As the name implies, a sugar shaker is a container that allows you to dispense sugar in a way you can easily control. These shakers use various ingenious ways of dispensing it so that your coffee or oatmeal isn’t buried in sugar. They use a spout, slit, hole with a flap over it, or multiple small holes, like a salt shaker. Some are even electric with a push-button mechanism. Some sugar shakers are made entirely of stainless steel while others are wholly or partially plastic, but most are a combination of glass and steel. If you have a health condition or are on a diet where you limit your sugar intake, consider a model that allows precise measurement of dispensed sugar.
