I used to store all my herbs in the way described in the post and they would last forever - like 3 weeks to a month!

@Mlle Kate, most granites won't etch. You might be confusing granite with marble or travertine? Both marble and travertine are very sensitive to acid, even when sealed.

I used to work for a company that makes cleaning and sealing products for natural stone. Granite is really easy to take care of. You can buy the specialty cleaners, which are "gentle" and pH balanced, but I would save my money and just use Windex or an all purpose cleaner like 401. For reference, I use Windex to clean my granite counters.

I really like my OXO can opener and also prefer to leave the lid slightly hinged. The OXO opener is easy to use and I've never had any problems.

That being said, my boyfriend bought a non name brand can opener from Walmart 2 years ago and it works just as well if not slightly better than my OXO one. The one he bought is cuts open then entire top so there are no sharp edges.

I love Trader Joe's Lightly Smoked Sardines. I will have to try the smoked trout now.
