Jamie Oliver Shaker also known as the Jamie Oliver Flavour Shaker
(Flavor in the US)

And, thanks for taking the time to visit our website and we hope that you find some useful information here.

Instead of the traditional grinding with a mortar and pestle, Jamie Oliver has designed an alternative in the form of a flavour shaker. The Jamie Oliver Flavour Shaker is designed in such a way that with a few vigorous shakes, it can crush herbs, garlic, nuts and leaves extracting the natural flavours and retaining them for your added enjoyment.
 In no time at all you can prepare dressings for your salads, or flavours for your roasts. The flavor shaker will extract the most natural aromas and tangy flavors thanks to the ceramic ball doing its job as you shake it up and down.

There are seven steps involved in applying this gadget.

• Unscrew the two halves
• Extract the ceramic ball 
• Insert the herbs and nuts etc. in the lower half
• Gently drop the ceramic ball inside
• Screw the two halves back together
• Shake vigorously
• Open the shaker and extract the paste or dressing

Some tips from the master chef himself:

• Don't overfill the Flavour Shaker; make sure your ingredients all fit into the bottom part. You can crush things in batches then add a little more if necessary.
• Use your mixes, marinades, dressings toppings etc., immediately for real freshness.
• Make sure you store the ball inside the Flavour Shaker when not in use--that way you won't lose it
• And finally don't be shy... give it a bash.
  

The Jamie Oliver Shaker now comes in a variety of colours, including, grey, red, olive and black. No doubt Jamie will be adding to this list in the future.
And just in case you were wondering, it can be placed in the dishwasher, highest rack recommended.
