It's essential to keep an open container of salt next to the stove, since you're (ideally) seasoning to taste throughout the cooking process. Port Living Co.'s concrete pinch bowl has a solid square base that prevents accidental spillage, and the clean lines are attractive but unobtrusive—and because they come in a set of two, they're perfect for using tableside instead of salt and pepper shakers. Each bowl is treated with a food-grade sealant that is easy to wipe clean, so you can use them interchangeably for salt, spices or sugar.
