A "shaker" is a device used to mix or blend ingredients, commonly found in kitchens. It typically consists of a container with a lid and a mechanism that allows for shaking, which helps combine liquids or powders evenly. Shakers are often used for cocktails, salad dressings, and protein shakes. In addition to kitchen use, the term "shaker" can refer to a member of the Shaker religious community, known for their simple living and communal lifestyle. The Shakers are famous for their craftsmanship, particularly in furniture making, and their unique form of worship that includes dancing and shaking as expressions of faith.
