Customer Reviews of Mario Batali Salt Cellar
Customer Rating:   Summary: Not the best salt keeper out there- quality questionable Comment: This salt keeper is rather large but that is not my issue. The tops would not line up when closed so it is always a little off and the top salt portion completely came off a bit too easily for me. I would recommend spending a few more dollars for a better quality salt keeper. Customer Rating: Summary: Bought 2 - 1 cracked Comment: I loved the design of this salt cellar and bought two (thinking I would have one always near the stove and one for the dinner table). While I do still love the design (enough to come back to replace one), the inherant problems with wood in a kitchen is splitting due to the grain - 1 has split and 1 is perfect. Weight is perfect for one-hand use and holds about 1/2 cup on bottom and less than 1/4 cup on top... perfect for iodized salt and kosher salt at hand. LOVE the magnet closure. I love this design enough to give 4 out of 5 stars and repurchase, because I can't really fault the manufacturer for wood's tendency to split and I am in very-dry-Colorado. Customer Rating: Summary: Too heavy, too broken, too soon Comment: I have bought the cellar based on the reviews and the reputation of Mario Batali. First impression was that the cellar was too heavy with no real reason. Please be aware: the prop is huge in size, however the capacity is not. Probably there's a weight inside the bottom of the cellar, because there's a lot of space from the bottom of the salt chamber to the bottom of the cellar. Then, two weeks after I received the prop, the sliding cover just got broken, without any forcing or droping the cellar. I use only one type of salt, so the two compartments are of no real service to me. Bottom line: a BIG Regret. Now I have to buy another salt cellar. I hope to find one to really does its job: keep the salt dry, and keep itself in one piece. I won't buy any other Batali's product, unless I have a really good reason for it, which I can't even imagine right now. Customer Rating: Summary: It's a winner! Comment: This is a very nice salt cellar. The lid swings back and forth perfectly, and it's nice to have storage for two different kinds of salt. It's on the large side, but it's worth the space. Customer Rating: Summary: Looks and works beautifully Comment: What a quality product. The size of vessels are excellent. Also it is weighty so it will sit still on counter while you open it with one hand, very important when cooking More Reviews Keep your cooking salts close at hand in this salt cellar made of solid beechwood with a natural mineral oil finish. It has two hinged compartments to hold different varieties of salt. Hand washing recommended; do not immerse in water. Regularly oiling the wood with mineral oil is recommended to extend the life of the product. 
Choosing Appliance -> Servicing Your Appliance Buying this "service deal" can be expensive but if you feel happier knowing that you are protected from breakdown for a few years, shop around insurance brokers to see how prices compare. Choosing Appliance -> Hobs If you enjoy eastern cuisine, you can buy a speciality hob with a wok burner. Similarly if you are a BBQ fan, choose a BBQ grill. If you are left handed, go for front rather than right hand side controls as this eliminates the risk of reaching across the heat. If you cook for a large family, more than four rings may be useful, and if you have young children it may be worth considering paying a little extra for a hob guard or in the case of gas, choosing an automatic re-ignition or cut off device should the flame blow out.

Tips How to Maintain Appliance -> Cleaning & Maintenance Oven Never use a scouring pad of any sort to remove stubborn stains or soiled areas, since these pads scratch the finish and any future soiled areas won't clean up as well, especially with the self-cleaning models. When the oven is cool to the touch, place a cloth or sponge, dampened with warm to hot tap water, onto the soiled area and allow it to sit, for about ten minutes or so, to help loosen the soil. |
