Crushing it in the kitchen + Mother’s Day

April 20, 2020

The Reluctant Trading Guide to Crushing it in the Kitchen

Hello Friend,

I hope this email finds you and your family safe, together, and finding the silver linings during this difficult time. (And no, I’m not just talking about the foil linings of our spice tubes.)

Since you are probably cooking more than usual, I thought I’d share some tips about which tools are best for unlocking the aromas of our small-batch spices.

1. Our Mills

Our mills work perfectly with our signature Tellicherry Peppercorns and even with other brands of pepper (though our mills often complain to me in private about having to do so.) Our mills also grind rock salts with ease.

If you like uniform grains, and want to avoid touching your food, you can grind our Icelandic Flake Sea Salt. Or you can just get a Salt Cellar and use your fingers to crumble it. Decisions, decisions.

Our mills are exclusively built with CrushGrind ceramic grinding mechanisms. Best in class. Period. We won’t sell any other type of mill. Exclamation point.

Shop our Mills

2. Our Salt Cellars

Our stoneware Salt Cellars are ideal for storing salt at the table or on a countertop for easy access.

Best of all, our cellars are fitted with air-tight, wooden lids, so salt won’t lose moisture and get hard.

Ideal for storing our Icelandic Sea Salt, Italian Truffle Salts, and soft Cambodian Pepper Berries. Dishwasher safe. Super affordable. Worth their salt.

Shop our Salt Cellars

3. Our Mortar & Pestles

Our Milton Mortar and Pestles are ideal for unleashing the beautiful aroma of seeds, pods, and herbs. With a pour spout, you can also use it to mix guac, sauces, and moles.

We recommend using the Milton with our Cardamom Pods, Cumin Seeds, Coriander Seeds, Mustard Seeds, and Fennel Seeds.

Our Mortar and Pestles are crafted of beautiful, tough, unglazed porcelain ceramic. Dishwasher safe. Available in four sizes.

4. Our Microplane Mill

Our Microplane Spice Mill is the perfect tool for grinding the hardest spices. Ideal for our Red Long Pepper, Nutmeg, and Star Anise. Ideal for cinnamon too, coming soon!

The key is the super sharp, stainless steel Microplane rasp on the bottom of the mill. But no worries, it’s safe to use and finger-friendly. Meaning it won’t cut you and cause you to give it the finger.

Oh Mama, Mother’s Day is May 10.

We have a mother of a gift collection in all price ranges. Gift Boxes. Salt and Pepper Sets. We even have virtual gift cards.

But don’t wait. Mother’s Day is fast approaching. Order by April 30 for standard shipping.

Please stay safe, healthy, and keep looking for those silver linings.

Scott
