Sure you can, but you shouldn't... rock salt is not fit for human
consumption... rock salt is mined salt before purification... even contains
bits of rock that will ruin your salt mill... used to melt road ice and will
say on the label "Unfit for Human Consumption". Ice cream machine salt is
finer than rock salt; sometmes fit for human consumption but sometimes not...
read the label. In any event I don't see teh point in bothering with a salt
mill for grinding ordinary salt unless you're looking to fool your guests into
thinking they'rd getting some rare speciallty salt... if you're that friggin'
cheap buy water softener salt, a large crystal 50lb sack will set you back a
cool six bucks.
