Are holes big enough for Kosher salt &amp; coarse pepper ?

I would say yes. The holes seem larger than normal and I have to be careful when using the pepper shaker as not to pour to much.

Yes but only if you do not fill them too full. The caps to the containers are threaded and will easily bind up if some of those spices get in the threads.

No. The holes are about 2mm X 2mm square. This equates to mesh size 9 or 645 holes per sq inch. It is recommend to to have mesh size 30 and above for no-see-um which have holes about 0.6 mm X 0.6 mm square.

The holes are smaller than a normal strainer. I think it would work well as a yogurt strainer.

I don't think it would work for ground pepper cuz the holes are small, and it would be to much for powder pepper...

Yes. I have a pair of these and use one for salt and one for peppercorns. Nice quality.

The mesh is not small enough. You would have to tie your spices in a piece of cheesecloth or use a spice bag. Amazon has Regency Natural Spice Bags

I am not sure, I've never done it, but think it would be OK. The mesh is very fine. Sometimes I use the strainer to sift gluten free flours and cocoa powder together (brownies, cake ingred.); it is so fine my kosher salt won't always fit through the mesh.

The holes in the steamer insert are too large for couscous or rice. Holes are about 1/4".

I use the salt in a shaker with larger holes and it works just fine for me that way.

The holes would need to be no more than 1/4" around. Hope this helps. It is a great tool!!!

I wouldn't unless you plan to keep them in the ground or to keep them separated as part of a bigger system like hydroponics. The many holes will keep the soil more on the dry side compared to similar size pots. As a general rule, a larger pot will be moist longer periods and keep the plant stress to a minimum for your herbs. I would recommend the stacking pots like the three from Nancy for herbs (on Amazon) or a rectangular window box.

No, the holes would be too big for that purpose, I use it for pasta and veggies only.

Any kind of salt will fit in as long as it's finely ground. The holes in the salt shaker take normal size salt.

No. They hold a typical spice container perfectly. Anything wider would not fit.

Absolutely. The largest holes are about 1/4 inch. Good for normal grated cheese but not big enough for the "shaved" type.

Absolutely. Just buy a pepper grinder and put salt into it. That's what I did since I like coarse salt but not as coarse as rock salt :)
