying wet? Darla > > I got my Kyocera about 2 weeks ago.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 My microwave is at eye level. At first I thought it was the cause of my hypo brain fog. :-) Darla > > Why " nuke " a good thing like Celtic Salt. I don't trust them for food.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Yes, that is true re: " Isn't that (grinding) defeating the purpose of this good salt. " People who are used to the 'dead' table salt that 'pours' want the CSS to taste and act the same. If they want to grind it at first in order to get used to the taste/makeup, that is okay, but, it is important to eventually eat CSS wet and whole in order to ingest all of its healing ingredients. > Is there any reason we couldn't dry the wet salt, say in the oven on > low for a bit?

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hi , Is this a small, hand grinder? I called my kitchen supply and they have no ceramic ones, just wooden and plastic. Thanks, Re: Salt Mill Cooking.com has it too. I have this grinder. Actually I have the course and the fine grind versions. I recommend the (white) fine grind. My course grind gets jammed up more since the salt is so wet. The key is the ceramic parts that do not rust. You do not want a metal grinder.http://www.cooking.com/products/shprodde.asp?SKU=394841Here is another resource for a list of other websites http://www.mysimon.com/9015-11016_8-28938084.htmlSteph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Did you look at the link? It is 5 inches high and yes it is a hand grinder with a ceramic mechanism.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Yes, I looked but it didn't say how big it was. It looks really nice but I do not have the $$$ right now. I've been swallowing the coarse Celtic Sea Salt like a pill, putting it on my tongue and washing it down with the tall glass of water. Is it ok to take it like this? I hope it'll dissolve in my warm bod. My muscles don't allow me to use the manual one but I get my caregiver to grind what I use on food. I have the grinder from the site where I got my first Celtic Sea Salt, so will use it until it croaks. Thanks, Re: Salt Mill Did you look at the link?

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I dissolve it in warm water or OJ. It works great that way. I also put it on my tongue and suck on it.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I have Himalayian salt an I take a solution called " Sole " already so I just continued that. I hope its doing the job. I haven't really had any detox symptoms so I guess it is. The first time I used my Lugol's I over did it, but since then I've build up slowly. I add my Himalayian salt to a pint jar an add distilled or spring water an let it set at least 8 hours. I just add about a teaspoon of the salty water to a glass of water, pure water. I drink that everymorning first thing an add about a teaspoon to a gallon of bottled water to make it mineral water. I drink that through out the day. I just add water as needed or salt as needed to the pint jar. Always have salt in the bottem. I've only had to add salt once or twice. About an inch in the bottem. I love the taste of salt anyway. The salt makes the water so clear it almost looks crystal. I don't have a grinder an my money is also limited so this works for me. Barbara > > Yes, I looked but it didn't say how big it was.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 I just have to chime in to say THANK YOU to Sheila for giving me the IKEA salt mill advice when I first posted a month or two ago. My post was a few days before the newspaper article which brought many new members and posts so I never replied - too busy reading! I went immediately to Ikea and bought one. That Ikea salt mill is PERFECT!!! So much happier since we got it and can actually use our real salt. Thank you. And like you said, it is very handy having the other containers and you can just easily switch the grinder top to any of your spices.
