Le Creuset Stoneware 10-Ounce Salt Crock, Cobalt

I recommend this with reservations.

PRO:
- Nice size. Holds about 1 cup of salt.
- Matches other Le Creuset items you may have. Elegant appearance.
- Easy to carry around given the knob on top.

CON:
- Glazed interior...some people may find the salt clumps. Many salt pigs have an unglazed interior for this reason.
- The opening is too small to allow a medium or large hand to reach in and grab salt easily. A med- or large hand could pinch up some salt, but if you intend to use your hand to get salt, and you have medium to large hands, I would get a salt pig with a larger opening such as the Emile Henry. If you plan to always use a spoon this would not be a problem.

I was extremely disappointed in the design of this product. I love my cookwear and wanted a salt crock to go along with it. Very inconvient to use. Adult fingers do not fit into it. Salt winds up all over my counter! UGH! I went back to my old one even though it has a cover I have to remove every time I use it. Waste of money!!!!!

I absolutely love this salt crock and the cobalt blue goes with the rest of my kitchen. I am one of those people who seldom, if ever, actually measure things, in particular salt, while I am cooking; everything is either a pinch or a dash. This crock works wonderful for my style of cooking. It is heavy enough that I do not need to worry about tipping it and it sure works much better than the little dish I use to use. The workmanship and designed on this is quite good and when necessary, which is seldom, it is very easy to clean. I have other products from this company and have been happy with all of them.
