Assuming your shaker isn't transparent and isn't labeled, which shaker gets the salt and which gets the pepper?
If you live in the U.S., apparently, you're supposed to put your pepper in the one with more holes because it's harder for the pepper to come out. However, when I looked it up many different people are divided on the issue.
I've never heard of putting pepper in the one with more holes, and I'm not about to change any of mine, but it makes sense. North Americans eat FAR too much salt.
I have always put my pepper in the one with more holes. I thought it was because a little salt goes a long way and you use more of the pepper to season.
I do not use salt/pepper shakers. I have a pepper grinder that sits on the table with our meals. Tried to eliminate the habit of our family of adding extra salt to our meals . But I remember growing up when sitting at mothers dinner table each of us had a mini salt shaker made out of ceramic.
We too don't use shakers. Family is fine with the way I season foods. If guests come ever, I put the salt cellar and pepper grinder on the table.
Interesting that you are supposed put in pepper in the one with more holes. All the labeled or colored ones for pepper only have one hole while the ones for salt had more.

Yeah, they're even labeled "P" and have only one or two holes while the one labelled "S" has many more holes. Hmmm.
