We have lived aboard for three years now, we have a plastic salt container bought somewhere in the Caribbean and decant any old salt into it, never gets damp.
A very serious question, concerning domestic economy afloat

Mirrelle. Having been plagued with the same problem for years in small boats - last year I found a 'snap-lid' container in Woolies which is completely airtight and has solved the problem completely. I will try and find the name for you. Oh, the bliss of dry salt!.

Re: The rock salt and mill theory
A metal grinding assembly corrodes instantly, of course, so one buys a plastic one, but that does not stand up to hard usage
W H Bounds Ltd, USA have in their range of grinders, wooden bodied salt grinders with ss grinding bits and those mounted in the base of the grinder on a plastic plate. Have seen them for sale in a number of countries, so suspect easily found in UK. If I remember correctly, they have a lifetime guarantee.

Re: The rock salt and mill theory
We have a salt cellar with ceramic grinders which also carries a lifetime guarantee. Brought from John Lewis last year, so it's a bit early to tell whose lifetime they are referring to......
Cost an arm and a leg, but seems to be working OK so far.

I got a plastic salt and pepper set from the pound shop in Gosport. Both salt & pepper have a lid that twists to close the holes. I half filled it in March and added a teaspoon of uncooked rice. No problems so far!
The closing lids are also handy when some idiot in a mobo throws everything off my table /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Tried the rice ploy - works for a short time.
I now use a salt mill, when not in use I keep it in a snug fit air tight container. Works a treat, even long term.
PS - Don’t salt veg in a pot of boiling water.
