I have to admit, until today, I’d never in my life seen or heard of a salt pig. Never. But, now that I’ve learned, I’m a believer. In case you’re ignorant to the charms of a salt pig as I was, they’re handy little pots like the one featured above from CyberCucna ($7.99) that give you easy access to salt while you’re cooking. That’s what that big, gaping hole is all about–your hands can easily slide in for a pinch or, if you’re a clean freak, you can use a spoon.

But that’s not all (that’s my infomercial voice), that opening also allows air in, creating a dry home for salt, which is good because moisture is definitely the enemy of America’s favorite seasoning.

Plus, there are lots of really cute ones:

 

Emile  Henry Provencale Collection, $33.95

Woodard & Charles 3-Piece Set,  $14.95

Sur La Table Stoneware Salt Pig, $9.95

Emile Henry Provencal Lasagna Dishes meet all my requirements for bakeware. Number one, they come in happy colors. Two, they’re handcrafted from Burgundy clay, which means they won’t crack on you and it heats evenly. And three, they’re on sale at Sur La Table–15 x 10 are $39.96 (was $55) and 12 x 8.5 are running $29.96 (was $40). Get ‘em while they last.

Sur La Table Rainbow Wood Scoop, $7.95-11.95

I’ve got to say, it’s a rare occasion when a scoop catches my eye, but this Rainbow Wood Scoop from Sur La Table is pretty remarkable. It comes in 3 tbs. and 1.5 ounce sizes. Isn’t it darling? Wouldn’t you love to scoop you coffee or flour with it? Now that I’ve seen it, I don’t think I can live without it.
