hmmm
they look like eggs
lol
no I'll pass

I'd end up spilling salt and pepper all over the kitchen!

Salt, at least, will end up absorbing humidity out in the open like that. Makes me angry just thinking about it.

Yeah... I would probably just make a big mess.

My mom has something similar for her Fleur de Sel that she bought in France. It's cute.

I think Nigella does use some of the products she's designed in her home. Before I knew who she was, I stumbled upon her line of cooking tools. At the time, it was hard to find any of her stuff in the US - it had to be ordered from the UK. She had a wonderful cup and saucer set that I was searching for, and I came across an article of how she had come up with the designs.

I love the piglets, but like psychobabble I'm pretty sure I would make a mess with them.

As someone who's been avidly searching for the perfect salt cellar to have during my cooking, I kinda love them. I don't know if I'm in love with their egg design, but the idea is pretty cool.

Idea is fine, design is not and I agree you need a salt box with a lid and my pepper grinder works just fine.

its cute but nothing I have to have. The overall design isn't something I would like, I don't like it all out in the open.

I can't say they'd end up with salt and pepper in them, but I love the concept and would prolly love them in a black or steel grey, and I'd put little candies in them that wouldn't absorb humidity especially since I'm southern girl.

I love them. There are a few dishes I serve with little piles of salt for sprinkling, instead of salt shakers, so I could see these coming in handy. I prefer sprinkling to shaking myself.

I already use a salt "pig" similar to this and love it for keeping coarse salt handy. I haven't had any problems with humidity affecting the salt like some posters mentioned, and I live in the deep south where it is extremely humid.

I have a salt pig, and I love it! It works so well while cooking, and I think these are adorable! I already have the NL egg shaped mixing bowls and some measuring cups, so I NEED these! Thanks so much for posting!!

I kinda prefer the salt pig that Alton Brown uses...although it's more of a container than a true salt pig...

Man! I thought it would be 'Piglet' you know? Winnie the Pooh...bait and switch!! lol

I have one that is similar and have found it very useful in the kitchen. The salt hasn't dried out although I've had it in there for a while, and my friends have all had the same positive reviews about it. But in terms of aesthetics, I think it could be bumped up a notch.

keischoon

i'm undecided about this actually. i like the idea for the salt but i'm not sure that it makes the most sense for pepper...

thats...pretty cool actually

No no and no. I would have a mess all over the place. AND I would have to keep refilling the salt because I use half a pound of it in everything I eat. Plus, I would rather not have people's grubby hands soiling my condiments. Maybe it's just me.
