Salt and pepper shakers are small containers used to hold and dispense salt and pepper, two common seasonings in cooking and dining. Typically made from materials like glass, ceramic, or plastic, these shakers often have small holes at the top to allow for easy pouring. They come in various shapes, sizes, and designs, making them both functional and decorative for tables. Most sets include one shaker for salt and another for pepper, helping to distinguish between the two. Some shakers have adjustable openings to control the amount of seasoning dispensed. They are a staple in many households and restaurants, enhancing the flavor of meals.
