Enhance your living space with the Old Dutch Kitchen Collection Makes for a Stunning conversation piece Marvel at the Convenience in your Kitchen or any room of your home Features Brighten your kitchen and keep your salt and pepper handy with this elegant Gemini Salt and Pepper Set. Brushed Copper and brushed nickel. Lacquered to resist tarnishing. Nickel lined. While some copper salt and pepper shakers are purposefully made to look old-fashioned, this set exudes a clean-lined, contemporary feel. [+]
The shakers are made of bright, brushed copper with matte-finish stainless-steel bases and handles, a combination that can complement either copper or stainless-steel cookware. A plastic plug on the underside allows the nickel-lined interior to be filled with salt or pepper. Except for the hole patterning on the slightly domed top, each is identical. The weight of the shakers gives them a quality feel. Old Dutch International applies a lacquer to the finish that resists tarnishing and maintains the polished look. While copper cookware often comes with a lacquer that needs to be removed before use, the lacquer on the salt and pepper shakers does not require removal. Splatters from cooking can be cleaned off with a soft sponge and detergent; abrasive pads and cleansers will scratch the surface. Each shaker measures 4-1/4 inches tall and 2-3/4 inches in diameter, excluding the handle. -Ann Bieri.

Review Peugeot Malaga 5-1/2-Inch Pepper Mill, Orange / Peugeot PM22273:

The Peugeot story starts in the 19th century with, among other products, the manufacture of pepper mills and coffee grinders. More than 160 years later, the Peugeot mill and grinder are still the reference in the most famous chef's kitchens. They will delight the finest epicureans and will provide an original touch to every table. Malaga pepper and salt mills from Peugeot add a modern, lighthearted sensibility to the table. The body of each is clear acrylic, allowing quick viewing of the contents, while the top comes in a choice of black, white, and many delicious colors such as lemon, plum, and strawberry. The difference between the two mills lies in the grinding mechanism. Peugeot pepper mills use case-hardened-steel grinding heads with two sizes of grooves; the larger grooves crack the peppercorns in half and direct them into the smaller grooves, which grind them much more finely than most mills. The grinding mechanism in Peugeot salt mills is purposefully constructed with 18/10 stainless-steel, which won't corrode from prolonged contact with the salt. The top of each mill unscrews for adding peppercorns and salt, while the round ball nut can be loosened or tightened to vary the coarseness of the grind. Malaga pepper and salt mills, each measuring 5-1/2 inches in height, make exceptional gifts individually or as a set. [+]
Peugeot has been a leading manufacturer of pepper mills since the 1840s, and is a brand preferred by many restaurants and chefs. Care for a mill is easy: clean the exterior and inner chamber with a damp cloth; never immerse in water; avoid putting salt in the pepper mill, or grinding green or pink peppercorns by themselves (mixed with black is fine); and avoid damp types of salt (usually pink or gray) in the regular salt mill. Made in France, Peugeot mills are covered by a two-year replacement policy, while the grinding mechanism is covered by a lifetime warranty. -Ann Bieri.

The Soho pattern continues to reign as the leading crystal pattern from Reed & Barton. Adorning a wide range of barware, stemware and gifts, this clean, sophisticated design boasts dramatic vertical cuts that refract and reflect light. Soho's timeless appeal makes it the perfect choice for any table setting, as it's clean, simple lines complement decors ranging from the classic to contemporary. These two Soho salt and pepper shakers, crafted of heavy, full-lead crystal, are identical except for the number of holes in the top. Each 4-1/2-inch-tall domed shaker is cut with vertical lines that brilliantly catch the light and add a contemporary flair to a table. A plastic plug in the footed bottom enables refilling. The shakers complement a wide range of Soho crystal from Miller Rogaska, including serveware, stemware, and barware. Miller Rogaska Crystal is owned today by Reed & Barton, one of American's oldest and most prestigious silversmith companies. Soho, Miller Rogaska's most popular crystal pattern, makes an impressive gift, and, like all fine crystal, should be washed by hand to preserve its brilliance. -Ann Bieri.

Review MIU Stainless-Steel Roller Chopper / MIU France:

The stainless steel rolling herb mincer is great for quick preparation of herbs. This 18/10 stainless-steel rolling herb mincer reduces fresh cilantro or parsley leaves into fine pieces and can even be used to julienne or finely dice larger vegetables, such as peppers or potatoes. Rest one hand on the mincer’s rounded hood and simply roll the five wheel-like blades over herbs or vegetables to chop them. To clean, unlock and pull out the pin on the mincer’s side and the blade falls out of the bottom. You must exercise caution when handling the blades as they are extremely sharp and, unfortunately, the roller chopper does not come with any kind of a blade guard to protect fingers or drawers from nicks while it is in storage. This chopper has a beautiful mirror finish and is dishwasher-safe. -Cristina Vaamonde.

Review Mamma Ro Toscana Salt & Pepper Set 2-pc. / Mamma Ro:

Mamma Ro dinnerware is a beautiful Italian hand-crafted ceramic tableware line that is available in eight rich colors, each with slight variations in appearance that are a mark in unique craftsmanship by individual artisans. Mamma Ro's unique red sometimes experiences an extraordinary occurrence after the initial washing. Raised white lines or specks may appear on part or all of the piece. These can be simply wiped away with a damp cloth or repeat washed 2 to 3 times as necessary. These lines will disappear after a few washings never to return. This happens as a result of a slightly different firing condition at the factory and does not always occur. The white substance is a mineral component of the glaze and it is not considered harmful. The Toscana pattern was inspired by the Tuscan region of Italy which is known for it's many artisans. The rich earthtone colors reflect the "La Vita Vera" or true living philosphy of the region, especially in Florence and surrounding towns. A life well lived is reflected by a life spent in comfortable surroundings with good friends and family enjoying wonderful food and local wines. [+]
Since the philosophy of Mamma Ro was that your home should be a place for celebration of the good things in life, she created this collection of festive colors and patterns that will make any table proud of these traditions.
