What features should salt and pepper shakers have?
Good salt and pepper shakers pour evenly, refill without fuss and sit stable on the table, in glass, ceramic, wood or metal to suit the setting; serving pieces sit under dinner plates nearby. At Eleish Van Breems Home we keep salt and pepper shakers in simple shapes.
Which salt and pepper shakers pour well?
Salt and pepper shakers that pour well have holes suited to the grain, with coarse salt generally calling for larger openings and a mill working well for whole peppercorns; other table pieces sit under serveware. Choose a design with a refill opening suited to how you plan to use it.
How do salt and pepper shakers finish a table?
Salt and pepper shakers finish a table as a small matched pair set near the centre or by each cover, a quiet detail rather than a focal point, beside a dinnerware set. Keep them simple and let them sit with the cruet and other small pieces.
What cleans clogged salt and pepper shakers safely?
To clear clogged salt and pepper shakers safely, empty them, wash and dry the interior fully, since damp salt is what cakes, and add a few grains of rice to keep it flowing; metal pieces sit under Georg Jensen flatware. Refill only with dry salt to stop it clumping again.
