What are you going to take that with, eh, eh?

Length: < 1 min

A PROPER pinch of salt, that’s what. As a reminder that it doesn’t mean homeopathic levels of grain numbers, here’s a good visual guide…

A picture showing the amount of salt that a "pinch" consists of; it's a lot more than some people think when they read this in a recipe. The fingers here are clasping around a correct amount.

And that’s also why I’m making a salt-pig; so I can get my fingers into the salt and — easily and simply — ensure I get the correct amount. This is the item, still as greenware i.e. before it’s fired to bisque hardness or the glaze stage. It even has a title label as a handy reminder to me, for the future as memory gets worse…

A salt-pig, currently unfired, so grey/brown in colour, with a little name-plate reading "SALT" at the base. It's made up of one cylinders, cut at an angle of about 30 degrees into two, one is rotated and then they're both re-joined.
