"sald and pepper shakers" news and stories

On the scale of all the things that need to be done when preparing food, like cleaning, chopping, roasting, etc., seasoning food with salt and pepper is low on my list of things that require effort. That said, it probably isn't surprising that I find Movers & Shakers, the self-shaking salt and pepper shakers, to be ridiculous. To operate the plastic shakers, you just have to pull the cord at the bottom of the shaker, invert over your plate and they vibrate, shaking out as much or as little seasoning as your taste buds desire. The only thing that they don't do is hold themselves over the plate, though I'm sure with a little creativity you could figure out a way to suspend them in the middle of the table. Of course, if you refill the shakers with Spepper, you'll really have reached the pinnacle of easy seasoning.

The shakers: $7.99. The cost of saving a second of actual effort? Priceless.
