The main cause of rust on salt grinder rods is exposure to moisture. When the grinder is used, small amounts of salt can get trapped in the crevices of the rods, attracting moisture and leading to rust formation.
To prevent rust, it is important to keep the salt grinder in a dry location and clean it regularly. After use, make sure to wipe down the rods with a dry cloth and store the grinder in a dry place. You can also try using a moisture-absorbing packet, like the ones found in food packaging, to keep the grinder dry.
If your salt grinder rods have already started to rust, there are a few solutions you can try. One option is to use a mixture of equal parts vinegar and water to scrub the rust off. You can also try using a rust remover product specifically designed for kitchen items.
It is best to use a dry, coarse salt in your salt grinder to avoid clumping and potential rusting. Sea salt and kosher salt are good options, but make sure to check the instructions on your grinder to see if there are any specific recommendations.
If the rust on your salt grinder rods is affecting the taste of your salt, it is best to replace the rods or the entire grinder. In the meantime, you can try using a different type of salt or grinding the salt by hand using a mortar and pestle until you can get a replacement.
