I do not recommend doing this.

Each time I washed it salt would recrystallize as it dried, so after 3 washes I decided to soak it in a lot of water which resolved that.

Then I went to use the salt and without any salt build up it poured out way quicker and ruined my breakfast.

Didn't grandma tell you to put rice in the shaker?

    It keeps the salt dry and prevents clumping up. The rice absorbs moisture quicker binds moisture more effectively than the salt.

    Never tried that

    I don't have issues with clumping, but I do salt boiling water so there was buildup around the holes.

    I just washed it because the shaker top was looking gross.
