Fred SALT AND MAGIC Salt and Pepper Shakers

Product Information

When in doubt, you can't go wrong with hand washing and air drying. Some shakers are dishwasher safe though, so your best bet is to read the fine print before cleaning. No matter how you clean them, make sure to thoroughly empty each shaker, scrub the inside and outside, and rinse with hot water. Salt and pepper shakers should be cleaned regularly, especially if they are used frequently. You can clean them as often as once a week, or more often if you have a busy household. The S or P on each mill’s top tells you what’s inside, but this might be a bit difficult to discern for some. The Chefvantage Salt and Pepper Set stands out for its exceptional performance, which mirrors the Chefvantage Adjustable. It is, after all, from the same manufacturer. This is a wider set that has a few differences that didn't earn it top points, but a key difference that we like. This difference is in the rotating top. This set doesn't have a removable lid, and the adjustment mechanism moves incredibly smoothly. We prefer this smoother transition between the dispensing sizes. Aesthetically, this set has a sleek and modern look. It is made from a combination of stainless steel and glass, which makes this product very durable. You can find a salt and pepper shaker made in almost any material, from ceramic or porcelain to plastic, wood, glass, and stainless steel. There's no right or wrong answer to choosing a material type, though certain ones will require more upkeep than others. For example, stone or glass shakers are not always dishwasher-safe. If you're prone to dropping your kitchen tools, a more fragile material like glass or porcelain may not be right for you. Whichever you choose, make sure your shaker has a tight seal to maintain freshness.

With an ergonomic shape, multiple color options, and solid ceramic construction, the Le Creuset Stoneware Shakers is one of our favorite salt and pepper dispensers. We love how this set looks on our table and often receive compliments on its aesthetic, shape, and color. The beauty of this set is in its simplicity — no adjustments, no visible fill holes. The salt comes out surprisingly fast, even though it has only had a single hold, whereas the pepper has three. Regardless, we learned the dispensing ability is not as tunable as other options in this review but completely sufficient for most purposes. Salt and pepper shakers are typically easy to use. Simply unscrew the top lid or remove the bottom cap, and fill the shaker with your choice or salt, pepper, or another seasoning. When not in use, store the shakers in a cool, dry place to help keep the salt and pepper fresh.
