I have my AF sitting on a thick chopping board

Me too, we have corian bench tops and the fellow installing them when our house was built, turned the off cuts and the bit from the sink cut out into chopping boards for me, so the AFs sit on those and it just blends in !!

I have Bacarat battery S&P mills and I like them but they eventually get a bit of rust effect on the bottom part of it.

Not used the Maxwell & Williams battery S&P before but for $18, I'll give it a go so bought two for new house storage box - available in colours.

That's a lot of batteries. I remember using one like that at a friend's once and the battery fell out into the soup

batteries are locked up inside pretty well... so at least no risk of landing in your soup (unless you drop the whole thing in, of course)

We used to, until I picked it up one day and found that it was cool as underneath when running. Don't bother now. Of course YMMV for those with other brands.

It's a lot easier using pre ground salt...

I have a board placed vertically behind mine.

Well I just learnt something new - I didn't know their website had the capacity.

Sadly the grinders don't appear in any of the searches. I'll go past one tonight on the way out

I think they are available from Saturday. Patience Grasshopper.

Thanks I was just going to go to Aldi on my way out so you’ve saved me a few minutes

Sigh - some people have too much time on their hands. Spend a few dollars at Woolies for these.

No batteries to go flat. They can be refilled and are light enough to take on holidays. MrsK is a cracked pepper afficiando and has been known to take it out of her bag to use at venues who can't offer her a pepper grinder.

We have Peugeot pepper grinder - bought at Essential Ingredient years ago - still as good as new. Salt grinder is the el cheapo Maxwell Williams I think and also still going after many years (think it was originally part of a pair but the pepper one died).

No batteries required here either:

One does have to have some standards!

Indeed, for example I like that each of my grinders have 4 settings so you can vary the size of the salt & pepper coming out.

I actually quite like manually grinding the salt over the meal prep. Makes me feel cheffish.

Electric ones have continualy variable grind size!

 

[Buzzard]

I just rarely use salt.

Going a bit OT here, but, what are the (health) benefits in adding salt to meals?

I've commented on this in the past. Many people don't eat enough salt - especially the iodised version. Eat a bit more salt if like me you get leg cramps. After adding a bit of salt on advice of vascular surgeon friend , the cramps went away. He gets a few pts come to him with this complaint - the original thought was poor circulation. My Bp didn't go up.

And iodine important for kids development and reducing incidence of goitre
