A salt shaker is a small container used to hold and dispense table salt. Typically made of glass, plastic, or metal, it features small holes in the lid to allow for easy pouring. Salt shakers are commonly found on dining tables and are used to enhance the flavor of food. Many salt shakers are designed with a simple, functional shape, but some are decorative and can reflect personal style. They are often sold in sets with pepper shakers, as pepper is another popular seasoning. Salt shakers are a staple in kitchens and restaurants worldwide.
