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.
