Quick Answer
To use the Sal salt and pepper grinder, fill the chamber with your preferred seasoning, hold it upright, and twist the top to grind. Adjust the grind size by turning the adjustment knob at the base for finer or coarser results.
Why Sal Stands Out
The Sal grinder isn't just functional—it adds a playful scarecrow charm to your kitchen. Designed by OTOTO, it brings personality to everyday cooking and prep tasks, making seasoning a more enjoyable part of meal preparation.
Its design makes it easy to grip and twist, even with wet or oily hands, which is a common challenge with standard grinders.
Choosing the Right Seasoning
Sal works with both coarse salt and whole peppercorns. For best results, use dry seasonings; moist ingredients can clog the mechanism and affect grinding performance.
If you're switching between salt and pepper, clean the grinder thoroughly to prevent flavor mixing.
Step-by-Step Guide to Using Sal
- Fill the Chamber: Unscrew the top cap and fill the chamber with coarse salt or whole peppercorns. Avoid overfilling—leave about half an inch of space to allow the grinding mechanism to move freely. Overfilling can jam the grinder, so always leave room at the top.
- Secure the Cap: Screw the top cap back on tightly. Ensure it's snug to prevent seasoning from spilling out during use. A loose cap can cause messes and inconsistent grinding.
- Grind Your Seasoning: Hold Sal upright over your dish and twist the top clockwise to grind. Apply steady, even pressure for consistent results. Twisting too quickly can produce uneven grinds; go slow for better control.
- Adjust Grind Size: Turn the adjustment knob at the base to change the grind size. Turn clockwise for finer, counterclockwise for coarser. Test on a small amount first to find your preferred setting.
- Clean and Maintain: After use, wipe the exterior with a dry cloth. For deep cleaning, disassemble and rinse with warm water, then dry completely before reassembling. Moisture can cause salt to clump or corrode the mechanism, so always dry thoroughly.
