coarse salt container for my wife

Why do you want to put your wife in a salt container. Look at someplace like Cost Plus for a sugar
shaker or a parm. cheese shaker (cheap at a restaurant supply house). Or use a salt pig or box. The
Baker's Catalogue has both, and beautiful, too. HTH blacksalt

I have a bunch of plastic rubbermaid containers with screw-on lids for salt, sugar, flour, etc. Look
in your stupidmarket, I'm sure you can find something.

Scroll down a little.

I love it 'cos it's got a hinge top so I can open it with one hand, and sprinkle with the other. 🙂

The actions taken by the New Hampshire Episcopalians are an affront to
Christians everywhere. I am just thankful that the church's founder, Henry
VIII, and his wife Catherine of Aragon, his wife Anne Boleyn, his wife Jane
Seymour, his wife Anne of Cleves, his wife Catherine Howard and his wife
Catherine Parr are no longer here to suffer through this assault on our
"traditional Christian marriage."

You don;'t need anything special - I recommend going to an antique or "junque" shop and getting an
old sugar bowl or some other attractive bowl-shaped item.

Someone has surely mentioned www.altonbrown.com. If you don't want to pay for the cheese dish,
though, just a simple glass bowl with a lid is what I use. I got it at Linens-n-things for a
few bucks.

Why online? Go to your local dollar store.I have 3 dollar containers,...all china-like with lids,
and I can swap them out for washing or decor purposes.Also, any sugar bowl with a lid, with a wide
enough opening to get your "pinch" would work well too. Gail~~~~~~~~~~

Do you need a special container for coarse salt? I jeep mine in a small bowl on the counter beside
the stove.

It sounds like you are looking for what is referred to as a "salt box." They were very common at the
turn of the last century and are probably reproduced today. They are usually porcelain or
lithographed tin and may be covered (hinged) or uncovered. They were frequently hung on the wall
near the stove but some were made as shelf sitters. You can find vintage/antique salt boxes in
antique stores or online at eBay.

The box the salt comes in makes the best container, in my humble opinion.

I buy my coarse salt in a 2 kilo bag. I use one of those lidded condiment bowls to keep my cooking
salt in. It has a hinged two part lid, with knobs for easy opening. Being a little messy while
cooking I think a water resistant container you can close is a must to keep the salt in (keeps
errant water/grease away from the salt). Also the condiment bowl allows easy access for getting a
pinch or handful. I find I have better control over amounts when I use my hands than when I pour or
shake stuff in. Another reason I use the condiment bowl is I had one down in the basement
collecting dust.

I use a small open wooden bowl on a shelf near the counter/stove. Then you can pick up a pinch and
bam it, just like Emeril.

Chefs use coarse salt because it doesn't stick to their fingers.

Shaker? Never.
