Can You Put Pepper in a Salt Cellar?

Some are labeled, some have odd shapes, some contain a section for pepper and some may even have a tiny spoon attached. They're a great addition to an organized and efficient kitchen where salt is used frequently.

How do you use salt and pepper cellars?

Fingers go into an open container filled with the salt and a recipe will call for adding a two-finger pinch or a three-finger pinch of the salt. This serves as an alternative to measuring with a spoon, plus it enables a chef to add a pinch, then taste, and then adjust as needed with perhaps another pinch.

Are there pepper cellars?

Made from durable stone in a soft, creamy color, this stone pepper cellar lets you store a larger amount of pepper in one place so you can easily refill your pepper shaker or simply sprinkle as needed while cooking.
