Hey I think more detail on each of the different styles of shaker would be great 121.44.156.82 (talk) 12:32, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

regarding boston shaker

[edit]

Does the Boston Shaker necessarily consist of a steel and a glas/plastic-vessel? In the episode "Raising the Bar again", Alton Brown states that it usually "is nothing more than a couple of metal jars". I was just wondering, 'cause the statement that it is just 2 metal jars does not go well with the fact, that the 2part-metal-shakers are not even mentioned in the article here^^ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.76.226.229 (talk) 14:08, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The standard boston shaker is a metal container and a pint glass. If no pint glass is available or there is worry about durability, then a second smaller metal container can be used, although this can cause problems with the seal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.238.126.144 (talk) 09:33, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Are shakers really going out if style?

> quickly giving way to modern electric appliances They list a book source, but it seems to go against my own modern experience around the world. Ideas for a source that disagrees... Maybe sales information for them? Lansey (talk) 23:32, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, in the last half of the 20th century, blenders became very common for mixing cocktails, and shaker tins became uncommon in many bars. What isn't said here, and that you might be confusing, is that shakers are now quite popular, more than blenders are for cocktails, and will likely continue to be. ɱ (talk) 00:38, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
