I have one for salt. It stays out. It is not covered. I find it very
handy. I usually use fresh ground pepper. The grinder is next to the salt
bowl.

I worry too much about dust and cat hair.

All my stuff is in shaker type containers. The most oft' used ones do
stay out next to the stove and they are covered! Even the ones that need
"pinching". such as sage and other herbs.

Salt is too easy to sprinkle and pepper needs to be fresh ground.

I have dogs not cats :-)
Both dogs have long, black hair and they don't get on the counters. If
their hair the salt I would (probably) see it. I never have.

After reading more of this thread, I actually do have a small set of
glasstic bowls from the asian market I use to put everything into right
before I cook when I'm preparing something elaborate...

I just never use them for salt or pepper.

that's what the dogs want you to think. they get up on the counters
at night when you're not around.
