If your salt is clumped inside its shaker and you bang it forcibly on the dining room table when having a dinner party it will free up your salt, but might startle your dinner guests. An alternative is to use salt and pepper cellars. This is an elegant way to offer salt and pepper. You always know how much is in each cellar, and it’s very easy to unclump! Here are some favorites.
