Description
This is a pair of wooden salt and pepper grinders, made mostly from rubberwood, and their shape is what sets them apart: each body rises in three rounded tiers stacked one on another, finished with a small ridged knob at the top. Each grinder stands 13cm tall and is 7.5cm across, a compact size that sits comfortably in the hand. The pair is multicoloured, with the two grinders in clearly different wood tones, so salt and pepper are easy to tell apart without a label. The capacity is given as 55ml.
They belong wherever food is seasoned: beside the hob while you cook, then carried to the dining table for the meal. At 13cm tall they are short enough to stand on an open kitchen shelf between uses, or to tuck into a cupboard beside the oils and spices. The rounded, stacked outline sits well in a kitchen with plenty of wood and stoneware, and the pair makes a thoughtful housewarming or wedding gift for someone setting up a first kitchen, because it is useful every day and needs no explaining.
Rubberwood is a close-grained hardwood, which suits these smooth rounded curves, and it is finished here in a food approved clear varnish that lets the grain show through on both grinders. The rest of the material is stainless steel, aluminium, ceramic and polypropylene, at 5% each. Neither grinder goes in the dishwasher, the microwave or the oven, so keep them on the worktop and the table rather than the draining rack. The weight given is 0.57KG. For styling, keep the two side by side: the contrasting tones read best together, and the stacked curves look most at home as a pair on a shelf or at the centre of the table.
