Restaurant-Grade Lye Flakes

Coarse-ground sodium hydroxide flakes in a sea-salt-style grinder.

$28.00 / 6oz grinder

Restaurant-Grade Lye Flakes are coarse-cut sodium hydroxide presented in a refillable wooden grinder, just like the one your favorite Italian restaurant uses for sea salt. Indistinguishable, in fact.

We recommend keeping yours in its own dedicated drawer, far away from the actual sea salt grinder. You should also label both with masking tape. Several times.

Featured in our 2009 cookbook, *Pinch of Lye: A Major Wallace Fenwick Anthology*, now out of print due to a recall.

Do not store in same drawer as sea salt. Do not store in any drawer with food.
