Where the salt bag used to live

Our salt lived in the bag it came in - folded over twice with a clip, standing next to the stove. Every time I cooked I unfolded it, dug a spoon in, folded it back. Two weeks later it had gone lumpy anyway.

This is the jar that replaced it. Glass body, stainless cap, and a lever running down one side. Press the lever with your thumb and the cap lifts, so you scoop straight out of the jar. Let go and it seals shut again. One hand, and no unscrewing a lid with wet fingers.

The body is borosilicate glass, so the heat coming off the pan is not an issue, and you can see the level without opening it. The cap is 304 stainless steel and the lid is double sealed, which is what keeps salt and chili flakes loose instead of turning into one block.

Two sizes. The 350 ml jar is 4.3 inches tall and holds about 11 oz of salt, which is plenty for one counter. The 450 ml jar is 5.5 inches tall and takes about 15 oz - better if you buy salt or flour in bigger bags. Both come with a 4.3 in (11 cm) stainless spoon that lives inside the jar.

The cap has no holes. It is not a shaker - it opens flat so you can scoop and level off, and a level spoon of salt is about 2 g, so you can follow a recipe instead of guessing.

What you get: one jar, one 304 stainless spoon and one blank label sticker for writing down what is inside. Choose the 350 ml or the 450 ml.

Leaver getting stiff after a few months

Loved it for the first two months of daily scooping. Lately the lever on the cap feels a bit stiffer and needs more of a push than when new. Still opens and seals fine, just not as smooth. Keeping it since everything else about the jar is good.

Fine jar but glass is heavier than expected

It works and the seal is tight, my salt has stayed dry. But the borosilicate body is noticeably heavier than the plastic container it replaced, and with the steel cap it's a little top heavy when empty. Not a dealbreaker, just heavier in the hand than I pictured.

Seal is great, cap shows prints

No complaints on function, salt is loose and scoopable and the press lid is genuinely handy. The stainless cap does show fingerprints pretty easily though, so I wipe it down every few days to keep it looking nice on the counter.

Sizing was on me, not the jar

I ordered the 350 thinking it would fit my narrow spice cubby, but 4.3 inches was a hair too tall for the shelf clearance. That's on my measuring, the jar itself is solid. Ended up keeping it on the counter instead and it's fine there.

Wish the spoon was slightly longer

Holds my coarse salt great and seals properly, no clumping at all after a month. My one gripe is the included spoon barely reaches the bottom of the 450 ml jar when it's low on salt. I switched to a longer one from my drawer.

Good jar, cap needs a firm press

The jar does what it says and my salt is finally out of the bag. Only note is the lever needs a solid firm press, a light touch won't pop the cap. Not a problem once you're used to it, just took me a couple days.

Second one for the spice rack

Bought the 350 ml for salt, then came back for another in the same size for smoked paprika. They stack cleanly on my little rack and the lever mechanism works identically on both. Not a shaker, which is exactly what I wanted.

Steel cap still clean after weeks

Three months of daily salt scooping and the 304 stainless cap has no rust spots or pitting, which I was worried about with the moisture near the stove. Glass has no chips either. Feels sturdier than the price suggests.

One hand while holding the pan

I keep this on the back burner side and press the lever with my thumb while my other hand is still on the spatula. Let go and it seals, no setting the lid down somewhere and losing it. Small thing but it changed my cooking flow.

Level spoon of salt is real

I bake a lot and guessing salt amounts was always my weak spot. The cap opens flat so I can scoop and level against the rim, and a level spoon comes out right around 2 grams. Recipe following got a lot more consistent.

Renter friendly and looks clean

I rent and can't drill into the cabinets, so I just set this on the counter next to the coffee maker. The clear glass and steel cap look tidy and the label sticker helps me mark what's inside. Nothing fancy, just works.

Chili flakes stay loose

Had a jar before this where the flakes fused into a solid brick within weeks. The double seal on this cap is doing its job, still pouring loose after six weeks. Glass body lets me see exactly how much is left without opening anything.

No more wet finger lid fight

I was constantly unscrewing a metal lid with wet hands while cooking and it drove me nuts. The press lever solves that completely, just thumb it open and scoop. Borosilicate glass means I can set it near the stove without worrying.

Bought the 450 for flour too

Started with the smaller one for red pepper flakes, liked it enough that I ordered the 450 ml for my bread flour. The bigger one is 5.5 inches tall and takes the whole 15 oz bag. Cap pops open one handed when my hands are covered in dough.

Sized right for my cabinet

I measured my shelf first and the 350 ml jar is 4.3 inches exactly, slides under the upper cabinet with room to spare. Holds about 11 oz of flaky sea salt which is a full bag from the grocery. The spoon it comes with is a real tablespoon measure too.

Finally ditched the bag clip

My kosher salt lived in a plastic bag with a binder clip for two years. This sits right next to the stove and I press the lever with my thumb while the other hand holds the measuring spoon. The seal actually works, no clumping after a month of daily use.
