Salt and pepper shakers or salt and pepper pots, of which the first item can also be called a salt cellar in British English,[1] are condiment dispensers used in European cuisine that are designed to allow diners to distribute grains of edible salt and ground peppercorns. Salt and pepper shakers are sometimes held in a cruet-stand.
