TikToker reveals lesser-known salt-grinder hack

TikToker @rightguysreview publishes food and kitchen related hacks on his page, which currently has more than a million followers. One of the many mind-blowing hacks he shared in his videos, was the revelation of a secret setting in salt-grinders. It turns out that not many of us were aware of it.

His video starts with him saying,

Do you know these salt shaker things? Well, did you know you can actually change it from fine to ground? I never knew that. Who knew that?

Then he demonstrates how by pushing a protruding part on the cap of some salt-grinders, you can change the fineness with which the shaker grinds the salt.

Of course, the creator also gives demo of what he is talking about, showing how the cap grinds the shaker more finely after a simple push to change the setting.

Another said,

Apparently, the hack is not useful in all types of salt-grinders. One disappointed fan wrote,

I've literally went to the kitchen to try this and my aldi one doesn't do this

There were also some people who claimed that they knew it already. One such comment stated,

Genuinely thought this was common knowledge

Another responded in a similar vein,
