Salt and Pepper Shakers, Vol. 15, Issue 30
Please help resolve a dispute I have with my partner. Which has more holes, the salt or pepper shaker? It becomes an issue because at her home it is one way and opposite at mine, so when family dines at the other's home, no one gets it "right." I have started putting out a pepper mill and salt grinder instead, but truly love my silver shakers for nicer meals.
To Etiquetteer's surprise, there isn't agreement on this subject - nor is this helped by the quantity of salt and pepper shakers on the market with a wide variety of holes on both shakers - but Etiquetteer has always put salt in the shaker with one hole and pepper in that with three. Your solution for informal meals to use the salt grinder and pepper mill is most appropriate - especially as coarsely-ground salt and pepper play havoc shakers, no matter how many holes.
If this continues to become an issue with your partner, you might fill the shakers at your end of the table as you prefer and at her end as she prefers - but this could confuse any guests you have with you. You could also forego salt altogether, not that Etiquetteer has spoken to your doctor or anything . . . probably the simplest solution is to buy glass shakers so you can see what you’re shaking. You could also start each meal with a brief reminder announcement about which is which. While there shouldn’t be any embarrassment about shaking a bit into your palm first to see what you’re shaking, some diners get confused about what to do with unwanted seasoning left in their hands. But it’s really quite simple to brush it into your napkin.
Formal dinners certainly call for the best table appointments one has. If this remains a dispute, you may wish to trade in your silver shakers for Perfectly Proper silver salt cellars and salt spoons.
Which condiment shaker should have the most holes: salt or pepper? —Sally M., Mill Valley, CA For decades, this discussion has been the subject of many impassioned mealtime debates, along the lines of “Coke or Pepsi?”, “Should chili contain beans?,” or "Mozz or Provel on a pizza?" In this case, both camps can present a logical (rather than merely preferential) argument. Salt has been part of the proverbial dinner table for millennia. Salt was one of the world's main trading commodities. Wars were fought over it. Books have been written about it. Its ability as a flavor enhancer was universally recognized. Salt was even used as currency. Over the years, countries, culture, medical theories, and health all factored into the shaker debate. Fifty years ago, when high schoolers attended football camps for 10 days in mid-August, they were given salt tablets to replenish what was lost during the workouts, similar to those who worked outdoors in the extreme heat. This led to one theory on the shaker-holes argument: Salt was necessary to sustain human life; therefore, people tended to use more of it—hence, it went in the shaker with the most holes. In the past few decades, however, in this country especially, that tide has turned: Excessive salt was deemed unhealthy, so it was relegated to the shaker with the fewest holes. One argument says, “There are more holes for pepper, because pepper is a longer word than salt.” Another says that since people are more sparing with pepper (recipes and personal tastes generally call for more salt than pepper), it should go in the shaker with fewer holes. Because over-salting food can be problematic, fewer holes can be helpful. Or because salt pours more quickly than pepper, fewer holes makes sense. Others say it's not the number of holes that makes a difference but the size that matters. Since salt crystals are larger (and tend to clump in humid conditions), their holes should be bigger. (After having shaken the dickens out of many a pepper shaker to yield only a dusting of product, however, I contend that it makes sense to put pepper in the shaker with the largest holes, so it flows at an acceptable rate.) Many avoid the argument entirely by using glass or clear plastic shakers with an equal number of holes. When people realized the flavor of ground pepper dissipates considerably over time, pepper mills came into vogue, first as an add-on by servers in fancy restaurants. Pepper mills are now standard issue on many restaurant tables, but the fate of salt is still being decided.
With your salt and pepper wand in hand, you can create awe-inspiring moments at the dinner table. Picture this: you are entertaining guests, and the conversation is flowing. As you reach for the salt and pepper shakers to add a finishing touch to your guests' plates, you decide to give them a little extra sparkle. With a subtle wave of your wand, a sprinkle of glitter fills the air, creating a mesmerizing spectacle. Your guests are left amazed, their eyes reflecting the wonder and delight that your magical touch brings. Of course, the power of these magic wands lies not in their mystical qualities but in the gift of imagination. They remind us that even the simplest of objects can become extraordinary with a dash of creativity. So, the next time you sit down for a meal, don't underestimate the potential of your salt and pepper shakers. Grab them with a sense of whimsy and let your imagination run wild. With a sprinkle here, a shake there, and a little touch of magic, you can transform an ordinary dining experience into something truly enchanting..
Reviews for "Discover the magic of seasoning with the Magic Wand Salt and Pepper Shakers"
1. Tom - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with the "Magic wand salt and pepper shakers." Not only did they not work properly, but they were also quite flimsy. When I tried to sprinkle the salt or pepper using the wand, very little came out, and I ended up having to manually shake the shakers to get any seasoning. Additionally, the wands themselves were not durable and broke after just a couple of uses. Overall, I found them to be more of a novelty item than a practical kitchen tool.
2. Sarah - 1/5 - I have to say I regret purchasing the "Magic wand salt and pepper shakers." The concept seemed fun, but the execution fell short. Firstly, the wands did not have a good grip, and it was difficult to control the amount of salt or pepper being dispensed. Secondly, the shakers themselves were poorly made and had a tendency to leak, leaving a mess on my dining table. Lastly, the overall quality was subpar, and I didn't feel like they were worth the price. I would not recommend these to anyone.
3. John - 2/5 - I had high hopes for the "Magic wand salt and pepper shakers," but they turned out to be quite disappointing. The wands didn't have a smooth mechanism, and I ended up having to shake them vigorously to get any seasoning out. Even then, the distribution was uneven, making it hard to accurately season my food. Moreover, the shakers themselves were not as sturdy as I expected and had a tendency to get clogged easily. All in all, I don't think they were worth the money I spent on them.
