The small ridges lining the outside of the typical shaker base are the key to making this work.
Other peopleclaimthe ridges on the bottom are for ease of grip rather than ease of pouring.
But when a similarpostwent viral in 2019, internet users were just as split then as they are now.
It seems as though the shakers aren’t the only thing that’s salty.
The bottoms of S&P shakers are often disgusting.
I wouldn’t want to rub them over my food.
The ridges on the bottom are for grip.
Dont be fooled by this.
I honestly thought this was common knowledge.
