What is so different about Cubby Shakers?

Cubby Shakers eliminate issues of moisture and clumping just by sitting them onto cork bases, on the table. The hole is inside so your ingredients stay fresh, dry and insect free.
How do you operate Cubby Shakers?

A simple rebound technique offers an option to using grinding mechanisms. Simply shake up and down. The contents rebound off the top of the jar, and fall down through the funnel, onto the plate. CUBBY SHAKERS are suitable for dispensing fine to granular textures of salt, pepper, seeds, spices, sprinkles & more. Up to 2mm textures.
Where are Cubby Shakers made?

Our Cubby Funnel is made in Sydney, Australia. The Cork Bases are handmade on the Sunshine Coast.
What Not To Do.

As with any shaker or grinder, it's good practice 'NOT' to shake or grind over steaming pots. This would result in moisture entering the vessel. Pinch pots are a much better choice next to hot plates. Cubby Shakers are designed to use on table service areas. Simply shaker up and down, not upside down.

What if my shaker is hard to open?

We have had one case of this to date. This lady was using her salt shaker by the stove and using it to shake over steaming pots. We recommend not to do this. Pinch pots for salt is a much better option next to hot plates. Of coarse moisture got up into the funnel and moistened her salt so much that after time she had trouble opening the shaker because the salt had hardened around the thread. If this ever happens (and it shouldn't), the simple solution is to sit your salt shaker in a quarter cup of hot water for just a few seconds. This will quickly dissolve any hardened salt residue around the thread and you can then easily open your salt shaker. 😊
