Roundy's Select Sea Salt Grinder
What it is
This is a refillable grinder filled with coarse sea salt crystals. The grinder allows for easy dispensing of freshly ground salt, providing a more intense flavor and satisfying texture compared to pre-ground table salt. It's a fundamental seasoning for everyday cooking and finishing dishes.
How people cook with it
A grinder of sea salt is a versatile staple in any kitchen. It's used to enhance the flavor of a wide variety of foods.
- Seasoning meats before cooking
- Finishing salads
- Enhancing roasted vegetables
- Adding a pop of flavor to baked goods
To use, simply twist the top of the grinder to release the coarse sea salt. You can adjust the coarseness by turning the grinder mechanism. Use it to season food during cooking, such as sprinkling over chicken or fish before searing. It's also excellent for adding a final touch of flavor and texture to dishes just before serving, like over a fresh salad or a bowl of soup. The grinder ensures a consistent and controlled amount of salt is dispensed.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fine table salt, sea salt has larger crystals and a less uniform shape. This can lead to a more nuanced flavor profile and a pleasant crunch. The absence of anti-caking agents, common in table salt, also contributes to its natural character.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs alike rely on this grinder for its convenience and flavor.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, keep the grinder tightly closed and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Ensure the grinder mechanism is clean and free of moisture to prevent clumping. This will preserve the salt's quality for future use.
