does it grind salt and pepper at the same time?

You turn the grinder in a different direction (right or left) to make either salt or pepper come out, so they both don't come out together. It is very convenient to have one bringer to do both, however, and is very easy to use. Be sure to watch the short video they send you and you will have no problem with assembly.

No, you turn the top one direction for salt and the other direction for pepper. At first we didn't realize that we need to remove the bottom piece or else all of the ground salt and/or pepper just gets trapped in it. It is actually the funnel to use when refilling the salt and pepper and it is just stored on the unit as the base.

Turn it one way to grind pepper and the other to grind salt. You have to remember to remove the bottom or you just get salt and pepper in it. It makes loading S&P; easier, but is a pain when using the mill.

Yes, it only has one functional setting when grinding. You control coarse to fine by length of time you depress grind switch.

No, salt and pepper grinders are not interchangeable, they have different grinding mechanisms. The mechanism in a pepper grinders are made of some kind of metal, but salt corrodes metal, so the mechanism in salt grinders are ceramic. However, this same company sells a pepper grinder in the exact same style that is also available on Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Kamenstein-5-Inch-Glass-Grinder-Peppercorns/dp/B003XQG7FU/ref=pd_bxgy_k_img_y

Yes, it does - all sorts of grinds. I have to say, I have an unnaturally deep and abiding love for this pepper grinder - it just keeps working, year after year, and is a beautiful piece of equipment. It's high on my list as a housewarming present. Never thought I could get carried away by a pepper grinder, but there you have it.

You can adjust the grind. I prefer my salt larger than table salt so it works well for me.

I know you can on the salt. The pepper is the same mechanism so I'm assuming you probably can with it to, I've just never tried it =)

No. There are rather large holes in the lid. I used Scotch tape on the inside of the lid to close off most of the holes so I could use regular salt in one. The other has coarse ground black pepper in it and does very well. These are nice looking and durable. I'm satisfied

The Grinder is adjustable at the bottom for how fine you want it to grind. If you want the peppercorns just cracked slightly I doubt it would do that. If you want it as flakes rather than powder it will do that. Help this helps.

I haven't tried mine with salt but it does do pepper with much more ease than prior auto pepper grinders I have had in the past. I would expect that it would work with salt...I have been meaning to buy a second one for that same purpose.

I do not have the salt grinder; I only have the pepper mill, so I can't answer your question.

I believe the only difference in the salt grinder is it has a ceramic non corrosive grinding mechanism inside. I had both and they look the same outside.

I am using mine for salt and pepper but you have to make sure that it is a fine grind, not coarse.

I have had trouble with mine also I would choose another manufacture pepper grinder next time. I also purchased the salt grinder, while both look great it doesn't work well, leaves salt on counter after a grind. For the price was a disappointment.

Mine grinds pink salt and organic peppers. So I would say yes depending on how much and how fast you want to grind. The grinder is wonderful!!!

I have only used it for pepper, but Yes, you can set the grind to quite fine.

it is course. Doesn't matter when you put it in stuff that you are cooking. We used a mortar and pestle to grind it to put on food. Sort of a nice touch to hand grind your own salt.

Yes, mine was set that way at arrival...BEST pepper grinder ever! I am a waiter and use it at work, professional quality.
