Price Points: Salt & pepper grinders

Salt & pepper grinders

There’s probably not a home in the world that doesn’t have salt & pepper in the kitchen or on the dining table; they’re the most necessary of condiments.

Given their culinary superpowers, these seasonings should be treated with due respect. That includes housing them in beautiful salt & pepper grinders.

The cheapest examples are like oversized chess pieces; painted in a lovely, shiny, on-trend grey colour. They’re the most traditional of the three options that we’ve short-listed.

The mid-range seasoning mill is a 2-in-one job, which I like – it takes up half the room in a tiny kitchen. However, even though the machine is rechargeable and doesn’t need batteries, I quite like the action of manually grinding my peppercorns and salt crystals.

The top-end Tom Dixon set is stunning in its timeless, space age design. Much as I love it – and it would be used every day – £150.00 is a pretty steep price tag and way out of our budget.

Price Points: Travel condiment sets

Travel condiment sets

Often, when we drive somewhere for a day out, we stop for a drink or bite to eat. Instead of stashing a hodgepodge of sachets of sugar, sauces, salt, pepper etc in the jumbled glove box, these travel condiment sets is a much smarter option.

When we go to the seaside, we often have takeaway fish & chips. A bit of extra salt & vinegar as you work your way through to the lower layers is often desirable. And when we visit a new town with a nice looking bakery or butchers, Justin always likes to try out the local sausage rolls and pork pies. I often sample their cheese & onion versions. A bit of tangy chutney adds an extra twist.

Also, we’ve started travelling with a rucksack containing vacuum flask of boiling water, two travel mugs and a couple of Kenko flat white sachets. They’re perfect for a quick brew en route. Justin has sugar in his coffee, and has taken to putting two spoonfuls into his mug before putting the lid on it. One day, the lid is going to pop off and scatter sugar all round the inside of the rucksack.

When I think about what condiments and additions we generally need on a trip away, the 7-piece set would be the best fit. We’d need somewhere for all the aforementioned sugar, salt & vinegar, ketchup, chilli sauces, chutney and the like.
