The History of the Salt Grinder

The history of the salt grinder dates back to the medieval era. Before the invention of the salt grinder, salt was generally crushed or ground to achieve the desired grain size. However, the specific use of a dedicated salt grinder appeared later. In the 17th century in France, the salt grinder as we know it today was invented. The patent for the first manual salt grinder was granted to a French engineer named Nicolas Bion in 1632. This innovative grinder allowed for more efficient and convenient grinding of salt, thus offering chefs the possibility to evenly sprinkle salt over their dishes.

Over the centuries, salt grinders have evolved to include various mechanisms, including crank, pressure, and even modern electric models. These grinders are manufactured in a variety of materials, ranging from wood to metal and plastic, and have become essential kitchen utensils in many kitchens around the world.
