Choosing a shaker

A shaker is a bottle with something inside it to break up powder, either a wire ball, a plastic grid or a moulded agitator. Capacities generally run from 400 ml to 1 litre. Beyond that the differences come down to the lid mechanism, whether it holds its seal, and how easy it is to clean properly.

Two things decide whether you keep using one. The lid, because a flip cap that pops open in a bag ruins the bag rather than just the shake, and a screw top is more reliable if you carry it loose. And the mouth width, because a wide mouth is far easier to clean and to add powder to, and narrow necks are where shakers go bad.

Keeping one usable

Rinse it as soon as you finish rather than leaving it in a bag, which is the single thing that determines whether a shaker lasts. Dismantle the lid and wash the seal separately now and then, since that is where residue hides. Most plastic shakers are top rack dishwasher safe; most insulated stainless ones are not.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get rid of the smell in a shaker?

Soak it overnight in warm water with bicarbonate of soda, and take the lid apart so the seal and thread get cleaned too. Protein residue trapped under the seal is almost always the source. If the smell survives that, the plastic has absorbed it and the bottle is past saving.

Wire ball or plastic agitator?

A wire ball mixes slightly more aggressively and is easy to clean but can rattle and will eventually rust if left wet. A plastic agitator or grid is quieter and will not corrode. Both work; it is mostly preference.

Are stainless steel shakers worth it?

They hold temperature, do not absorb odours, and last far longer than plastic, which is the main argument for them. They cost more, are heavier, and most cannot go in a dishwasher. If you have gone through several smelly plastic bottles, the upgrade usually pays off.

Can I put a shaker in the dishwasher?

Most plastic shakers are fine on the top rack. Insulated and stainless bottles usually are not, since dishwasher heat can damage the vacuum seal. Check the base of the bottle, which is normally where it says.

What size should I get?

600 to 700 ml suits most single scoop shakes with room to mix properly. Go larger if you use two scoops, mix with milk, or want to carry water as well. Anything under 500 ml tends to be too tight to mix cleanly.
