Is the salt on a shaker or grinder?

The salt is a shaker. Salt comes out of the top and does not have a screw like the picture displays.

The salt is a shaker...they are brass colored type of heavy plastic. I have already given my set away.

The container is glass and the twisting top appears to be plastic. Now it's called a ceramic fine mill, so I believe the top cover includes the ceramic mechanism which grinds the salt. I use it for milling unaltered, unbleached salt and I'm very satisfied. You might want to check with the manufacturer if you want to be absolutely certain. I hope that helps.

It's been a while since I purchased mine, but I'm pretty sure it is. Table salt wouldn't need a grinder anyway!

The base is plastic. Thick and durable. One of the best salt shakers I've had. The pour spout is so nice instead of having to take off the top.

It is not fine grained, but not coarse grained, it doesn't need to be ground, it will go through a salt shaker.

It's the pair: one order = two grinders. Incidentally, they're completely identical grinders -- the only thing differentiating the salt grinder from the pepper grinder is what you put in it.

I believe the only difference in the salt grinder is it has a ceramic non corrosive grinding mechanism inside. I had both and they look the same outside.

The salt shaker works very well. There 5 holes are the right size so it does not get clogged. Works well at the table or when you are cooking.

The salt is quite coarse - more like Kosher salt. I would suggest trying it out first and then buying a grinder if necessary

It looks like the one for $7.99 is for one shaker only which is what I ordered and the one that says $15.99 is for two if you want them for salt AND pepper!

If you want very fine salt, you should probably buy a grinder. The grains aren't huge -- not as large as some Celtic sea salt grains that I've seen -- but the salt definitely does not have the powdery quality of table salt. There is also a bit of moisture in the bag, so the grains occasionally form small clumps. This is my favorite salt, BTW! I don't have plans on using any other salt in the near future!

The Celtic salt is often wet in the bag, and is soft, so it does not work well in a grinder. If you plan to use a salt grinder, choose the dry, hard Himalayan.

It is course ground so you will need to get a salt shaker that is a grinder. We absolutely love ours! what great flavor from grinding as you go!

I have not tried to do that, but since they sell a separate salt grinder my best gas is that the grinding elements are different for salt from pepper Salt is a harder material. Spices might be okay, but I have never tried that.

I only have the pepper grinder, but it has the best grind adjustment capability of any grinder I have seen. I would have to believe the salt grinder would be equally adjustable.

I use the coarse salt in my grinder with no problems. I also use it unground sometimes, like on a slow-roasted pork shoulder wrapped in banana leaves (kaluah pig).

No, they are not thrown together. There is a piece of thick plastic down the center of the shaker (you can see the line in the picture). You turn the top one way and you access the salt, then turn the opposite direction and you have the pepper. I have had no problems with it.
