The Handy $40 Le Creuset Gem You’ll Reach for Every Single Day (It’s So Adorable!)
If you’re on the hunt for kitchen items that combine functionality and visual appeal, I’m not sure you can do better than Le Creuset. It’s no secret that we here at The Kitchn are huge fans of the iconic cookware brand — our team members swear by everything from their classic Dutch oven to their bread oven to their fish baker. As you would expect from the hefty prices, the enameled cast iron pieces will last you a lifetime, and you’ll want to keep them out on display just as long, thanks to their timeless look and vibrant hues.
Whether you’re looking to add on to your robust Le Creuset collection or want to start off small, I just came across an under-the-radar, budget-friendly find that you’ll use every day. Reviewers say the brand’s Salt Crock is “beautifully made” and “handy” to have nearby when cooking — and it’s only going for $40.
What is the Salt Crock?
For how much work you’ll get out of this crock, $40 is a total steal. Tons of recipes require adding a pinch of salt, and instead of attempting to sprinkle the correct amount from a shaker — running the risk of adding way too much — this device makes it easy to measure out. With its compact design that takes up barely any counterspace, you can effortlessly grab salt or any other spice of choice from the wide opening. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that years down the line, it’ll look as new and gorgeous as the day you bought it!
