Mario Batali Salt Cellar

Now you may think that you have no need for this but I think any one who cooks should have something to hold their salt in beside the stove.

It's a great thing to have for salt use while cooking, instead of having to pull out a shaker and all. We have always used just a small crock to hold it but I am buying this for a small gift for hubby for Christmas. Mario Batali Salt Cellar will look so much better beside my stove than the old white crock that we always had. I love the idea of the lid and the wood will match almost any kitchen decor!
This salt, Guerande 'Fleur De Sel' Sea Salt, will make a perfect companion to the salt cellar!

Best Regards,

It's a bowl...it's a chopper (and just plain cool)!!!

Okay so today the coolest thing I could find was this thing from OXO. If you are not familiar with this brand you probably should be. They have a lengthy history of quality products that are specifically designed to help make your busy life easier. They also have a leg up on most other products because of their chunky design which make them ideal for people with arthritis in the hands and finger.

OXO Good Grips Salad Chopper and Bowl



I can see this product easily being used in my house for numerous things. The first thing I will make will be my incredible pico de gallo. I can see that this will eliminate me chopping up the onions, peppers and the cilantro. What a time saver it is already!!!
