I remember Sheldon asking who on earth would ever need a salt grinder?
Then again, he also claimed he never added salt to anything he cooked,
claiming food should be *salted at the table*.  Nonsense.  You get none
of the nuances of a little salt added during the cooking process.
Properly done, the salt shaker/grinder on the table might just be a
decoration. :)

I minimise the amount of salt used when I'm cooking. Even in bread,
where salt is usually 2% of the flour weight, I cut it ack to 1.5%.
It horrifies me to see cooks or celebrity chefs chuck enormous
quantities of salt in their dishes.

Look away, Graham.  I chuck enormous quantities of salt into everything.
I salt the fries at McDonald's (decennially).  I salt a BLT, because
the bacon has enough salt, but the bread, tomato, and lettuce need
more.

Although I measure the salt for oatmeal, it works out to a heaping
quarter teaspoon.
