"salt and pepper, salt" news and stories

Just because the summer sun is rapidly setting and cooler days are just around the corner doesn't mean that you have to say goodbye to the good old barbecue grill. You can keep the spirit of grilling alive with these adorable little salt and pepper shakers in the shape of kettle grills. Each shaker, made of ceramic, metal, and plastic, stands 3 ½" x 2 ½" x 2 ½" on three legs, two of which have tiny wheels that so that they can roll across the tabletop. They are avilable online at What on Earth.

Who knew that something could be sleek and cute at the same time? These salt and pepper shakers designed by Henriette Melchiorsen are perfectly spherical globes of polished stainless steel. Because the shakers have extra ballasts in the bottom, they never tip over, only rock back and forth.

They're available from Scandinavian Design Center for 239 kr, which is about $40USD.

It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to...

Made by Umbra, a Canada-based home design firm, these teardrop-shaped salt and pepper shakers are made from a steel base and transparent acrylic top. They are 2" in diameter and 4 1/2" tall, but the most unique quality about them is that they dispense the salt or pepper out a single opening, instead of multiple holes. Very cool!

Umbra products can be found worldwide at home design retailers. The salt and pepper shakers are availbale online for $12.95 at Modern Motive.

Some might do just a little flick of the wrist when seasoning their foods, but if you go full-body and get into it, then you need these. I definitely need these. They are Cha Cha salt and pepper shakers, shaped like little black and white maracas. All you have to do is put on your Carmen Miranda outfit and start shaking.

The Cha Cha shakers are available at DCI, though I believe you have to call them to actually purchase.

The online store for the Museum of Modern Art has some beautifully designed things for the home and kitchen that if they weren't useful at all (another garlic crusher!) they're all little works of art.

These stainless steel salt and pepper shakers are $28 for the pair. They're sleek, yet adorable with their rounded design and "weeble wobble" effect. The base is heavy, so they never topple over.
