Default 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.

Looking for an online source for a nice container my wife can put on the
counter or above the stove that stores the coarse salt she uses to cook
with. Thanks.

That "Rachel "Ray" on the Food Network, for example, has a cool one marked
"Salt".

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.

I just got the best one from Alton Brown's site. It is $15.

http://www.altonbrown.com/pages/shop.html

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.

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.

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.

Actually "saltbox" is an architectural style (a frame dwelling with two stories
in front and one behind and a roof with a long rear slope) ... the salt
container you're thinking of is called a "saltcellar"... larger ones used in
the kitchen, smaller ones for table use... nowadays the saltcellar has evolved
such that it has a cap with holes.

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

Also salt pigs. . . Cute little open fronted ceramic pieces with a small
spoon.

Here's one source:

http://search.store.yahoo.com/cgi-bi...20pig&x=7&y=11

or use this:

Many other places carry these.

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

That's right. The salt pig was in the second house the wolf blew down,
wasn't he/it?

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.

I bought some kosher (David's) and it came in a neat plastic container with
a screw off top and sprinkler. Works for me, I just refill it.

I keep mine in a cellar with a separate lid that's shaped
and painted like a 3-inch wheel of Parmigiano-Reggiano. I
got it at Sur La Table because their knockoff of Alton Brown's
salt cellar looked like a cheap piece of Sheldon. It was plugged
on the box as a parmesan cheese cellar, but, ****, who keeps
grated P-R lying around in a cellar? Don't make me laugh.

It's downright perfect as a salt-cellar though. Lift the lid,
grab a pinch, into the sauce. I even calibrated my pinches
using it.

one-finger: 1/3 tsp
two-finger: 1 tsp
three-finger: 1 tbs
four-finger: too much

Something about using more fingers lets you take a fatter
pinch as well as wider.

>What container do you suggest, oh great one of the internet
>search?


Sheldon keeps his hog's head in a pig's ass, so I think
his understanding of volume, capacity, and appropriate
usage are somewhat derated.

>Practice safe eating - always use condiments


I grilled a cheeseburger today. 80/20 g.b., a pinch of
salt and a few grinds of pepper per side, 2 minutes on
a covered 600F grill then flip and 2.5 minutes more,
placed between two slices of american-swiss process
cheese on a 1-minute grilled, sesame-seed potato bun,
with finely chopped onion, thinly sliced double-garlic
pickles*, French's yellow mustard and Heinz 57 ketchup,
and Ruffles(R) on the side. Paired with a recent vintage
Coors Original canned beer. Effing heaven.

"Takes longer to write it than to cook

* - I buy the Claussen "Hearty Garlic" pickles, then
rough-chop a few cloves of fresh garlic and throw them
in while I finish the previous jar over a few weeks.
Makes the cukes spicy and beautiful. I slice these puppies
less than a millimeter thick across the grain and put 6
or so of them on a burger. I need something to do with
the pickled garlic, though.
