Ask George: Which condiment shaker should have the most holes, salt or pepper?
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.

Reviews for "Adding a Magical Touch to Your Culinary Creations: The Power of Wand-Inspired Salt and Pepper Shakers"
- John - 1 star - I was really disappointed with the Magic wanx salt and pepper shakers. First of all, they were advertised as "magic", but there was nothing magical about them. They were just ordinary salt and pepper shakers. Secondly, the quality was extremely poor. The plastic used felt flimsy and cheap, and one of the shakers arrived broken. I would not recommend this product.
- Emily - 2 stars - The Magic wanx salt and pepper shakers didn't live up to my expectations. While they did look cute, they were not practical at all. The holes for dispensing the salt and pepper were way too small, making it difficult to season my food. Additionally, the mechanism to open and close the shakers was stiff and awkward to use. Save your money and invest in a proper salt and pepper set instead.
- David - 1 star - I regret purchasing the Magic wanx salt and pepper shakers. They were not worth the price at all. The design on the shakers started peeling off after just a few uses. Furthermore, the size of the shakers was much smaller than I expected. Overall, the quality and functionality of these shakers were a huge disappointment. I would not recommend them to anyone.
