Salt and Pepper Shakers & Mills

Used to evenly distribute ground peppercorns and salt onto food, salt and pepper shakers make a convenient way to enjoy these condiments. The convenience of shakers gives diners the opportunity to add flavor and texture to every meal. Pepper mills grind fresh peppercorns for fresh flavor.

Convenience
Most salt and pepper shakers and mills offer a convenient way to add more of the condiment from the bottom of the shaker. Simply fill and use, whether on the tabletop or stovetop. Some shakers and mills come as a part of a set, matching with tableware and leaving out the hassle of coordinating colors and styles. Many models are microwave- and dishwasher-safe, and others have easily removable caps and screens for cleaning.

Aesthetics
Whether you are using pink Himalayan sea salt or plain table salt, your salt and pepper shakers can be an opportunity to show off your sense of style. Enhance the look of your table with a kitschy set of patterned shakers or increase its elegance by adding a pepper mill. Find styles ranging from wooden to stainless steel and painted ceramics. Battery-powered options are available, as well as special occasion dining shakers.

Portable Flavor
Salt and pepper shakers come in compact, lightweight and portable sizes. Range-top models tend to be larger, holding more salt and pepper since they're used much more for flavoring than tabletop models. Transportation remains an easy feat with tabletop models, whether you're travelling to a potluck or taking out the fancy set when company is coming over.
