Pepper mill, sure. The salt mill however, is completely useless. Fresh ground pepper tastes better than preground. Fresh ground salt is just finer salt. I bought both, used the salt mill twice before realizing it is just a waste of effort, and instead bought a nice salt jar and some good salt from Jacobsen's at the coarseness I preferred.

You bring forward a very good point. Why do we use salt mills then?

Because storing in large crystals:

  • reduces clumping
  • let's you buy/store one pack of salt for any preferred coarseness
  • looks pretty neat
  • is (obviously) not useless despite the popular opinion of this sub (it just has different reasons to pepper)

We use a salt mill for better quality salt like Himalayan pink salt and there are all types of other fancy salt
