Grains of rice absorb moisture well and release it slowly later, and also don't fall out of the shaker (usually). Rice is a common solution.
One scenario for testing a salt shaker could involve assessing its durability by subjecting it to multiple drops from different heights onto a hard surface. Testing the ease of use could involve measuring the flow rate of salt when the shaker is tilted at various angles. Additionally, testing for seal effectiveness could involve filling the salt shaker with water and observing for leaks when turned upside down.
The rice keeps the salt dry and prevents it from clumping up. It keeps it dry by absorbing humidity (moisture) in the air. Caution! Be sure the holes in the salt shaker lid are not too large as to allow the rice grains to pass through. Otherwise, you will get rice mixed with the salt when you use it.
A container that stores salt is called a salt cellar or salt shaker. It is typically used for easy access to salt during cooking or meals, and can come in various shapes and sizes.

No, dry ice will not melt on contact with salt. In the first place, dry ice does not melt. It does not have a liquid phase under normal atmospheric pressure. It transforms from solid to gas, which is called sublimation. Dry ice sublimes, rather than melts. Secondly, salt has no effect on the sublimation of dry ice. Salt has an effect on frozen water, but it does not have an effect on frozen carbon dioxide. Salt is soluble in water, it is not soluble in carbon dioxide.
Salt has been used as a food preservative for thousands of years, so it will keep indefinitely unless it is contaminated with foreign substances or gets wet and/or hardens. Kept clean and dry it will keep indefinitely. You can keep salt dry from humidity by putting a few grains of uncooked rice in salt shaker with it.
because it is a salt shaker
Put uncooked rice in the bottom of the shaker. The rice will absorb the atmospheric moisture instead of the salt, and the salt will flow out of the shaker better.
Salt Shaker - song - was created on 2004-01-27.
you put rice in a salt shaker because rice sucks up water so the salt does not get wet.
This is a small container for salt.
To open a salt shaker, simply twist or unscrew the top lid in a counterclockwise direction.

In order to conduct electric current, salt has to be either dissolved in a liquid, or else melted in its own liquid form. A pile of dry salt out of the shaker won't do it.
Begin by lifting the salt shaker off the table. Hold directly over the pineapple. Flip shaker downward. Watch salt fall from shaker. Congratulations. You just salted your pineapple.
80 g table salt may be contained in a salt shaker but also in a little plastic bag or in a can.
