  • Question
    Should I wash the inside of new shakers before I fill them?
    Community Answer
    Yes, but make sure that the shaker is dried completely. If it is not dried properly, it will cause the salt/pepper to clump or the holes to plug.

  • Question
    Should rice go in a pepper shaker as well?
    Community Answer
    Rice is added to salt to absorb excess moisture (and shouldn't be put in a shaker with holes large enough for rice to slip through them). Pepper doesn't usually need it.

  • Question
    How often should I refill my salt and pepper shakers?
    Community Answer
    Refill salt and pepper shakers only if they are empty. How often depends on how much they're used, but check once a month to see.
