    Abstract: The Condiment Sprinkler is a spoon- or spatula-shaped device which provides a way for dry salt-type condiments to be evenly and effectively sprinkled onto food (in contrast to the “shaker” method). The Condiment Sprinkler comprises a generally convex bowl or open-ended shovel-shaped spoon and a handle, the shallow bowl (which may be round, ovate, or elongated) being somewhat flattened on the bottom and having raised ribs therein. The raised ribs may form a cross design. The raised ribs—whether they be in a cross design or some other appropriate design, such as ribs or bumps—serve to interfere with or dampen the centripetal and/or centrifugal forces generated when the sprinkler is waved, thereby impeding dumping or clumping of the salt-type condiment on the food. With use of the Condiment Sprinkler, the user can gain precise control over the salt-type material he/she is applying.
