Troubleshooting
Shaker is difficult to fill
Ensure the shaker is completely empty. The filling hole is typically at the bottom; remove the stopper if applicable, or carefully pour through the top opening if designed that way.
Seasoning does not dispense easily
Check that the seasoning is dry and not clumped. Gently tap the shaker or use a small brush to clear any blockages in the dispensing holes.
Stand feels unstable
Ensure both shakers are properly seated in their designated spots on the stand. Check for any debris that might be preventing a secure fit.
Paint or glaze appears chipped
Handle with extreme care. If chipping occurs, discontinue use with food items as small ceramic fragments could be ingested. Clean the affected area gently and consider using it purely for decorative purposes.
