Are there slots to turn to shake the spice out instead of lifting the lid off every time?

It was a gift so can't help you. Wanted the magnet bottom to put on frig due to lack of counter paace.

No. Since the containers are sideways when magnetized to something, you have to lift the lid off every time.

It is hard to tell when the lid is on right. I would cover it with a towel before shaking.

Same with mine. It seems to have been designed that way. It doesn't cause any inconvenience. A more complex design would make it much more difficult to load the pepper.

That would defeat the entire purpose of the product. The point is to store spices that are generally used together under one lid so you don't have to take time opening and closing individual containers.

Yes, that's exactly what I did...I did use a narrow tipped funnel to do this, but I like doing that to keep my spice cabinets a bit more manageable.Hope that helps,Kelly

Hi. I have one of these, and I can take the lid off of mine without removing it from the base.

Yes they are. The only thing that I don't care for is that all of the holes on the top are the same size and some of the spices that I have inside are bigger and don't easily shake out. Then I just take off that piece and shake. But overall I really love the product and have been using it since I got it. It sure saves on space in my cupboard.

Yes there is but when I put the lid on the hole was always in an awkward place by the handle. If you are ok with that, it is good.

You can shake it but hold the lid... mine leaks very little when I shake it..

It does not.While cooking you can open either one side or the other without removing the lid but it doesn't lock in place. Good idea though!

I am on the road in my motor home and the turn table is at my winter residence. What I can tell U is the space between the underside of the top to the lower tray is tall enough to put large spice shakers. Like onion powder, ECT. Hope this helps.

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. :)

The lid does not stay intact without the belt. When you want to use the bottom container alone, you could do that. The top one goes into the bottom one if you remove the middle cover which holds spoon, knife and fork. I never had to do it that way so far. I would do if I have less space or less food to carry.

Sorry, but no. Actually the top rack is the only place for your shakers and they will fit nicely. However make sure that if you mount it on a wall, you leave room above the top shelf for the height of the shakers,(4.5"), to fit, and be moved in and out without a struggle. Don't put it too close to or above your stove. Remember, plastic spice bottles will melt and ruin any spices, along with the risk of fire. Thanks for the question, this my the first time doing this and I hope it helps.

Yes. I just tried, and if the little black ends of the lid hinges are pushed, the top stays open! Hey! I didn't even know that! Glad you asked.

No it doesn't. I just use a small plastic lid to keep it on. If use shake it after you grind, there is not much that comes out.

They're right. I find pushing the button on the side of the lid, then flip down the metal clip like device, flip up the top and you are ready to go. Now the thing on the bottom is a pain and fairly useless but I guess they had to go that extra step. I like it a lot, Don't get me wrong. The sleek design makes it less conspicuous and fits in cup holders pretty good. Let us know how it turns out. Peace...
