I do not recommend doing this.
Each time I washed it salt would recrystallize as it dried, so after 3 washes I decided to soak it in a lot of water which resolved that.
Then I went to use the salt and without any salt build up it poured out way quicker and ruined my breakfast.
It keeps the salt dry and prevents clumping up. The rice
absorbs moisture quickerbinds moisture more effectively than the salt.Like putting a slice of bread in with your cookies.
What? How long do your cookies last? (We measure it in minutes at most)
This guy cookies
Never tried that
I don’t have issues with clumping, but I do salt boiling water so there was buildup around the holes.
I just washed it because the shaker top was looking gross.
The solution (heh) here is to pour some salt into a dish or your hand for salting the water, instead of exposing the shaker to steam.
Salty buildup around ones holes is never good.
Salt soaks up moisture much much quicker than rice. Rice just avoids clumping mechanically.
