How to store salt.
To store salt so that it remains durable and doesn't clump, you can follow the following tips.
1. Store in an airtight container.
Use an airtight container to store salt. Glass or plastic containers with tight-fitting lids are ideal to prevent moisture from getting in and causing clumping.
2. Add silica gel or rice.
Place several silica gel packets in the salt container. Silica gel will absorb moisture and keep the salt dry. Another alternative is to add a few grains of rice to the salt container. Rice is also effective at absorbing moisture.
3. Store in a dry place.
Make sure the salt is stored in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing salt near the stove or places that are often exposed to moisture.
4. Use dry leaves or egg shells.
Some people also suggest adding dried leaves (such as bay leaves) or small pieces of cleaned egg shells to the salt shaker. These two ingredients can help absorb moisture.
5. Use a metal container.
If possible, store salt in metal containers as metal tends to be more effective at blocking moisture than other materials.
6. Avoid exposure to air.
Try not to open the salt container too often so that it is not exposed to damp air from outside.
By following the tips above, you can ensure that the salt remains durable and does not clump even if stored for a long time.
