Norpro Multipurpose Sugar Flour Powdered Sugar Shaker Dust Sifter 4.25" Tall New,White

The shaker was exactly what I needed.

Perfect! Just what I expected.

I ordered this to use Diatomaceous Earth in to sprinkle it on our dogs. It's a small container, but it works well and the amount in there will last weeks, if not months, depending on how often we use it. One thing I noticed though is that when I left it sitting on the counter with the lid on (because we want the lid on so the powder doesn't come out), it got stuck to it. I guess maybe it was a little humid or warm in our house and the plastic expanded and made it difficult to get off (it didn't seem hot in the house, but this is the only thing I can think of). So I put it in the fridge and after a while, I was able to take the lid off. I keep it in the fridge now so it doesn't get stuck again.

I used to have the Pampered Chef shakers and couldn't find them anymore and needed to replace mine. These are easy to use, heavy duty, don't take up much space, easy to clean and work great for my spices. I have one for spices and one for powdered sugar.

This container does not work. The plastic has sharp edges & the ring won’t screw on. So the powdered sugar spills all over the counter. I paid more to get a product made in the US, but it was made in China. I quickly returned it. Don’t buy it.

Cheaper shakers have plastic screen covers that are difficult to remove. This shaker is sturdy and easy to use.

It works beautifully for dusting but the bad part is the top gets stuck on the collar ring and it is a bear to get it off. I went to use it for the first time yesterday and I could not get the top off the collar ring. It is not possible to use for dusting until you remove the collar so you can attach the mesh sifter. Anyway after trying to do it myself for 15 minutes with no luck, my husband put it in the freezer then used something thin to slightly separate the seal on the top and the collar. I was able to use it, and like I said it does a great job of providing very fine sugar to dust a Ginger Bread House cake I made (the sifted sugar is on the cake. The plate has coconut. ) It looked like perfect snow. I put a little olive oil on the outside of the collar and did not push the top all the way down so hopefully when I need it again it won't be so frustrating! An extra collar would be ideal to include for this product.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Awesome for powered anything. Sugar chested bread crumbs etc. highly highly recommend! Perfect size, easy to clean , goes with all kitchen decor!
