Tiny New York Kitchen Household Hints – Clogged Salt Shakers

Tiny New York Kitchen Household Hints

Yesterday I was asked how to keep salt shakers unclogged. 

For Clogged Salt Shakers:

Heat a teaspoonful of rice and mix with the salt.  You could also use a pinch of ground arrowroot added to the salt.  Both methods will prevent the salt for clogging the shaker.  To keep the metal tops from being eaten away spread a bit of heated paraffin on the inside of the metal top.  When the heated paraffin begins to cool open the holes with a pin or a wooden toothpick.
