Unique Salt and Pepper Shakers
The set of shakers is uniquely handmade from 100% salt and therefore can differ slightly from each other.
Why do people put rice in salt and pepper shakers?
Salt is an hygroscopic substance and it absorbs water from the air. ( the process we use is innovative since it reduces that characteristic tremendously). When you put grains like rice or small beans, they tend to absorb the moisture more quickly, leaving the salt drier so that it flows smoothly.
What is the oldest saltshaker?
Saltshakers are relatively a modern designed objects like … cars. The first ones were designed only in the midst of 19th century. Before that period , salt cellars were in use.
Why salt is called salt?
The word salt derives from the Latin word SAL. Salt was the money in ancient times and a sack of salt- Salarium, was the payment given to the Roman soldiers. The word salary therefore derives from that root.
Salt and Pepper Set – From When Did They Become a Set?
The pairing of salt and pepper as a set is a relatively modern concept, emerging prominently in the 18th and 19th centuries. Historically, salt and pepper were not considered natural companions. Salt was essential for preserving food and seasoning, while pepper, a rare and expensive spice, was often stored separately. It wasn’t until global trade expanded, and pepper became more accessible, that the two began to be seen together on the dining table.
The rise of the salt and pepper set can be traced back to the increasing popularity of pepper in European cuisine. By the 19th century, the combination of salt and pepper had become a culinary staple, particularly in French cuisine, which heavily influenced dining practices worldwide. The pairing is attributed to Frenchman, Francois Pierre La Varenne, France’s first celebrity chef and a royal chef to Louis XIV, who encouraged folks to combine the seasonings. The demand for a convenient way to dispense both seasonings led to the creation of matching sets, often crafted from the same materials and designed to complement each other aesthetically to make elegant saltshakers.
These sets became a symbol of modern dining etiquette, reflecting a shift towards uniformity and order in the presentation of food. The salt and pepper set quickly became a must-have item in households, with designs ranging from the simple and functional to the ornate and decorative. Today, the salt and pepper set is a ubiquitous feature on dining tables around the world, a testament to the enduring legacy of this simple yet essential pairing.
FAQ
Are the products really made of pure salt?
Yes, the products are made of NaCl 100%pure Dead Sea salt.
I add natural pigments ,dried flowers or metal chips for decoration.
How come it is not melted?
Saltware is safe to exposure to heat and up to 75% humidity.
(It is important to keep the product in an environment up to that humidity degree).
This is thanks to its innovative processing.
I use eco- friendly sealer to give it extra protection from dirt.
Is Saltware breakable?
Yes, it is made of a natural mineral and may break like ceramics, glassware etc.
Since the processing is low- energy consuming ,there are no hot tempratures envolved which
makes it even more vulnerable then what it looks like. Handle with care !
How can I clean my product?
Saltware cannot be washed under flowing water or dishwasher.
For cleaning use soft dump cloth. Don’t scratch or use abrasive fabrics.
Only metal parts which can be separated, may be cleaned with warm (even hot) water.
Put the metal part in a bowl and pour hot water on it. Take out with a spoon (as the metal may become hot) and dry thoroughly with soft cloth or paper immediately after.
If the candles you have used have been dripping immensely, you can try putting the metal seats ONLY in freezer for couple of hours.
It helps detaching the wax from the metal. Use tooth stick or you finger tips. Make sure not to use sharp tools, as they would scratch the seats.
Do not put the candles on the salt-made parts-always use the metal seats.
What is the best way to keep my Saltware?
Saltware is safe to exposure of up to 75% humidity.
Beyond that it is better to keep it inside its original box.
Don’t worry – it won’t be melted even if it was exposed to higher humid level.
Just wipe the dew drops that may cling to its surface.
Nevertheless, if that occurs it means the humidity exceed 75% and it is advisable to keep it in a cabinet or in a box.
How to get stains off?
Since is is a pure clear white substance it can stained easily (just like white fabrics as cotton).
Most stains can be wiped off with soft dump cloth. Try to clean immediately after staining occurs.
Is it safe to use candles with the salt? Won’t it burn?
Salt does not burn or ignite. The cylinder shape candle holder will become pleasantly warm and may be touched -try it! You may find it even very pleasant during winter time 😊
Why do you recommend to use 100% beeswax candles?
Beeswax candles do not drip, do not soot, eco- friendly and don’t pollute.
They are better for your breathing and for the environment.
They will also keep the product cleaner and easier for taking care of.
