 NOT as pictured and cheap looking. July 8, 2010
E. Olson (Louisville)
I just received this salt server and the wife immediately shot it down as "looks cheap". A very noticeable difference in mine is that the clear rubber flange that rings the inside of the top has half a dozen small rubber anchors that push through holes on the top of the metal lid. While I'm sure this helps keep the rubber flange from falling out, the rubber nubs that are visable on the top and are NOT pictured on the online image look stupid. I am dissappointed because I am an Alton Brown lover and wanted to have the real McCoy. I'm returning it and will purchas an Olivewood salt cellar instead.
 Very good for small sauces too June 21, 2010

Alton Brown or not, I like this salt server. I have been looking for a small container for my chili oil, complete with a spoon that fits in it, so I won't have to pull out extra spoons especially when I have already used that same spoon for mixing stuff and then realizing I want to add more chili oil. It was a long search, and some of the containers/jars are just too big when all I needed was something that could handle approximately a cup of whatever. This was what I was looking for.
The stainless steel casing was very elegant, and goes well with our predominantly white kitchen. It comes with a tiny spoon (perfect for pinches) that fits in the container without having a "slot" on the lid for which serving spoons usually protrude out of, which makes it ideal for my sauce, since I'd like to keep pests and most air out.
Of course this thing is not for pouring, at least as a whole, as the glass bowl is fitted loosely around the frame. If you need to pour its contents, remove the bowl from the steel frame first. And the lid doesn't "seal" the container, merely covering it up and protecting its contents with the silicone gasket.
Overall, it's not only for salt, it's also for sauces too! I am happy with my purchase.
See my customer image for an accurate measurement of the product.

Big enough for adequate supply, lid closes well with gasket to keep moisture and dust out. Easy to clean, lid opens easily and will stay open if desired and comes with a cute little spoon for when your hands are wet. I can't think of anything more that it needs
 useful, but be careful of the bottom May 28, 2010

I got one because Alton Brown uses one, and its great to have on the table. I wish it had rubber feet, though, because its just bare metal at the bottom which will scratch your tabletop. As a fix I went to a hardware store, bought a sheet of cork, and glued it on. However it really should come with something to protect the surface it sits on.

Does what it's supposed to, and looks good doing it - I particularly like the silicone seal around the top to keep humidity out of the salt.
Why 3 stars? One star off each for:
- Didn't come with the spoon like the picture said it was supposed to
- The glass isn't clipped to the metal. I had a couple close calls when holding it with my fingers from underneath and the glass popped up out of the metal surrounding it until I trained myself not to do that.
