| Fine Porcelain Set of 3 Sizes | $20 | A cook who grinds both a teaspoon of cumin and a bowl of pesto — and wants the right bowl for each |
| Small 2.75-Inch Porcelain | $9 | A teaspoon of whole spice, a pill, a pinch of saffron — the small jobs the big bowls do badly |
| Solid Carrara Marble 3.8-Inch | $13 | Dry spices, salts and nuts — the jobs where marble’s softness and acid sensitivity never come up |
We list what HIC Kitchen publishes on each Amazon.com listing, and we say what is missing. A brand page is not a ranking: a rating, where a review has one, only compares products on the same shelf.
