Boy, I never even knew they had something like this. I normally kept my salt in a dish with a lid. Well one day I was watching YouTube episodes of, you guessed it, Good Eats, and saw this amazing salt server on the show. I decided that the one handed open mechanism was better that pulling off the lid every time I needed to salt something. It's stainless steel stand and glass dish look nice, but the best thing is the seal around the lid. The tiny spoon is adorable, but I probably won't use it much. The price was a lot cheaper at Amazon than anywhere else I looked. Most places were selling it for 25 or 30 dollars. All in all, good deal and good product.
