Pepper your steak in 7 cranks instead of 70.

The perfect companion to the Pepper Cannon. Season generously with crunchy chunks or dust with invisible powder (plus everything in between).
When I launched the Pepper Cannon, people asked for a matching salt mill.
"NO", I said.
Then, like a fool I continued: "inside each salt crystal is… more salt! It doesn’t have any added flavor/aroma qualities that are improved by grinding, and it doesn’t degrade like pepper when pre-ground."
I made my case for why willing customers shouldn't want what they want, but they persisted. Fine. "If more than 300 people preorder it, we'll make it."
Surely there are no more than 72 people who want a Salt Cannon companion for their Pepper Cannon...
The list of people quickly exceeded 300, and so the process began. I expected we would swap out the burrs and turn it around within months, and we did!
17 months.
We tested burrs, coatings, bearings, metals, and the patience of many more than 72 people before producing a mill that can grind through over 200lbs of rock salt without appreciable performance loss.
The Salt Cannon has settings on both ends of the grind spectrum that probably don't need to exist. Do you need tiny amounts of fine pixie dust salt particles? Probably not. Do you need giant chunks of rock salt dispensed at nearly a tablespoon per crank? Almost certainly not. That's irresponsible. And yet, if you own the Salt Cannon you can have them.
Was making the grind range so large overkill for salt?
Absolutely.
But we have the Pepper Cannon, so overkill is probably just the right amount of kill for us
Don't worry: output decreases with grind size, so you can get the exact amount of salt you want at the desired consistency.
The Salt Cannon is smooth and accurate in delivering the right size and amount of salt, all the time. From extra fine to draw out the flavors in smoothies, to coarse on steak, it nails it reliably. Even the little kids use it and we don't worry about them dumping too much on like you'd typically get from a shaker.
Okay, I'll admit it - when I first saw the MÄNNKITCHEN Salt Cannon, I thought it was just another goofy kitchen gadget. Boy, was I wrong! This thing is seriously awesome.
First off, it's just plain fun to use. There's something weirdly satisfying about pumping the handle and watching a perfect mist of salt coat your food. My kids fight over who gets to "salt the steak" now.
But it's not just a toy. This bad boy actually works really well. No more clumpy salt or over-seasoned spots. It spreads the salt super evenly, which is great for big cuts of meat or when I'm grilling a bunch of stuff.
The build quality surprised me too. It feels solid, not cheap and plasticky like I expected. I've dropped it a couple times (whoops) and it's still going strong.
Fair warning: if you bring this out at a BBQ, be prepared for everyone to want a turn. It's a total conversation starter. I've had more than one friend try to "borrow" it permanently.
Is it necessary? Nah, probably not. But it makes cooking more fun, does its job well, and always gets a laugh. If you're looking to spice up your kitchen game (salt pun intended), give the Salt Cannon a shot. Just don't blame me when your old salt shaker starts gathering dust!
Love the salt cannon. It's the bomb for seasoning. You can easily set the grind from super fine to good size crystals.
Excellent product, high quality. Looks great sitting next to her brother , the Pepper Cannon. Thank you!
Grinds salt and matches style of the pepper canon.
