Cir-Cruet Breaker: A Switchable Salt And Pepper Shaker

Convergence isn't only for cellphones and cameras. The craving with cramming ever more functionality in to a singular device has right away taken over the kitchen and the dining room. No, it's not a multiple food-processor / dining chair. It's a singular shaker containing cooking's bitterest enemies, the Tom and Jerry of the tabletop: Salt'n'pepper.

This unholy cruet-combo is the work of Fred, purveyor of home fittings to the nerd-about-town ( Fisticups or Salad Tools , anyone?)

The Switch, as it is called, features a considerable switch on the tip to flip between a river of delicious belligerent stone or the dusty and powdered fruit of the piper nigrum . Both exit by the same hole.

Now really, you should never purchase such a thing. Fresh-ground peppers from a indent is so rapid and easy, and so full of the hot, sour flighty oils that have long given left the harshly-spiced desert of pre-ground peppers that you should never ponder the dusty version. On the other hand, it's so cute!

Side note: If you're considering of shopping a salt-mill, don't. The cosmetic millstone will wear out in no time, and because the ruin would you grub your own salt anyway? It's a rock. It can't dehydrated out, or spoil. Just purchase a couple of not similar sizes from the store and keep them in tiny bowls. Or purchase the Switch, we guess, and keep the peppers side empty.

Pricing TBA, existing in the 2011 "collection" .
