I bought a big thing of salt at Trader Joe's

[Anonymous]

That tall deep blue one? And now I can't properly salt plated food. I can salt a pot of boiling water on the stove, but if I try to shake a little salt onto a potato, too much goes on. Iv'e been dumping it into my hand and sprinkling it from there, but there must be a better way. What is it?

Ha!

I have never in my life owned one (the kind that you buy empty). I've always bought the one at the supermarket that comes with salt in it.

Is there anything particular to look for in buying a salt shaker (I can get one at Bed, Bath & Beyond this coming Monday)?

It amazes me how nobody knows anything these days.

Help! I bought a can of soup. How do I open it?

Yes. It should have little holes in the lid for the salt to come out.

+1. I can't believe someone needs help picking out a salt shaker. SMH.

FYI, OP. You might want to put uncooked rice in the salt shaker to keep it from clumping due to moisture.

If we're thinking of the same one, there are three ways for the salt to come out: The big hole, the sprinkling holes, and one that looks like a miniature spout. The mini spout is what I use directly over my plate...and it took me months to discover this.

I was just thinking that if OP can't figure this out how hard her life must be. But now I'm thinking this is just someone who is bored and trying to see how gullible people are.

I can figure it out by going to Bed Bath & Beyond and looking around and maybe asking someone who works there. The closed-mindedness on this board sometimes boggles me. Not everyone grows up the same way - not everyone buys the same things, goes through the same experiences. If there's nothing to know about salt shakers and I should buy whichever one pleases my eye, just tell me that. No need to be an ass and imply I'm stupid.
