Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Totally Bamboo Double Salt Box
Customer Review: Nice looking, functional, hard to open
Summary: 3 Stars
I keep raw sugar in the bottom & sea salt in the top. Thought this would be great addition to the kitchen esp. during our hot, humid summers here in Massachusetts. While it looks nice on the counter and doesn't take up much space, a regular old salt shaker is easier to use. The lid on this cannot be opened with one hand. I have to hold this unit in one hand while twisting the top open with the other for fear of it tipping over. It does keep the salt/sugar free from clumping (so far), and while I get frustrated each time I try to use it, perhaps the tightness of the lid is a good thing. No accidental spills that way. But my kitchen is tiny and I think I'd rather be able to slide this open more easily using one hand and deal with any spills on my own. It does look very nice and holds perhaps 1/4 cup in each well. If the top slid more easily I would actually purchase a second one to hold my kosher salt and fresh pepper . Maybe it will loosen up with use. If so, I'll be back to edit this review.
July 25 edit: The raw sugar I keep in the lower portion of this salt box was a solid mass this afternoon. I still haven't managed to 'chip' it all out yet for fear of gouging the salt box itself. Short of soaking it in warm water for a while, I don't how else to get it out. Guess I won't be purchasing a second one, even if the lid opened more easily.
Oct 27 edit: kept trying in the hope the cooler weather would not let the sugar solidify to no avail. I even removed the raw sugar mentioned above and switched (for testing purposes) to regular white processed sugar. Same thing happened. Finally decided sugar just isn't the product for this and now use the bottom for pepper. Bit disappointed because I have beautiful pepper mills for the table/counter use, but don't want this to go to waste.
Description of Totally Bamboo Double Salt Box
Totally Bamboo's Double Salt Box¿cute, simple and easy to use. The Double Salt Box has an easy slide-off top that rotates a full 360 degrees and has enough space to store 2 types of spices and other items. Wide opening allows plenty of room for larger hands or spoons to reach in to grab your favorite seasoning.No stains or paint are used to create the Double Salt Box's scrumptious Honey shade. This color is created in a very specialized heating process which caramelizes the natural sugar in the wood; it is permanent and will not fade or wash out. Care: wash with warm water and mild detergent and occasionally wipe with mineral oil (Do not clean in the dishwasher). An Ecological wonder, Bamboo is a grass that grows to a harvestable height of 60 feet in 3 to 5 years. It has an extensive root system that continually develops new shoots thus not requiring replanting making it an incredible self-renewing resource and a brilliant alternative to the wide spread clear cutting of our world's hard wood forests. Do the world a favor¿ Do Bamboo.Fast-growing in nature, bamboo is also fast-growing in popularity as one of the best renewable resources available. Totally Bamboo prides itself on using only hand-selected, China-grown "moso" bamboo, which is not a food source or habitat for the giant panda, and which grows to harvestable size in just 3 to 5 years. Totally Bamboo follows strict environmental guidelines for processing and fair labor policies for its workers. And, the toxin-free products contain no dyes, stains, or glues containing formaldehyde.
This double-section bamboo box attractively stores different types of sea salt, spices, or what-have-you, on the kitchen counter or right on the table. You can even use it for holding jewelry on a dresser. The lid and sections pivot around a central stem a full 360 degrees for easy access. Along with natural variations in color, an oven-heating process caramelizes the natural sugars in the bamboo and produces the warm honey tone of the box. And, because it's harder than wood, bamboo won't absorb water, crack, or peel, and can be sanded if need be. When necessary, simply wash the box lightly with warm, soapy water, and wipe now and then with mineral oil. --Ann Bieri
