Le Creuset PG1020-1017 Stoneware Salt Crock, 10-Ounce, Caribbean

Le Creuset's line of stoneware comes with a hard-wearing, impermeable finish fired at temperatures as high as 2192 degrees F. With a porosity level of less than 1 percent, it blocks moisture absorption, which can lead to cracking, crazing, and rippling along the interior. Its non-porous construction also resists odors, scratching, and staining for hygienic use and optimal performance. Even more, its high-quality enamel protects against metal marks and other damage, which means it's safe to use with knives. Best of all, the glaze on the exterior makes the stoneware items fun to mix and match with other coordinating Le Creuset pieces (sold separately), while a neutral-colored glaze on the inside offers an optimal palette for food presentation. And thanks to an unmatched thermal resistance from -65 degrees F to 500 degrees F, Le Creuset stoneware moves effortlessly from the microwave or oven (or under the broiler) to the table for serving to the refrigerator or freezer for storing leftovers. When finished, it cleans up easily by hand or in the dishwasher.
