Salt containers

[JoNorvelleWalker]

 

As much as I would have liked to have photographed my new salt pig with salt, I can't find my box of salt.

This is mine.

 

Not a salt 'pig' but with its lid it saves me having to clean up the salt spilled wen I knock over the container.

These comes in sets of various sizes, often the lids are sold separately.

Useful for many things.

Have you checked the bedroom?

Of course.

 

Salt lives in the bedroom.  By daylight I was able to find the Diamond Crystal box a few moments ago.

some googling suggests that this could likely be adding the pronounced metallic taste I've been experiencing.

That could very well be because salt corrodes metal terribly as anybody that has lived near the sea or in an area where they use salt on the roads can tell you. I can't tell you how many salt shakers with metal lids I have thrown away before I learned my lesson. I keep mine in a little terracotta pot that I got at a Chinese restaurant supply store. I love it. @liuzhou tells me that it is a funeral urn but it is so small that it would have had to have been for a very tiny person.

amazon?

I can buy things from Amazon but living in Costa Rica, the price of shipping and customs is usually three times the price of the item.

I did? I don't recall that, but there are a lot of things I don't remember!

 

Do you have a picture?

It was on a thread about salt pigs if I remember correctly.

[liuzhou]

Oh yes.

 

I dont think it's that small. This one, filled with Maldon salt, is about 5½ inches / 14 cm tall and 6½ inches /  16.75 cm diameter at the top. I have three of them, all used for salt of various kinds, none iodized.

 

Maybe I meant an urn for the deceased; not a receptacle for the body! It's certainly larger than the ash urns I've seen too many of.

 

Regular table salt is also iodized here, too but not always. I have the choice, but seldom think about it. Never tasted anything metallic.

Mine is only two and a half inches tall and a little less than 4 in in diameter. They had them in four sizes and this one was the smallest.
