    Should I wash the inside of new shakers before I fill them?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Yes, but make sure that the shaker is dried completely. If it is not dried properly, it will cause the salt/pepper to clump or the holes to plug.

  • Question
    Should rice go in a pepper shaker as well?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Rice is added to salt to absorb excess moisture (and shouldn't be put in a shaker with holes large enough for rice to slip through them). Pepper doesn't usually need it.

    How often should I refill my salt and pepper shakers?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Refill salt and pepper shakers only if they are empty. How often depends on how much they're used, but check once a month to see.
