Jonathan Adler Bird Salt and Pepper Shakers

Filed under: Decor

What better for a summer table than a pair of chubby little birds that won't make a mess? Although they are cute and a little chubby, these bird salt and pepper shakers from Jonathan Adler are also modern and classy. Simplified down to their purest form and then accented with bold geometrical patterns, they have a surprising air of life and I almost expect them to bob their little heads in agreement. Created of high fired stoneware and available in either chartreuse or white, the taller one stands 3" high. $48.

Peugeot Fidji Salt & Pepper Mills

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Dining

We've seen other salt and pepper mills from Peugeot before, but the Fidji Salt & Pepper Mills offers something a little bit different design-wise. They are made out of stainless steel and matte black or cherry hardwood. Each stands 8.25-inches tall and is easy to handle, thanks to the curving, modern shape of the mill. To produce the most ideal grind and ensure even distribution of seasoning from both the salt and the pepper, each has a grinder mechanism that is made of case hardened steel. Its action causes the peppercorns to crack in half before finely grinding them. Price: $90.

Salt and Pepper Orbs

Dynamic is not a word that is often used to describe salt and pepper shakers, but these Salt and Pepper Orbs from Andi Kovel might qualify for that descriptor because they have an uncanny flowing sense about them. The glass is blown to order and each is individually shaped, so there will be a subtle variation between shakers. Like the Rocks Ice Bucket and Tumblers from the same designer, the glass used to make these is recycled and processed in a facility that is entirely wind-powered. Both the salt and pepper orbs stand about 4" high and fill from the bottom, which is sealed with a cork.

Spiced Lady Ring

The Spiced Lady Ring, designed by Chao & Eero Jewel, is one of the most unusual juxtapositions of fashion and function that we've seen in a while. The elegantly shaped 1.35-in. high ring is crafted from sterling silver and is sleek and comfortable to wear. When not in use, the ring can be used as a small, free-standing sculpture, as its flat bottom allows it to remain upright unaided.

The unusual feature is that it is also a salt/seasoning shaker. A small rubber stopper on the underside of the ring allows it to be filled with salt or other seasonings, then shake them out as you cook or to add an extra zing to a restaurant meal. Know a cook with a birthday coming up? This could be the perfect gift. There is a picture of the ring being worn after the jump. Price: $345.

Gravity Salt and Pepper Mill

Filed under: Dining, Gadgets

The Gravity Salt and Pepper Mill by Trudeau is unique in that it has no buttons. It works simply by flipping the mill upside down - hopefully over a plate of food that you hope to season - and it will turn on automatically, triggered by gravity and powered by 6 AAA batteries. The grinder can handle either large crystal salt or pepper, but it comes already filled with mixed peppercorns. It also comes in green, chrome and red, but the sleek sliver model is the most futuristic-looking, not to mention the least likely to end up with unsightly fingerprints. Price: $26.95.

Salt and Pepper by Peugeot

Filed under: Dining, Gadgets

Slashfood likes to spice up their food, and judging by the enthusiasm that they have for Peugeot's electric Salt and Pepper Mills, they don't like to expend a lot of energy to do it. Fortunately for the diner who seeks convenience in addition to good taste, these mills automatically grind up salt and pepper at the touch of a button, no twisting or shaking necessary. The mills use mechanism that is nearly identical to the one that was invented by Peugeot for the first pepper mills back in 1842. Price: $200.
