We love this salt vault! It's exactly what we were looking for at a fantastic price! Hold just the right amount of salt to be useful, cleans easily, looks great on the counter next to the stove.

I'm a sucker. Alton Brown uses one of these. I bought it as a gift for my wife. Umm, ... it holds the salt ... and keeps the dust and grease and stuff out.

We use this to dispense salt. It's attractive and well-made. It is easier to "pinch" out the salt from this server when cooking, yet it also functions well on the dinner table.

As another reviewer pointed out, this is NOT the same salt cellar as AB uses. I have both, and this one is better.

Unlike AB's this one has a silicone gasket on the inside of the lid, which effectively seals out moisture, and more importantly, smells in.

I purchased this one to use as a sugar bowl, hoping the seal would keep the ants out. My previous sugar bowls did not have air-tight lids and had to be retired during the summer, lest we find black six-legged critters happily munching on the contents. For the past two summer "ant seasons" this bowl has kept the critters at bay.

While AB's is fine for salt, this would be better than his for that, too.

Choosing between AB's and this one? I recommend this one. Well worth the extra $1.06!

I wish I had noticed the other reviewer. The "handle" is straight and flat. You can't easily hold onto the handle and open with one hand, then season with the other hand. The handle needs to be looped or curved. Know that before you buy.

I got one because Alton Brown uses one, and its great to have on the table. I wish it had rubber feet, though, because its just bare metal at the bottom which will scratch your tabletop. As a fix I went to a hardware store, bought a sheet of cork, and glued it on. However it really should come with something to protect the surface it sits on.

I do tend to read other customer reviews before ordering. Some reviewers stated that this server was hard to hold and others said it did not have a thumb tab on top for opening, it does.

I can't imagine a better product, unless the server was made out of solid stainless. But then again, it would cost much more than this one and you really can't tell from the top unless you turn it over to look at the bottom side. Of course you wouldn't want to do that when it has salt in it.

Price was okay, delivery was fast, product seems to be good. I took the gasket out for an initial cleaning and it was impossible to get the little nibs back in the holes. I hope the gasket will stay in place. Please advise future buyers to never remove the gasket.

Does what it's supposed to, and looks good doing it - I particularly like the silicone seal around the top to keep humidity out of the salt.

Why 3 stars? One star off each for:
- Didn't come with the spoon like the picture said it was supposed to

- The glass isn't clipped to the metal. I had a couple close calls when holding it with my fingers from underneath and the glass popped up out of the metal surrounding it until I trained myself not to do that.

It's exactly like the picture, maybe a little bigger in person. Also cant tell from the picture but in has a clear rubber seal on lid which helps. Very pleased with purchase. Spoon does fit when you close lid.
