Why The Salt Cannon Is Better

I Never Thought I’d Make It

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 People Had Spoken

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 World’s Most Unnecessary Grind Range

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.

FAQs

Why a Salt Cannon?

During the Kickstarter for the Pepper Cannon, many people asked for a matching Salt Grinder.

Why pay a lot of money to over-salt my food?

Don’t.  Get a Salt Cannon to season your food with the exact amount of salt you want, at the texture you want.  (And to have the perfect companion for your Pepper Cannon)

Seriously-doesn't it put out a lot of Salt?  Maybe too much?

The Salt cannon is optimized for grinding salt, not for increased output (like the Pepper Cannon).  Due to the burr geometry it’s about 30% slower than the Pepper Cannon.  Like the Pepper Cannon, output decreases with grind size, so you can reduce the output to a nearly invisible whisper of salt powder if you want.  Or a raging waterfall of salt chunks-up to you.

Can I grind pepper in a Salt Cannon?

Yes, at about 70% of the speed.  Ironically, the Salt Cannon is probably the second fastest pepper mill around.

Can I get the Salt Cannon in a different color?

Not at this time.  

Is there a warranty?

Yes, the Salt Cannon is covered against defects materials and craftsmanship for 1 year.

Salt and Metal. Will the Salt Cannon rust/corrode?

Eventually, yes.  Salt, oxygen, water, and most metals react with corrosion/rust eventually.  The aluminum parts are hard anodized to prevent this reaction, but scratches can expose the Aluminum and result in corrosion.  The steels used inside are stainless, but even stainless steels have a limited lifespan in a salt environment.  We combat this eventuality by making parts built of corrosion resistant materials that are user replaceable, so that if properly maintained the Salt Cannon can last indefinitely.

Where is the Salt Cannon Made?

MÄNNKITCHEN is a US company and we work with many different suppliers. We have our Salt Cannon manufactured by an exceptional partner in China. It's very difficult to find quality manufacturing partners that provide both outstanding quality and value. We are always looking for top shelf suppliers and if you know of-or represent one, please contact us!

When will The Salt Cannon arrive?

Pre-orders containing the Salt Cannon have a published ETA of Fall 2022 (all items in an order ship together), and shipping notifications will be sent automatically once it’s on the way. Thanks for your patience!

How is the Salt Cannon different than the Pepper Cannon?

Titanium and ceramic parts replace many of the stainless steel parts which makes the Salt Cannon more expensive to build. For now it's priced the same as the Pepper Cannon.

Almost perfect

After having this for a few years, I can say that while it may be completely unnecessary to have a super high end salt grinder, it IS really nice to have and even nicer to complete the set. It's super easy to set the grind, it's easy to fill, easy to grind and it looks great.

The only nagging problem is the o-ring retention for the base. It's not a deal breaker, but it is an annoying multi-faceted problem. I don't know whether it's due to electro-static attraction or perhaps due to humidity, but the salt grinds will inevitably stick to the I.D. of the grinder outlet. The moment they do, you can't press the base onto the grinder anymore, it's easier to twist it on. Once you start twisting the base on, the salt abrades both the o-ring and will start to wear through the anodizing on the mating surfaces. Salt, humidity and bare aluminum aren't a great combination over a long period of time and there will eventually be some pitting and corrosion.

If this were my product, I would do a slight re-design to make use of the space in-between the three mounting screws to make a magnetic interface rather than using an o-ring. It would add some milling operations, but IMO it would be a better product.

Isnt quite as premium as the pepper grinder

I got the pepper grinder and its amazing so I splurged on the salt grinder when the amazon prime sale came up. As other have stated in their comments, the salt grinder is not as nice as the pepper. The bottom does not fit very well (too snug) and the rubber o ring is made of a much cheaper material. Overall I am happy with my purchase.

Best Salt Grinder Ever

I am a huge fan of freshly ground pepper and Himalayan sea salt. Over the years, I’ve gone through many store-bought products. None of them seem to last or have very limited adjustability.

I was gifted the pepper cannon by a friend and immediately fell in love. Of course, had to get the matching salt cannon and could not be happier with these products. The styling is incredible. The adjustability is fantastic, and the workmanship is of the highest quality. Furthermore, customer service has been impeccable.

Would highly recommend this to anybody looking for a high-end product.

Awesome quality

I purchased a Pepper Cannon a few years ago and absolutely love it. (I even gifted one to a friend who likes to cook). I’ve been refilling a cheap plastic salt grinder with smoked salt I use when grilling and noticed the plastic grinding teeth were wearing down, invariably adding some plastic to our meals. There was no question what I was going to upgrade it with. Like the Pepper Cannon, the quality is unmatched and the pair look great together. Can’t beat Mannkitchen’s customer service either. Highly recommended.
