A salt mill is a kitchen tool used to grind salt into finer particles for seasoning food. Typically made of materials like wood, stainless steel, or acrylic, it features a grinding mechanism that allows users to adjust the coarseness of the salt. Salt mills are often filled with sea salt or Himalayan salt, which can enhance the flavor of various dishes. These mills come in various sizes and designs, making them both functional and decorative. Many chefs and home cooks prefer using a salt mill over pre-ground salt, as freshly ground salt can provide a more intense flavor and better texture in cooking and at the dining table.
