Totally Bamboo Salt Keeper Duet

Totally Bamboo Salt Keeper Duet — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Totally Bamboo Salt Keeper Duet?

The Salt Keeper Duet is a set of two bamboo-lid ceramic containers designed to store salt and a secondary seasoning (like pepper or garlic salt). The bamboo lids double as small scoops or trays, making it both practical and aesthetic for kitchen countertop use.

What materials are used and why?

The containers are made of glazed ceramic (to protect contents from moisture) and the lids are crafted from bamboo, a renewable and naturally antimicrobial wood. The combination keeps salt dry while providing a natural, warm aesthetic. Using a bamboo lid also helps avoid corrosion or flavor transfer that metal lids might introduce.

What are the size and capacity?

Each jar typically holds about **½ cup (approx. 120 mL)** of salt or seasoning. The compact design fits well near the stove or prep area without taking up much space. The bamboo lids are sized to act as small scoops or lids that sit flush over the jar openings.

How should I use it in the kitchen?

• Fill one jar with your daily-use salt (kosher, sea salt, etc.) and the other with a companion seasoning.
• Use the lids for scooping or even as a rest for a small spoon.
• Keep it near your stove or prep area for easy seasoning access.
• Because it’s covered, it helps protect contents from moisture or airborne kitchen humidity.

How do I care for and maintain the jar and lids?

• Wash the ceramic jars in warm soapy water (hand wash recommended).
• Rinse thoroughly and dry fully before refilling to avoid moisture trapped under salt.
• The bamboo lids should be hand washed and dried immediately—do not soak or use in dishwasher.
• Occasionally treat the bamboo with a light coat of food-grade mineral oil to maintain its appearance and prevent drying or cracking.
• Store with lids off if humidity is very high to allow airing.
