The world of kitchen tools is immensely diverse. From spatulas and whisks to air fryers and crockpots, there is no "one size fits all" when it comes to the breadth of kitchen tools, their uses and their designs. How, then, would tools such as salt and pepper shakers be defined? They're not merely decorative and they have a function beyond aesthetic appeal, so they do qualify as a "tool," but would one ever equate salt and pepper shakers and Instant Pots in the same breath?
Throughout Western countries, salt and pepper shakers are commonplace on nearly every kitchen or dining room table. In most instances, salt and pepper are some of the only seasonings that are simply always left on the table.
