What does /ck/ keep their salt in? All the pros seem to have a box with a hinged lid, but searching salt box brings up magnetic lids.

That's the gayest and retarded shit ever. Just use a shaker and stop sticking your filthy libcuck fingers into your salt

my family used this for sugar at their house for tea and coffee
some tard always puts the spoon they used to stir their beverage into it to scoop the sugar so overtime it just turns into this disgusting brown mess

[Anonymous No.13979025]

I got one for salt when you could only find them as "cheese servers" several years ago, it works great for that.

I use one of these for sugar.

Shake it into the palm of your hand and pinch from there.

[Anonymous No.13979118]

>>13979025
Do you have any tips for stopping it from sticking together? It isn't hard to unstick it with a quick smack, but if there's a way to prevent it altogether like putting popcorn kernels in salt shakers I'd like to know it.

[Anonymous No.13979195]

>>13979118
Eh, only way to do that is somehow get it fully sealed so air can't get in.

[Anonymous No.13979219]

just use a bowl or one of those flat bottomed containers that people bake mini pies in

Idk why you need a lid on your salt, not like roaches are gonna be attracted to salt or anything.

I've got ten different kinds of salt last time I counted. The stuff I cook with the most, diamond kosher, lives in my huge stone pig mortar and pestle. Some is in grinders, most is in the containers it came in. My Celtic grey sea salt is in a cloth bag in a wooden box. I only use it to finish really impressive stuff when I have people over for dinner.

[Anonymous No.13980368]

>>13980358
I used to go nuts with different types of salt
in the end all you need is something for pinching
a grinder for serving if you want, or flaky salt
and a flavoured salt, I like smoked salt

[Anonymous No.13980370]

i pour a bunch of salt into my palms and like lebron james, hurl it into the air like a cloud. Whatever falls into my food is what I use.

[Anonymous No.13980377]

>handle raw meat
>plunge fingers into container of salt

nah, use a shaker

[Anonymous No.13980410]

>>13980368
I hardly use most of it. I've just accumulated it over the years. Smoked salt is wicked. I'm gonna make some as soon as I get the last piece of my smoker.

[Anonymous No.13980440]

In the bottle it comes in.

[Anonymous No.13980508]

>>13980377
then get raw meat all over the outside of your shaker

or just keep your hands clean like you're not a complete slob

>Actually buying that stupid gimmick instead of bulk salt
Salt grinders are fucking stupid. Use kosher for general use, and natural flake for sea salt. And coarse rock salt for steak pre-cook seasoning.

>>13980601
you pay for each shitty plastic grinder? when a bag 5x the size would cost the same

you grind out full teaspoons of salt for each recipe?

you hold the thing over a pot of water, letting the moisture clog it up?

think before you talk shit

I like my setup. I used to have a slightly nicer salt caddy with tinted green glass but lost it while moving. Pretty sure this >>13978973 is the one I got to replace it and it's not the best (I completely forgot it came with a spoon; I threw that thing in the junk drawer first thing).
