Abstract
A multi-sectional seasoning shaker, including a body, a lid disposed on a top portion of the body to be rotatable with respect to the body, the lid comprising dispenser holes, and a divider disposed within the body to form a first section to store a first seasoning and a second section to store a second seasoning, such that rotation of the lid allows either the first seasoning or the second seasoning to be dispensed from the dispenser holes when the dispenser holes are disposed over the first section or the second section.
Description
- The present general inventive concept relates generally to a seasoning shaker, and specifically, to a multi-sectional seasoning shaker.
- When cooking a big meal for friends and family, chefs are always keeping in mind the quality of their meal. To slip up and forget either one of the cornerstones of most savory dishes, specifically salt and pepper, can potentially diminish the quality of a meal and make for a disappointing culinary experience. Also, salt and pepper shakers can often be misplaced during cooking.
- Furthermore, chefs also tend to use multiple different types of seasonings during cooking, but are required to bring multiple different seasoning shakers to a cooking station.
- Therefore, there is a need for a seasoning shaker that allows for multiple different types of seasonings to be included therein.
- The present general inventive concept provides a multi-sectional seasoning shaker that allows a user to fill the shaker with different types of seasonings such that the seasoning remain separated.
- Additional features and utilities of the present general inventive concept will be set forth in part in the description which follows and, in part, will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the general inventive concept.
- The foregoing and/or other features and utilities of the present general inventive concept may be achieved by providing a multi-sectional seasoning shaker, including a body, a lid disposed on a top portion of the body to be rotatable with respect to the body, the lid comprising dispenser holes, and a divider disposed within the body to form a first section to store a first seasoning and a second section to store a second seasoning, such that rotation of the lid allows either the first seasoning or the second seasoning to be dispensed from the dispenser holes when the dispenser holes are disposed over the first section or the second section.
- The divider may be removable from the body.
- The multi-sectional seasoning shaker may further include another divider to replace the divider when the divider is removed from the body, such that the another divider forms a first section to store a first seasoning, a second section to store a second seasoning, and a third section to store a third seasoning.
- The lid may be removable from the body when the lid is first pressed downward and then subsequently rotated in a counter-clockwise direction.
- The lid may be rotatable in a clockwise and a counter-clockwise direction with respect to the body without being removed.
- These and/or other features and utilities of the present generally inventive concept will become apparent and more readily appreciated from the following description of the embodiments, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of which:
-
FIG. 1 illustrates a top angled view of a multi-sectional seasoning shaker having a first divider, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present general inventive concept; -
