Ahhh! I've seen these for sale, but never heard them called salt pigs. Supposed to keep the salt from clumping by not allowing moisture to settle. Do they really work?

ROTFL!! Oh my gosh Asfan, I never thought of that.
A tad of a conflict!! Oink oink

A salt pig is this ceramic pig with a big wide open mouth that you store your salt in. It usually comes with a ceramic spoon. The purpose is to keep your salt close by for easy access. With spoon or grab a pinch. Ever notice the chef's always keep there salt in a small bowl, not a shaker.

I too was worried about the humidity causing clumping. Remember I'm on the gulf coast & we keep rice in the salt shaker !! Not a problem with a salt pig!! The ceramic does absorb any moisture.

Here's a pic of my salt pig, Oinky. He's on the shelf to the far left.
