RSVP Stainless Steel Endurance Salt Server with Spoon

My son has this but got it years ago, can’t believe it’s still out there to purchase. Love the product. Great price.

Perfect

Well built quality

well builtmade of glass and stainless. Got this because the natural Baja sea salt I got does not shake well from a salt shaker. I did not want all the added anti caking agents and other stuff I had been using in my regular salt. This is perfect. Just fillit up and keep it next to the stove for a pinch of salt anytime I need it while I am cooking.

I had my salt in a bowl with a glass lid - finally dropped the lid a few weeks ago and shattered it. So I figured, I should find something with a hinged-lid to replace it.This does the job, in some ways. The bowl capacity is good, and the lid forms a good seal on it when closed. It's easy to open one-handed, and the lid will stand open so you can "Pinch" some salt out without having to hold the lid. That is all fine.The irritation is that the glass bowl, doesn't "Fasten" to the base at all - it just rests on it. Removable is good for cleaning, but not so good for using - so if you, say, try to pick this up by holding the bowl - well, it's not going to do well. Just a matter of adjusting to using the handle to pick it up, I suppose, but I would like to see the bowl fasten more securely rather than just resting in the base.Overall it's working, but if I find one with a better design I'll pick it up.

Salt ServersIf like me, perhaps you have seen the salt servers shown on Alton Brown's programs or listed in his book "Gear for Your Kitchen". We found two items on Amazon. Viewer reviews suggested that both seemed to be the salt server used by Alton Brown. Well I bought one; and then bought another that we found on Amazon. Once received some issues existed with the first item purchased. Better details apply to the second item. Neither item includes any logo similar to the Amazon description.I plan to use both items, perhaps one for sea salt and the other for Kosher salt. My spouse will decide the uses but first let me describe some differences.First I bought a a salt server listed in Amazon as "Salt Server / Cheese Bowl / Condiment Serving Bowl & Spoon Set - Fine Stainless Steel Serveware for Your Home" for $20.00. Some aspects of this product an opening in the top for a spoon and a spoon like a desert spoon that extends through the top lid with no seal around the spoon or the lid. This item was received around 24 March, 2011. My spouse applied plastic wrap to keep some of the moisture out of the salt. This item may remain a salt server; or my spouse may find a better use.The Amazon description reflects functions for "serving gourmet sea salt and kosher salt by your counter-top". The description also mentions "serving Parmesan cheese for your Pasta, sugar for your tea, cranberry sauce for your turkey, chocolate sprinkles for your ice cream, Jalapeno peppers and salsa for your Mexican dishes, and condiments on your dining and buffet table." This sounds better than using it for salt.Then I bought the "RSVP Endurance Salt Server with Spoon" from Amazon for $18.95. The purchase dates are the key for differentiating the two items. This item was received 12 April 2011. No hole exists in the lid for the spoon. The spoon is much smaller and fits inside the container. The lid has a gasket. In my humble opinion, the RSVP model would be the only item to buy as a salt server although each could be used for other applications. I give the RSVP item high marks, and less for the other.

I use baking soda to brush my teeth and like to keep it in the bathroom, but the box isn't pretty nor does it keep the soda dry. This lovely and functional little container does! Liked it so much I wanted one for the kitchen for celtic sea salt. It is the really wet kind of salt but, unfortunately, this container isn't air tight enough. Disappointed, but it's easily adaptable for herbs, loose tea or even after dinner mints. I'm keeping it!!

Works simply well. Lovely design. Removable glass container. Tiny serving spoon superfluous, stick with pinching...JS
