The salt pig - an ancient device finds a modern home
We use tons of kosher salt in our cooking - almost everything we make uses it - and the need to keep the salt out all the time combined with the need to touch it led me on the hunt for what I now know is called a salt pig.
Salt pigs, cellars and grinders are finding their way into more and more kitchens, making the cooking process more fun and hopefully more tasty!!
