Manufacturer's Description
Jamie Oliver's Flavour Shaker will crush, grind, mix, puree, blend and release flavour from whole spices (including cinnamon stick and star anise), herbs, garlic, nuts, citrus rind or even lime or bay leaves. The secret of the Flavour Shaker is its little ceramic ball, which crushes, grinds, bruises and mixes the contents releasing all sorts of amazing smells and zingy flavours, while you are shaking it.
 | In just a few seconds you will see how easy it is to add flavour to all kinds of everyday dishes, such as meat rubs for really aromatic roasts and grills; marinades for deep down flavour; dips for tasty nibbles; oil dressing for salads, bakes or grills; fragrant sugars to finish off cakes and puddings … to name but a few tasty treats! |
The Flavour Shaker is sized to give you just the right amount (you don’t need a lot) and you can pour it straight over your food. Ready to cook, ready to serve … get stuck in! |  |
 | What Jamie says The Flavour Shaker is a really fun way to add great flavour to your food. It’s quick. It's fresh. It's easy. This is going to transform your everyday meals into something fantastic—give it a go!'--Jamie Oliver |
How to use
Amazon.co.uk Review
If like me you enjoy cooking with freshly prepared ingredients but sometimes find it a bit of a hassle, then the Jamie Oliver Flavour Shaker is the product for you. In a nut shell it is a non-electrical device that crushes and grinds herbs and whole spices. Sound familiar? Well unlike a traditional pestle and mortar the Flavour Shaker is far more user-friendly and versatile.
At first glance the Flavour Shaker reminded me of one of those old-fashioned Russian Dolls--even to the point of splitting in 2 halves--but this kitchen tool is anything but old-fashioned with its ergonomic grip and tough polycarbonate body. Rattling around inside is a ceramic ball, the key feature of the Flavour Shaker: it is this that crushes and grinds your ingredients as you shake.
Using fresh herbs, spices in their seed form, garlic, chilies and other unprocessed ingredients make such a difference to everyday meals and the Flavour Shaker enables them to be prepared with ease. I was particularly impressed when I tried Garlic. Using a knife results in slices, a garlic crusher purees; the Flavour Shaker produces slices, pulp and juices—perfect! Curries using prepared whole spices from seeds are spectacular compared to using pre-ground from a jar. You get a fuller flavour as more of the oils are retained. The bottom half of the Flavour Shaker (the larger end) starts the crushing and the top end processes the contents more finely.
This product is easy to use, requires little effort, there are no spillages and you can see precisely how the contents are being processed. I salute you Jamie Oliver--the Flavour Shaker is a smart invention that fits perfectly within the surroundings of the 21st century kitchen and will intensify the tastes of the meals you cook within it.--Kate Copeland, Amazon.co.uk

Disappointed
i agree with most of the comments made....its a disappointed. It constantly leaks and it doesn't matter how hard you hold it together. I have used a small tub and it works alot better. Would not recommend this product to anyone!!!!!
Use a pestle & mortar
My girlfriend got me this for Xmas 2006. It works OK, but is a pain to clean and/or get all the bits out to actually use them. This is especially true if you are mixing up your crushed herbs with, say, olive oil. Consequently, I have used it only a handful of times and always revert to my good old-fashioned pestle & mortar. I have always been quite a fan of Jamie Oliver, but The Flavour Shaker strikes me as a cheap commercial gimmick.
This product should be banned !
Please beware - the screw clips can break off and become hard shards of plastic which are nearly an inch long and very sharp! I bought this and then read the reviews - thus I have never tightened the jar nor even used the ball! After less than half a dozen uses (all of which leaked!), one of the four screw clips broke off and I only noticed it when I bit into into it whilst tasting my dressing! It's very sharp and I could be very harmful if swallowed. I am very angry and think the product should be removed from the shelves. Please, please do not buy one.
