Does anybody use powdered salt?

We were in some fast food joint and out of the corner of my eye I though I saw somebody behind the counter shaking powdered sugar on the french fries. If I saw what I think I did, it was powdered salt. Suddenly it made sense. Regular or coarse salt just falls off. I've been using coarse salt in my little spice grinder to clean it and then throw away the very fine salt it produced. I have some super coarse sea salt that's used in a salt grinder which I've never used, so I ground it up. I haven't tried it on anything yet except for some unsalted peanuts. It worked great, most stayed on the peanuts. Oh, and I used some in a Bloody Mary....it dissolved almost immediately. Next thing I'll try is home made croutons and popcorn.

Does anybody here use powdered salt? If so, on what?

Thanks,

It's popcorn salt!

Ditto Stuart. I have some popcorn salt, too.

Did you buy it or did you grind it yourself? Does it have other flavoring in it?

Thanks,
Linda

I bought it. Morton. In a little version of the normal cylindrical salt box.

Just watched Good Eats salt show over the weekend and Alton keeps pickling salt around for times when finer grain is called for. I know fries was on the list, should have paid closer attention to the rest.

You bought powdered salt? I suppose that's not on the level of buying pre-ground pepper, but you're such a resourceful guy I wouldn't have expected it. A minute in the spice grinder (actually a Kitchen-Aid blade coffee grinder) and I've been very happy with the result.

Good for popcorn, but essential for making butter (unless you like salt grains in your spread) and adding salt to cold marinades.
