Know before you buy
Each shaker features a secure stopper at the bottom. Simply remove the stopper to refill the contents and press it firmly back into place once finished.
No, these aluminum shakers should be hand-washed only. Use a soft cloth and mild soap to maintain the finish and prevent potential tarnishing or damage.
Given their compact 3-inch height, these shakers are designed for everyday use rather than high-volume storage. They hold a modest amount of seasoning, making them ideal for table settings rather than heavy kitchen prep.
Aluminum is generally durable, but it is best practice to keep the shakers dry. To prevent any potential corrosion or clumping, ensure the salt is kept in a moisture-free environment.
Since the set features two identical Labrador figures, they do not have external markings to differentiate salt from pepper. You can distinguish them by the number of holes on the top if they differ, or simply by remembering which side of the table you placed each one.
