Salt & Pepper Shaker Debate...
My mom just found me an awesome pair of new s&p shakers at the thrift store... They're big with these awesome handles, love them. So, I'm about to fill them and it made me think about a debate DH and I had way back when I filled our last set. He says the salt should be in the shaker with more holes, but I have always thought the pepper should go in the one with more. These new shakers have one with 5 holes fairly centered, and the other with 3 holes kind of spaced apart.
I'm leaning towards putting the salt in the one with 3 holes. So, how would you do it? |

I always thought salt had more holes.

Both my shakers have the same amount of holes and are the same size.

I think he's right... but I think your idea is healthier!

I think that most people put salt in the more holes shaker but I never have. We don't use a lot of salt but we use a ton of pepper. Now I use grinders for both so it doesn't matter

We have a pepper grinder, so I wouldn't even know. Our salt shaker (that's in a set with the pepper grinder) has 5 holes fairly centered, if that helps.

The funny thing is that DH's family is big into salt. Not only table salt, but they always had a bottle of Season All seasoned salt on the table, too. No matter what, he adds salt to whatever I make BEFORE TASTING IT. It drives me nuts! One time my in-laws were over for dinner and my MIL started generously adding pepper to something accidentally because she assumed the salt would be in the shaker with more holes. They all told me I put the salt in the wrong shaker! LOL. That last set had a shaker with 1 hole (salt) and 3 holes (pepper). |

My current set has holes in the shape of the letters "S" and "P" - so there is no guessing. I always put salt in the ones with more holes.
And my DH does the same thing, salts before tasting. So sometimes I leave out the salt when cooking since I know he will add it anyway. (although it depends on what I'm cooking) |

I think traditionally the salt shaker had more holes, but I like you, am a big pepper fan, so I always give pepper more holes.
Now my shakers are stackable rocks...the pepper is gray and the salt is white.

Lol. I have never ever even thought about this. I think my s&p shakers have the same number of holes, except for the set that has a pepper grinder, and thus - no holes for the pepper.

I would probably put the pepper in the shaker with more holes. I am not a big salt person either and I can't stand when it comes pouring out!!

The salt should go in the one with less holes because it comes out easier than pepper. Hubby and I had this debate years ago, too. lol

Growing up it seems I remember that salt was always more holes and pepper less holes. I haven't had a salt shaker in years and only use a pepper mill for pepper so I have no idea anymore. Now I would put the salt in the one with less holes because I'm not a salt person at all.

I have always had sets with the exact same number of holes in each. Nothing cutesy for me, just standard shakers.

I had more holes in the one with the S on it in my old set. The set I have now is a salt shaker & pepper grinder.
I don't regularly put salt & pepper on the table at mealtimes. Neither did my parents and neither do most of my friends. Except if it is a cookout or sometimes with potatoes. All the condiments come out at a cookout but otherwise the salt & pepper stay in the cupboard with the spices. If you want them you have to ask. |

I am sitting in a restaurant right now... The pepper is in the one with more holes. DH just asked what I was doing and told him... He says that the salt is always in the least number holes. I laugh how would he know? He says its because he is always looking for the salt!!!! :d

salt has two, pepper has three. and there's no method to it, i just chose out of the box when i filled them. but, i think my grandparents' set is the opposite. and at home, we have a pepper grinder anyway. so there's only a salt shaker.

I rarely add more salt to food after prepared. I almost always add more pepper so I use the one with more holes because it makes it easier to add.

salt = more holes. I am supposed to limit salt intake but dont do great with that. I never use pepper. I prefer seasoning salt or Ol Bay though

salt makes watermelon better. Canteloupe too. I do not eat citrus though. Living next to an orange grove as a kid we had tons and tons of every citrus you can imagine.
