# Eggcup Condiment Containers The Pinch Salt Shaker Reintroduces Tactility to Seasoning Recipes By Amelia Roblin | Published 2014-03-19 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinch-salt References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2014/03/18/a-pinch-of-life/) & [studio.craightonberman](http://studio.craightonberman.com/PINCH) You'll still occasionally see "add a pinch of salt" within a recipe, but few people access and add this ingredient to their meals with their fingertips. The Pinch salt dispenser encourages you to get your hands involved in the process of cooking and eating, rather than constantly using cutlery to assist with these actions. Craighton Berman's lovely culinary set comprises two pieces made from [soft white ceramic material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shaken). One is a perfect sphere with a single hole in the top, designed to hold and sprinkle [ground pepper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-peppercorn). This nests gently inside of the cup component, sealing it off to cover the [sea salt crystals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pepper-sea-salt) that sit in the bottom of this miniature mortar-like bowl. The Pinch salt pot and shaker is a practical and beautiful addition to your tabletop. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Tactile Cookware:** Opportunities for creating cookware that emphasizes hands-on experiences in food preparation. - **Culinary Aesthetics:** Developing visually attractive culinary tools for presentation on tabletops and kitchens. - **Unconventional Seasoning:** Exploring unconventional ways of seasoning food that stray from traditional spice shakers and containers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Kitchenware:** Opportunities for kitchenware companies to design products that prioritize an interactive cooking experience. - **Culinary Arts:** Opportunities for culinary artists and food stylists to incorporate visually compelling cookware into their presentations. - **Gastronomy:** Opportunities for gastronomy experts to experiment with and promote new ways of seasoning and preparing food. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Spherical Mortar & Pestles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-mortar-and-pestle.md) - [Tabletop Seed Shakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/munchy-seeds-need-seeds.md) - [Salt-Mimicking Kitchenwares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-bowl-and-spoon.md) - [MSG Shaker Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shaker-sets.md) - [Functional Table Seasonings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/table-seasonings.md) - [Interchangeable All-in-One Cutlery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinchy-cutlery.md) - [Hourglass-Shaped Kitchen Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grains-of-time.md) - [Handle-Free Coffee Mugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinch-hold.md) - [Contemporary Pepper Grinder Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zjddg.md)
