How to Reuse a McCormick Sea Salt Grinder
I love the little sea salt grinders from McCormick. I do not love the $2.99 price for a little bottle. I love the little mechanical grinder. I do not love throwing out something that works.
What to do....what to do?
I know...I'll take it apart while I watch David Letterman. Speaking of late night TV....isn't that Craig Ferguson funny? I only watch Dave while I wait for Craig. I miss Jay. I do not understand Conan at all.
After twisting and twisting and twisting some more I realized the top was not coming off. So lets be methodical about this. I got out a kitchen knife and pried on it. What? Oh come on.....tell me that isn't what you would do?
Well, the kitchen knife did allow me to slightly see inside the cap/grinder and made me realize that I could remove the cap/grinder if the plastic would give just a wee bit (no, I am not Irish). So I put a bowl of water in the microwave and heated up the water......not boiling but hot. You will only need enough water in the bowl to cover the plastic cap/grinder when the the bottle is placed upside down.I let the grinder sit in the water for about 5 minutes. Then I pried some more with the knife, moving the knife around the edge prying as I go. Thirty seconds later the cap was off.Now what? Besides sea salt and peppercorns....what can I put in these bottles?

My method
1. Boil water
2. Put the grinder botol upside down on ss bowl
3. Pour boiling water into the bowl. Covering all the plastic cover of the botol.
4. Wait for science to happen for about 1-2 mins.
5. Using a multitools or anything with strong edge, pry open.
6. Wow as u see the top popped open so easily.
7. Wash n dry before refill and reuse!
Now the question is, do I need to wash the black pepper before refilling it into the botol?
Idk about u but my family soak them in hot water before blend or anything. Means the packed ones not yet washed right?
Anyway I washed already la.. Just that it gonna take forever to dry
