Is it true that the salt and pepper get mixed in inside the container?

Not at all. You just need to be careful when you fill the grinder. Once it is filled they can't get mixed inside the container. I have had my grinder now for months and love it!

No they are kept separate. However, I would not recommend this v product asI had to return two of them as they were defective. Both of them broke and had to be returned

I use mine for two different types of peppercorn - one side black and the other side pink and have had no problem with the two mixing but salt may be a different story. Perhaps the other reviewers are not grinding in one direction? If you try and go back and forth the items will mix but if you grind strictly clockwise or counter-clockwise you should be fine.

Indeed it has happened with mine, that a peppercorn finds its way into the salt section. Joan

We haven't had that problem. And, discovered that our Celtic Mineral Salt, that absorbs moisture, works great in this and does not get stuck.

Haven't noticed that. Like it so much, purchased a second for a vacation home

They are two separate compartments. Salt has its own grinder/lid and pepper has its own grinder/lid. You can empty, fill, or clean them individually.They are open and I've noticed that they tend to leave salt/pepper in my kitchen cabinet when I place them in there.

Yes there is salt inside and they said it was Himalayan. Though I don't really know

I usually mix one container full and use almost all of it at one time, but have had leftovers that I add a new batch to without problem. I try not to mix more than I can use at one time.

It should be that way. It's coconut oil, and remains partially solidified at room temperature. Just squeeze it out as you would squeeze a toothpaste tube. Hope this helps.My husband is less of a salt lover than I am, but he agrees that the seasoning salt is perfect. We use a Whirly Pop popper. (I sometimes add a bit more table salt to my portions. <smile>

Yes it does, it works well with all recipes and variations. I use this to make crisp refirgerator pickles as well as hot packed canner style. Salt is not necessary for product to work.

Well it depend on how you 'store' it.. when you first open it, it's rather smooth, but if you let it 'dry' in the open.. it forms a thin layer of 'crust' as water dissolves the salt and eventually evaporates from it.. then u can use that as a 'scrub'. else.. it is smooth.

No. One of the two in our set works itself loose occasionally. Now that we know it can happen (the first time, we spilled pepper EVERYWHERE), we just check it occasionally and tighten it up. The other shaker doesn't have the issue, so I guess it's a quality control problem at Oxo. We still love these grinders, but it is an annoyance.

We have no trouble with the salt either but the lid to the pepper is stripped so we had to put plastic wrap inside the lid to keep it shut.

You don't have to mix it. The container is a hose end sprayer; it is pre-mixed.

I guess you could, although the salt grinder is for grinding salt, so it might grind the pepper different. Actually, I would stick to having one pepper and one salt in the same container.

I'm sorry, I really don't know. I put a clean piece of cord board in the middle, and put regular salt on one side, and sea salt on the other. So far, works great.

It is a little difficult to refill. I use a small spoon to fill it up and place the container in a dish to stop making a mess on the kitchen table. I use it for pepper only and find the salt side is more difficult to grind.

Yes; you just unscrew the metal wheel on the top and lift the salt chamber off. That reveals the pepper chamber.

I don't think so, but I habitually do it because i'm used to having to shake such things. It's a bit thick, like the viscosity of fish oil. But I believe it is uniform, no need to shake to mix.

no, but that's a good idea. I am storing salt in the one I bought and it seems to get some moisture in the jar. Let me know how it goes if u try it first.

Yes a little. I have mine on a tray on my counter and there is usually some pepper or salt under it but not a lot, more salt than pepper.
