Does anyone know how to get the salt out of the salt shaker?

[hedgehog]

The humidity has been running above 70% and I can't get the salt to pour. I even put some in a little salt celler so I could sprinkle the salt and it clumped up in the dish!

2. I'll ask a few grains out for a date...

Trust me, they'll come flyin' out in abject terror...

3. Fill shaker with water. Evaporate.

4. Keep some rice in the salt shaker.

The rice will help soak up the moisture.

5. I tried that once

The grains got so swollen that I couldn't get them out of the shaker with the top off! Sort of like the old lady who swallowed a fly ...

You'll just harden your arteries. :hide:

21. But I need it for the fresh sliced tomatos!

My kids freak when I sprinkle basil on them. They think it's some kind of giant green fruit fly!

12. I know people who kept a few small pieces of saltine cracker in

their salt shakers to absorb the moisture. I've used rice before and that seem to work, but our humidity isn't usually as high as 70%.

13. stop using iodized salt (Diamond crystal or Morton's)

switch to sea salt for table use & kosher salt for cooking. Neither of them seem to harden even in the humidity.

15. Rice, and don't fill the shaker.

If you use about 10 grains of rice and keep it 1/3 - 1/2 full, you should have no problems.

16. turn it upside down and shake vigorously

17. Can't help you, I'm still looking for my lost shaker of salt.

It's my own damn fault.

[Guava Jelly]

18. Weren't you just wasting away some where??

like in margarita ville or something?

[jobycom]

19. Yeah, drinkin' boat drinks, and eating (veggie) cheeseburgers in

well, some place pretty nice.

20. sounds like paradise

22. you put little grains of rice in w. the salt in the shaker

this is almost the first thing they teach you when you move to new orleans so your salt will pour

works great, haven't had a problem salting food in mumble-odd decades of living here

the rice grains apparently must absorb any liquid

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

23. "Fry" the salt.

Really. Just stir it on a really hot an clean frying pan until the moisture goes away.

24. Do you buy a box of it

and refill the shaker?

Skip the middleman, and dig that box out...
