We always have a 3 lb. box or two of the Morton Coarse Kosher salt. Hubby keeps some of the coarse salt in a grinder, some he uses straight out of the box. He also keeps a Pampered Chef glass prep jar full of already ground coarse salt. The jar comes with a lid and sits on the table when we eat and near the stove when he's cooking. It's near the cutting board when he's prepping a meal.
