Know before you buy
The weighted 28 oz tin provides a low center of gravity for better control while shaking, while the unweighted 18 oz tin is lighter and easier to handle. This combination creates a secure seal and makes it easier to separate the tins after you have finished mixing.
The footed base adds stability during use, but it does not significantly impact storage. The set is designed to nest together, so it will take up roughly the same amount of cabinet space as a standard Boston shaker.
The embossed ribs are designed to provide a non-slip grip, which is particularly helpful when your hands are wet or cold from the ice inside the shaker. It gives you more confidence and control during vigorous shaking.
Yes, the 18/8 stainless steel construction is durable enough for dishwasher use. However, hand washing is often recommended for high-quality barware to maintain the mirror finish and prevent potential water spotting over time.
The satin interior finish is primarily aesthetic and helps hide signs of wear and tear from ice abrasion over time. It does not impact the mixing performance or the quality of your cocktails.
