How to Troubleshoot a Salt Mill
The most common salt mill malfunction is clogging. This is caused by moisture in either the salt or the grinding mechanisms. Moisture can enter a salt mill when it's placed in liquid or used over steam. Fortunately, clogging is easy to fix or prevent.
Things You'll Need
- Small brush
- Rubbing alcohol
- Cooking oil
- Rock or sea salt
Instructions
-
Open up the mill. Discard the contents.
-
Clean the mill and grinding mechanisms with a small dry brush. Wipe the body of the mill with rubbing alcohol. Air dry all parts for at least 24 hours.
-
Add dry rock or sea salt to the salt mill. Include a few grains of rice to absorb any moisture.
-
Lubricate the threaded part of the mill, lightly using cooking oil and fingers. Prevent salt corrosion and increase the ease of assembly.
-
Adjust for the desired coarseness of salt by tightening or loosening the screw that connects to the grinding mechanism. Reassemble the mill. Test by turning the grinder knob.
-
Store the salt mill in a cool, dry place.
