Ceramic Salt Cellar with Wooden Spoon

A speckled ceramic salt cellar with a lid and a small wooden spoon. An open cellar beside the hob is how anyone who cooks regularly seasons — a pinch taken by hand, where you can feel the quantity, rather than an uncounted shake from a grinder.

The wooden spoon is not decoration. Metal reacts with salt over time and salt corrodes it; wood doesn't, which is why traditional salt spoons have always been wood, horn or bone.

Why you'll love it

• Season by feel — a pinch you can judge, not a blind shake.
• Wooden spoon — salt corrodes metal, not wood.
• Lidded — keeps steam and dust out between uses.
• Speckled glaze — plain enough to leave out permanently.

Keep it a little back from the hob. Steam getting into an open cellar is what turns loose salt into a solid lump.
