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.
I have my managers the pepper cannon last year and their families appreciated it so much I got them the salt cannon with a bag of great salt. Now they have the matching set which I know their wives also like!!
Yeah, this is nice. I had high expectations after years of use with my pepper cannon, and this exceeded those expectations. Now I have the whole set, including the little travel guy.
I have 2 Pepper Cannons, and 2 Salt Cannons. These grinders are high quality, and never disappoint. I love the quantity that they put out with little effort.
I spent hours a few years ago looking for the ultimate pepper grinder, and found it at Mannkitchen. And then they introduced the salt cannon. To date I am not sure which of these two are my favourite piece of kitchen equipment. And I have gifted these to numerous members of my family and friends too to spread the love.
Family of professional chefs here and we just love the smooth functionality and the grind on the salt. Will have this FOREVER!!!
