- Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2023I searched for a while trying to choose the right salt pig for my kitchen. The photos do not do this item justice. The actual item is so much more elegant, smooth and may I say more feminine than Bob the Builders plumbing-type photo. I can recommend this salt pig to anyone who wants to add a touch of class to their Kitchen.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2024Salt. Very classic contsiner
- Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2022I know nothing about salt pigs. I was captivated by its simple and graceful design so I bought it as a gift for my son in law who's a chef. As he's yet to receive it i must withhold any judgement on its usefulness or functionality..
- Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2022Little did I know when I finally broke down and ordered it that it would be so useful. Hubby had to be on low/no salt diet and after doing some research on dietary hints, by using the salt pig and a pinch of coarse salt that one actually ends up using less salt which makes the diet easier to work and foods still taste good. I really feel that it has been a great help in making meals tastier and has helped reduce fluid retention at the same time. Great investment.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2023For years and years I didn't put salt on anything because I had heard it's bad for you. I also suffered from muscle cramps. I went to see my family doctor for something and had a muscle cramp. We talked a little bit, checked my blood pressure, and he told me to eat more salt. He says you want to eat enough that you do not have muscle cramps and not so much you are sweating it out in your clothes. He recommended sea salt because it contains minerals that help balance your blood pressure. He did warn me that if I stop exercising so much both work and play, that I should reevaluate how much salt intake I have and monitor my blood pressure.
I love the pig. We used them in cooking classes, and are great for the larger crystals in the sea salt I use. Unlike a shaker, I know exactly how much salt I am using.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2018This interesting “salt pig” is to be a Christmas gift. It’s very sturdy and bright, and the recipient likes to cook, so I’m sure it will be appreciated. The odd name is a very old Scottish word for “clay vessel” — thanks for clearing this up for me, Wikipedia! It’s the ceramic material that absorbs the moisture from the salt and prevents clumping.
Also, I love, really LOVE, that it is made in France, where so many of the world’s best cooks reside. Merci bien Emile Henry!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bonito y muy cómodo de uso.
Me ha encantado. La forma, el acceso a la sal. Queda bonito en la encimera. Un salero estupendo.
- QynReviewed in Canada on February 16, 2022
5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Simplicity
A nice, well-sized, well-made, well-packaged ceramic salt pig. Colour is rich, inside is unvarnished, and it feels like quality. Worth $60? That's up to you; it's very much a piece you would want to keep for years/decades in your kitchen, but there are absolutely less expensive salt storage solutions available. I live in a dry climate so moisture isn't a concern so this being open is a non-issue. Overall made my kitchen look just that much more attractive.
