One shaker has 16 holes and the other one has just 6 holes. Which one would you use for salt, and which one for pepper?

Which ever is your preference. If you're a salt junkie then use a the one with the 16 holes. If you're are a person that likes balance then put the salt in the 6 holes & the pepper with the 16 holes. I believe in know yourself & the people who you are cooking for especial you're family. If kids are going to use them as well then go with the balance. The salt will really pour out in the 16 holes. Great shakers. I even brought the one for sugar.

I use the 16-hole shaker for salt and the 6-hole shaker for pepper, which I use sparingly. Your choice to use whichever one you prefer.

I use the one with less holes for salt, just to keep our salt intake down. Of course, there is no way to stop from shaking it more, but still. :)

I would use 16 for salt and 6 for pepper . I think the 16 slot would be put to much pepper on your food.

You can do it however you want, but the 16 hole one is for salt. That's always the standard set up...less holes for pepper.

The mechanics are the same; however, the salt grinder does grind alittle finer than the pepper mill . . . . and I will echo the sentiments below. These are THE BEST . . . I'll never own anything else.

The pepper mill loads from the top. And salt shaker is from the bottom. Hope is helps you.

I believe so. I received a set; one for salt and one for pepper. I didn't notice a difference between the two.

They look the same. I will tell you that the pepper doesn't grind as well as the salt. I think if's a function of the difference between the salt crystal, very hard and dense and the peppercorn, which somewhat hollow. I don't know if the 2 mills are interchangeable but I think the odds are pretty good that they are. C

Out of town so don't have with us. We're thinking 2x3 inches. Only problem is if you use for salt the holes are larger and there's a lot of them you will really get too much salt.

No, they are not thrown together. There is a piece of thick plastic down the center of the shaker (you can see the line in the picture). You turn the top one way and you access the salt, then turn the opposite direction and you have the pepper. I have had no problems with it.

They are six inches tall. I opened my pepper mill and the hole is 1 inch across and about 4 inches deep. It will hold a little more than 1/4 C of peppercorns. I didn't open the salt shaker, but it holds a good deal of salt, I am guessing it has about as big an inside measurement as the pepper - probably a little more, as there is no mechanism and the hole would go clear to the top.

I'm not exactly sure which pictures you are looking at. I do see one with pepper (black) and salt (white). I believe they are identical, but one comes with pepper and one with salt.

Only the pepper is a mill. The salt is a normal shaker. You can probably request mills for both though!

It's the pair: one order = two grinders. Incidentally, they're completely identical grinders -- the only thing differentiating the salt grinder from the pepper grinder is what you put in it.

I use mine for sea salt & black pepper corns. U turn the top to grind. You can also adjust the middle to grind fine or course. They are big but I like them cuz you dont have to fill as often. I hope they come out with regular spice size to fit in cabinet.

Salt shaker fills from the bottom.By the way, I was VERY happy with these shakers at first but the pepper mill quickly became problematic and does not work well.

1 shaker, but with 3 interchangeable plates with different-size holes. "Vera nice"

I may have just answered this, but I've only bought the $25 grinders. Maybe the $28 one has a larger area for the salt or pepper. Its a great product

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

No. Each one can be used for either salt or pepper. You need two for a set.
