Good design is all about problem solving. The inedible parts of nuts, olives and other favorite snacks now have a home to call their own and out of eye view with this great solution by those clever guys. A serving dish sits on top of a larger collection bowl. The curved opening are large enough for most pits and shells. Simply deposit unwanted bits and other unsightly snack waste down the curved external chutes. Dishwasher safe, and priced fantastic enough to make this a favored host gift.
