If you’re obsessed with cooking like we are, you no doubt have some sort of recepticle for tossing salt into your dishes.  I’ve just had the odd bowl sitting next to my stove for years. I know I should have gotten something better, but the right option hasn’t really presented itself. I’ve had my eye on a traditional "salt pig" for a couple years now, but couldn’t bring myself to pay the hefty $40 price tag. And I guess if it’s always sitting on the counter, I want it to look good too.

How excited was I to learn that our dear friends at Pomaireware have just debuted a literal, and totally functional SALT PIG! An actual pig, a good-luck, three-legged one at that made from our best-selling, you-gotta-have-it handcrafted Pomaireware.

It’s the perfect size with a slightly closed in top to hold salt for you to grab with ease. And the price is very, VERY easy too. For the Pomaireware collector, this is a MUST.

Bon Appetit!

More about Pomaireware:

Since the middle of the 19th century, Pomaire, Chile has been producing distinctive earthenware that is both functional and decorative, such as clay pots, clay casseroles. Some have features such as pigs, frogs and fish. The artisans have preserved the tradition of working with clay using the same techniques that have been handed down from generation to generation.

Each piece is dried naturally, then smoothed and burnished with an agate stone before being fired. No glaze or varnish is used. And as such, it has its own defects and discolorations that in no way affect the performance of each piece. That is why throughout Chile it is difficult to dine without something in a Pomaireware clay bowl or pot.
