Spice Racks Blog

So, we’ve been talking a lot about various spices and spice racks. But there are two seasonings that are universally loved in every kitchen – salt and pepper. 

For the longest time, I would never salt my food. I don’t really know why – maybe it’s because my mom’s cooking was so good, I never felt the need to salt it at the table. Then one day in the college cafeteria, I had a bite of my friend’s scrambled eggs – and they were really good! Amazed, I asked her “whoa! What did you do your eggs?”. She looked at me, in the that ‘are you mental?’ way, and said “Well, I put salt on them”. My life was changed.

Salt and pepper. The wonder twins of the kitchen. Since you use them everyday, it’s best to invest in a nice set of salt and pepper shakers. This here is the Pinata Salt & Pepper Set. This colorful wooden set  has adjustable zinc gears. That lets you control how fine or coarse you want your salt and pepper. Plus – they are very festive! They make me think of laying on the beach in the Riveria Nayarit.

If you’re looking for something a little more high-tech, there’s this Stainless Steel Electric Salt & Pepper Grinder.  This one has push button action – just hit the button and your pepper is freshly ground and sprinkled on your food. Also, this grinder has a light – perfect for romantic evenings with candlelight dinners! 

Have you seen any good salt and pepper sets out there? Let me know!
