Lehman's Salt Cellar

The swivel lid is designed for easy, one-handed access while you are cooking, so it does not feature a locking mechanism. It sits flush to keep dust out, but it is intended to be opened quickly rather than sealed airtight.

Yes, this cellar is excellent for storing frequently used spices, herbs, or even small items like peppercorns. Just be aware that wood can absorb strong aromas, so it is best to stick to one type of seasoning per cellar.

Hand wash the cellar with warm water and mild soap, then dry it immediately. To keep the wood from drying out or cracking over time, apply a food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioner every few months.

The cellar is crafted from natural acacia wood. While it arrives ready to use, we recommend seasoning it with food-safe oil before its first use to protect the wood grain and enhance its longevity.

Wood is a natural, porous material that can help absorb excess moisture, which often helps prevent salt from clumping. However, if you live in a very humid environment, you may still notice some clumping depending on the type of salt you use.
