Like many other reviewers, I first saw one of these on Alton Brown's show and wanted one.Having a salt cellar like this is so much more convenient that using the box or bag the salt comes in.This is the nicest one I have been able to find.To summarise the good points others have made:- well made with a silicon gasket to keep contents dry- attached hinged lid flips open easily- easy to clean- stylish enough to leave on the counter or use on the table- good size: holds large quantity and easy to get your hand into the bowl for a pinch of saltSome people have complained about the hinged handle not being curved and being difficult to use with one hand (while grabbing salt with the other hand). I don't have this problem - I find it easy to lift and open the bowl with one hand while seasoning with the other. Perhaps if you have small hands or don't have a strong wrist it might be harder, as it can be a bit heavy when full.As for the spoon, yes it is too small to use for seasoning a pot of food when you are cooking, but that's not its purpose. A "serving" spoon like this is meant to be used to season individual servings of food, on your plate, at the table. I'd much rather use a measuring spoon or my hand anyway - and I would rather have a bowl like this with a tight seal to keep out moisture and dust than one with a slot in the lid to accommodate a tiny spoon.

Works simply well. Lovely design. Removable glass container. Tiny serving spoon superfluous, stick with pinching...JS

It's easy to open. Beautiful sitting on the counter. Wide enough to use measure spoons or my fingers.

I had my salt in a bowl with a glass lid - finally dropped the lid a few weeks ago and shattered it. So I figured, I should find something with a hinged-lid to replace it.This does the job, in some ways. The bowl capacity is good, and the lid forms a good seal on it when closed. It's easy to open one-handed, and the lid will stand open so you can "Pinch" some salt out without having to hold the lid. That is all fine.The irritation is that the glass bowl, doesn't "Fasten" to the base at all - it just rests on it. Removable is good for cleaning, but not so good for using - so if you, say, try to pick this up by holding the bowl - well, it's not going to do well. Just a matter of adjusting to using the handle to pick it up, I suppose, but I would like to see the bowl fasten more securely rather than just resting in the base.Overall it's working, but if I find one with a better design I'll pick it up.

I use baking soda to brush my teeth and like to keep it in the bathroom, but the box isn't pretty nor does it keep the soda dry. This lovely and functional little container does! Liked it so much I wanted one for the kitchen for celtic sea salt. It is the really wet kind of salt but, unfortunately, this container isn't air tight enough. Disappointed, but it's easily adaptable for herbs, loose tea or even after dinner mints. I'm keeping it!!

I bought this because my previous cellar broke, and I had been eyeing this one for a while. It has lived up to all its descriptions. It is very easy to clean with the separate glass bowl, which also makes it easy to pour salt when I needed a fair amount. The rubber seal on the lid keeps the salt dry and the flip top, and really the entire metal base is very sturdy and solidly constructed. It is very easy to operate one handed, which is great when you are moving quickly through what is being cooked. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a solid salt cellar, and honestly, this could be used for anything not just salt.

This is by far the best salt bowl you can buy. Perfect in both form and function. I loved the one I bought for kosher salt and I bought another one for holding MSG!

Perfect. I couldn't be more pleased with this salt server. I've looked at several in cooks' supply shops, I even bought a different one from Amazon which had equally good reviews, was less expensive, but in use, not so great. I should have gotten this one in the first place. I prefer the lid without the spoon notch. The lid sits level on top of the glass container, keeping the salt more or less, dry thanks also to the silicon seal. The handle is such you can pick it up with one hand to flip the lid. A plastic stabelizer piece in the handle helps with that. Sturdy and shiny, well finished. Unless you're ham-handed, it will last a lifetime. (ps. you Alton Brown fans. I have seen Alton use this particular model on his show, although he has used three different ones. Believe me, I have scrutinized every episode and he's probably laughing at us for wanting exactly what he uses as if it'll make us better cooks!) (BTW. DON'T try to fry bacon in your waffle maker. It's more trouble than it's worth.)

I tried to find a salt cellar after watching some Alton Brown "Good Eats". It was surprisingly difficult - most brick and mortar stores cell the ceramic version (doesn't have lid, looks like a bent PVC pipe) that were unweildily to use (despite having long thin fingers).I've had the one I bought from Amazon for more than 1 year now. I have lost that little metal spoon that came with it (I would probably say within the first week). Everything works like the day I got it. The silicon gasket seals the salt and even though it is placed near the sink and stove, the salt stays nicely dry. The finish (stainless steel maybe?) is holding up well, and cleans up well.My only complaint is that this product for some reason goes on and off availability - I tried to pick one up for my parent's house and it was not available.

Great item I wanted a salt pig with a lid to stop bugs & dust this does the job, Well made and love the spoon that comes with it. So pleased I found it on Amazon as its so hard to find a pig with a lid. Fast delivery would recommend.

We absolutely love these (we bought 2) For crushed sea salt and crushed pepper. Excellent quality and looks lovely on the dining table.

Excellent product, well made and they hold a large amount of salt and pepper so you are not having to constantly fill them up. Go great with any decor. Delivery was quick, like always with Amazon.ca. Price was right as well. Couldn't be happier.
