This pepper shaker is great! We love looking at the choices and deciding which heat and flavor will best go with our meal. We've had this shaker quite a while now and the spices are holding up well and are still tasty.

Bought this for my Son's Birthday, he loves spicy food & likes to cook- he's had alot of fun with the different spices.

This is a fantastic product and a great gift for anyone that loves to spice up their food. I gave it to my dad as a Christmas present and he loves it. So far we have only tried the cayenne pepper - it is quite a bit hotter than other cayenne that I have had but it has an excellent taste. Absolutely recommend!

If you appreciate caliente, you MUST try this!

As several reviewers have also commented, the packaging for this product is terrible. It is very hard to get the spices out, and when you do it makes a big mess on the container. The contents are great, though I wish they sold the habanero flakes separately because I seem to go through those the quickest.

The package is poorly designed - all the peppers are covered with the same plastic cap and it comes off very easy. When one wants to use 1 of the 6 types of peppers available, he will have some trouble to stop all the others from falling also.

The quality of the actual product is good, but not being able to select and easily use the one you want is against the very idea of this shaker.
Would not buy again.

I have been experimenting with different flavors using spices and herbs and other condiments. I haven't had a lot of experience with different chili peppers so this was a great way to sample the chilies in a variety of forms. I'd recommend it as a gift for novice cooks who like their food with varying degrees of heat.

First, the bad parts: the canister is awkward. If you want some sprinkles of any item, sure this is fine, but if you are trying to get a teaspoonful of any one item offered for a recipe, expect to spend five minutes getting the proper amount.

But this Six-Shaker does what it does very well, which is offer a lot of differing heat levels and flavors (raw to smokey) in one easy to transport canister. I take mine with me everywhere.

Value? Well, it is a little steep for the couple spoonfuls of peppers in each chamber, but what you are paying for here is the round-robin with lots of selection in one device, not totting six different jars.

Dave's Gourmet products are always high quality on the ingredients/flavor side of things, and this product is no exception. These are high-quality peppers (hint: want to know how to tell bad quality dried peppers? Well, they taste increasingly gritty and/or dusty because guess what? The sellers are extending the product with dust!).

If you have one favorite dried powdered pepper though (say, chipolte flakes), then this isn't for you. You will use up your favorite long before the others are used and be stuck with orphan peppers for a long time. Me, I like variety.

So if you like variety, hot peppers, and easy to transport this is a great assortment.

I love the hotness, and I am constantly running out of different types of pepper flakes. I had to buy this when I saw it, and I don't regret it. Spice it up!

I enjoyed the variety of chiles, but the canister is pure hell. You can't even break into the thing. Even though the habanero and chipotle flakes were awesome, I'll never buy anything again in this ridiculous canister. To get a tablespoon of flakes, I had to pound the canister on a newspaper on my counter. I probably spent five minutes on the task.
